When Patience is Your Enemy

I've never been a particularly patient person. I come by it honestly though, because my mother is probably one of the most impatient people on the face of the planet. Being impatient, of course, poses a big threat to my internet marketing success, as it does to a lot of people, especially when they're first starting out.

Impatience is probably one of the largest thwarters of internet income success. It kills a newbie's dream every day. Probably more than one a day, as they start giving up because they haven't given a system enough time to work, or they don't realize that it sometimes takes a while to rank a website and start getting good traffic, or the various other reasons.

I have a system that I've been making consistent money with. I know that it works and I just need to scale things. I feel almost horrible about it though, for all of those people that don't make any money at all. At first I was impatient to make my first sale which almost led to me wanting to give up. Now that I make money every day, I'm impatient for it to grow into a more substantial amount. I know that it takes time for things to grow, especially when you purchase your domains brand new with no prexisting backlinks. This is a business, after all, and Rome wasn't built in a day.

To the more experienced Warriors out there. What do you do when you start feeling impatient? What form does your chill pill take?

I was thinking about taking a day or two off to calm myself and refocus. I tend to work too much and burn myself into the ground. Needless to say, impatience leads to stress, which most of us experience in this line of work, at some point or another. So, how do you cope?
