PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Hi guys,

I'm curious what were your biggest challenges when you started online?

For almost 2 years I've had so many troubles to find my passion that I almost quit!

When I first started working from home 100% of the time it was a huge challenge. I realised that it's not just about learning aspects of the business, it's about learning how you work and learning to motivate yourself when you don't have a boss anymore.

My main problem was focus. And still is, sometimes.

  Yes yes yes!
  Our challenges rarely change much. They are as much a part of Who We Are as the character, skill and talent we use to conquer and achieve our goals.
  Take it light. Keep it right. Focus on Integrity: Who You Are.
  And as Churchill said: "Three rules: Never give up. Never give up. And... Never give up!"

motivation.
I knew I wanted to work from home and online. But honestly, I had no idea what I wanted to do. Every idea I had sort of dead ended and my motivation went down hill.
I eventually figured out what I CAN do, and do well. It got me excited and I found my motivation again.

  Focus and motivation are huge, since if you lose one or both of those, NOTHING gets done. And that's obviously a problem.
  
  Also, finding the balance when it comes to figuring out what you want to do. Like you said, finding your passion can be hard. I write, and I love writing! But I was floundering and couldn't figure out why until I realized I was focused on the wrong kind of writing.
  
  So if you know you love doing something, but you can't quite make it work, see if there are any other forms or versions of it that might work better for you.
  
  Thanks

Working from home is so different, because you do have to do one thing, learn it, apply and work through the tough times. It is easy to put it off until later, then you stop and quit. The other thing is for me, I liked so many ideas it was hard to choose one.

Getting started was my main problem but then you do one thing and new problems arise.
