Don't Quite! How to Succeed in life inspite of failure

Here is why most people give up easily in life.

Every day new folks start an online business with the hope of putting out in the efforts like 5 times and then they are out. I just wonder why? The bitter truth is, anyone that's serious about making money online wouldn't just suddenly expect to make money from the second of getting started. Perhaps you expected that an experienced online marketing gurus would give you all their secrets on the first day for free, well, nope. It doesn't work that way.

Let’s talk about Abraham Lincoln, according to Lifehack, Lincoln’s failures were broad and numerous. He achieved the unique feat of leaving for a war a captain and returning a private (the lowest military rank).

He next took failure in his stride during multiple failed business attempts. Undeterred, Lincoln marched into the political realm, where he launched several failed runs at political office before his ascendance to President.

Coming back home.

Let’s say you want to make money online, making money online is like any other business you start, you start from ground ZERO, and you actually have to work to be successful. For instance, just as I create niche blogs and freelance on the side. For the new sites, I treat it as a new project knowing that I will need the same energy I put in the one that makes money for this one to do the same. Or, if I want to get Freelance gigs, apart from Fiverr or mainstream networks, I have to go out there and get some no...s till I get a yes...ss for a chance to get paid doing what I love.

Do not quit yet.

Talking about quitting, you have to note that being a quitter is not always a bad thing. Depending on the context we arrive in, it can be a real blessing.

To put it simply, who we call a quitter is someone who gives up on something. We generally have a negative connotation for this, especially when personal development comes to mind, but what we sometimes fail to realize is that there are certain things people need to quit along their path of success.

Types of Quitters in Life

According to Connor, The first type is the kind of person who simply gives up after a couple of trials. (I don’t have any fancy names for these kinds of people.). We all know these kinds of people, and we have all been this type of person as well.

This is when someone attempts something challenging and then gives up within a relatively short period of time. They do this because, fundamentally, they don’t want to be challenged; what they want is to maintain status quo.

They believe that what they do, or what they have is good enough and there’s no need to improve or expand on something that doesn’t fit within their ideals. The problem here, however, is that when people do this they are potentially missing an opportunity to discover, or tap into a skill they never knew they had.

Also, the second type is the person who gradually quits over time. We also know a lot of people who are like this, and again, we have all been like this ourselves. This kind of person is someone who wants to be productive, but their homeostasis takes over after a while and brings them down to center.

Homeostasis works because it keeps us alive, which means it’s closely linked to our comfort zones.

When we attempt to do something that brings us out of our comfort zones we’ll eventually act out subconsciously, and we’ll drop down to a lower level. It’s a decline of progress.

This type is not easy; it requires hard work and a lot of determination. It requires a person to go through the challenge of getting out of homeostasis and entering new levels of comfort and satisfaction (I say levels plural, because this is a continuous process).

It requires a person to experience the decline like the former type, but become aware enough to overcome the subconscious. These people learn from failure and make friends with it, and they utilize failure as a tool for learning, so they may improve upon themselves.

Do not Be a Quitter

So whether you want to start a new blog, be an entrepreneur, make impact, don't be a quitter, like most, but make a plan and execute it. Or write below, why you failed and gave up after some days or weeks. Maybe I will start to understand it.
