Profitable,Mistake,was,Saturda DIY A Profitable Mistake
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.

It was a Saturday and my wife wasabsolutely stir crazy to just get out of the house and go somewhere. Ishared her anxiety; we'd not been out to do anything fun for over twoweeks. Between colds that wouldn't go away, three demanding children,and the never-ending quest to find the magic formula that'll make allour money concerns disappear, my wife and I had become isolatedprisoners. Thirty minutes after we woke found us scurrying pall mall around thehouse grabbing everything we could think of to guarantee a wonderfulday out. When we're in grab mode it's my responsibility to grab the GPS(my wife and I are notorious for getting lost ). As I grabbed thecompact unit I realised that I hadn't charged it up in a very longtime. "No problemo!" I thought. After all I could always plug it intothe cigarette lighter and let it charge en route. Without a secondthought I tossed the unit into my pocket and jumped in the car. Wecouldn't get out of the drive way fast enough!When my wife and I go out together every minute is precious because wenever know when our next special time will be. So, before we get towhatever entertainment we've planned for the day, we make the best useof our travelling time by sharing our hearts with one another. After turning on the GPS and noting that the display light was shininghealthily we began our conversation. Though so much had been going onin both of our minds over the last couple of weeks, we'd both come tosome of the same conclusions about some very important life decisions.As we talked and laughed we quickly lost track of time. Time didn'tbecome a reality to me again until my wife said, "It's been awhilesince I've heard anything from the GPS, so I've just continued on. ButI'm pretty sure that we're in the wrong place." The time on the digital clock revealed that we'd been on the road foran hour and a half. We were supposed to be at our destination in justunder two hours! Crap on toast! I grabbed the GPS to find out what theestimated time of arrival was only to find that the LED light had fadedout. I quickly plugged it into the cigarette lighter and re-typed inour desired place. Turned out the unit must've been inactive for quiteawhile because we were still just two hours short of where we weregoing! Whilst we'd talked and dreamed together we'd ended up incompletely the opposite direction.Once the GPS was reset we went right back to where we'd left off intalking over our dreams (all though I made sure to keep my eye on theGPS this time). By the time we reached our destination both of us werevibrant and excited. We knew something magical had happened and thatwe'd agreed on some changes that would change our lives forever.Changes that would skyrocket us to exactly where we wanted to be inlife.That evening, as I looked back fondly over the day I was overwhelmedwith wonder. My life was changed by one silly mistake. As I ponderedthis, I began to question myself about why I'd remained virtuallyfrozen over the last five years so desperately afraid that any mistakesI made would only scream failure to anyone I met. But in reality theopposite was true. My lack of motivation and daring was doing thatalreadyFrom that point on I chose to get out there and just do it. No morelooking back or toe dipping. I began to look forward to times when Igot results far different than I intended. For each time I did Ilearned something of great value. That something might've set me backinitially, but if I persevered in understanding the results of myactions it always ended in me moving forward.Today I'm proud to announce that I'm making a great many mistakes. AndI'm making them with a smile on my face knowing that I'm always movingto the next level and evolving as a person. My financial burdenshaven't yet lifted, but I now know it's just a matter of time. All Ineed to do is concentrate on my ever expanding goals and learn from myerrors.
