I am guessing we all go through this but when you first start out you have a bunch of energy and are willing to do whatever it takes to get your business going. Once some time kicks in you start to wake up not as motivated as you were before especially if you haven't made any money yet, how do you guys deal with this. I am going to keep controlling my thoughts like napolean hill said, and also realize that every entrepreneur has to deal with it and it is part of the game. I can easily see how most people will give up and adapt their 9-5 style simply because it is tough to handle, but how have you guys dealt with the mood swings when starting out and when those doubt start to play in your mind? I am using my faith in God, and also reading my books again, seems to help and controlling my thoughts how about any one else?? thanks
