Unfavorable circumstances

Key Questions to Ask Yourself


  • Are you failing because you are new to this and are still learning? Is there anyone who you can consult with to increase your learn curve?

  • Do you enjoy what you’re doing and can you continue to enjoy it years from now, even without great success at it?

  • Do the results justify the amount of effort you put in? Are others achieving more than you do with significantly lesser efforts?

  • Is this the right place and time for you to pursue your initiatives with full force? Do you have the right supportive people around you who buy into your ideas?
