When starting a new work at home business it is very easy to become consumed by it. We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation.

My next discovery/conclusion was that, if I'm ever to succeed in accomplishing my income goals online (or off line, for that matter), I need to first of all decide EXACTLY what I want out of life and what kind of income I'm trying to establish to fulfill those dreams, so that I can conjure up a concrete mental picture of it.You know, there is a story in one of my very favorite books that I mentioned a couple of issues back. (For those of you who missed my list of favorite books and would like to have it, just visit the archives at http://www.elfexpressionsezine.com)In "Riches Within Your Reach," Robert Collier tells about a certain woman who had lost her job through no fault of her own. A widow, she was the sole support of her three children and herself, and try as she might, she'd found it impossible to obtain gainful employment. She was nearing the end of her rope, her money was about to run out, and the landlord was threatening eviction.One day as she set out to look for a job, she happened to stop by a magazine stand, and her eye was caught by a title about "treasure-mapping" for success and supply. She was led to buy the magazine, but instead of looking for work that day, she went home (something totally illogical, which we'll talk about another time) and devoured the entire magazinethat attracting article in particular.Then she dug out a bunch of old papers and set to work to put together a treasure mapso many things came to her mind to put on itfirst, the little cottage at the edge of town, then the little dress shop she'd always longed for, then a carand in that cottage would be a piano for the girlsand a yard in the back where she could grow flowersshe worked all day and cut pictures and words and sentences out of papers and magazinesall connected with the idea of success and abundance.She worked and worked on her treasure map, carefully placing in the middle of it a picture of a little storeroom, underneath which she pasted the words "Betty's Style Shop" and pictures of fashionable clothing. Throughout the treasure map she inserted little mottoes and sayings, all carrying out the idea of success, abundance, happiness, and harmony, and she was getting more excited all the while.She pasted everything onto a large sheet of posterboard and began to FEEL herself living in the cottage and working in the little dress shop. She became completely enthralled with her project and tacked the poster on the wall of her bedroom right in front of the bed, so that it was the first thing she saw in the morning and the last thing at night.She vividly SAW herself living her dream: she and the children laughing and talking in the cottage, arranging the furniture and putting up curtains; she'd PICTURE her daughters at the piano singing and playing; she would SEE her son sitting in the little library with books and papers all around him; she would SEE herself walking around her shop as people came and went, buying her merchandise, paying her for it, and leaving happy.Bottom line, folks, she really GOT INTO IT!!!!Gradually, she began to understand that the treasure map was but the means of impressing upon her subconscious mind the pattern from which to build the conditions of success and harmony into her life.And she did something elsesomething most of us fail to doshe began praising and thanking God that her dreams were ALREADY REALITY! Whoa!Stop right there, you sayisn't this just living in some sort of fantasy world?NO! Because that's how faith and prayer work! Otherwise, where would faith be? There would be no need for it. You have ABSOLUTELY GOT TO BELIEVE that your dreams have already been accomplished in the spiritual dimension. Then HOLD ONTO THAT BELIEF like a guy who's just slipped over the side of a cliff and has grabbed onto a tree root. Sure it's painful; sure it's scary; sure there's no VISIBLE help in sight. But would you rather opt for the alternative? As long as you hold on, you still have hope!
