or just out of the blue.
Hay,
I haven't yet made money online, so it's hard to maintain the motivation for a long day.
I try to work from home, develop websites, study seo, marketing, etc..
But at some hours some fear comes to me:
Who the hell do you think U R?!
Go and find some "normal" job and stop waisting your time and your parents money!
You know how many people fail and loose in this market?
You know that google will kill all affiliate?
I know it's not very rational because the alternatives jobs i have are really not something so great, and if i wanted to open a resturant it would have cost me allot more money, and there are allot of young people who tried this and failed.
Anyway i think know what to answer, but what should I do about the negative emotions?
Thanks for advices!

      Yazu, are you doing what you do online just to make money? I know that most of us ultimately want to do that, but usually there is something else that precedes the money.

      It's been said that if you get your own firewood you get warmed twice. Well, when I lived in the woods I did get my own firewood and I have to say you get warmed a lot more that twice. First you get warmed just walking in the woods to find the right dry tree. Then you get warm when you cut it down. You get warmed again when you load it into your truck. And again when you unload it. After that you have to split it and get warmed from that. Next you stack it or "rick it up", that creates body heat. You get warmed again when you have to go out in the cold and get the wood from the shed and pack it into the house. Finally, you light the fire and get to sit back and enjoy the wonderful wood heat.

      Let's talk about negatives. (permit a little exaggeration here, although these things happened but not all at one time) The chain saw broke, I got stuck in the mud, the wind was blowing and I got cold, the handle on the splitting maul cracked and I had to tape it up. Honestly, the worst thing that happened was that someone stole both of my chain saws and I had to cut my cord wood by hand. So what? You just keep going. What's the alternative? If you decide to quit it would be better if you never started.

      So what happened? I wanted to sit by the stove and enjoy the heat but during the process that led up to that I enjoyed all the other activities required. Same thing in building your business. If you are enjoying what you are doing you will just keep moving forward, confident that one day you will reap what you have sown. There are laws about that and it just has to work out...if you don't quit.
