10 Questions to Ask Yourself When You Have a Bad Home Based Business Phase (or day)

Any business owner will likely agree that while we may work from home, we still have bad days. Some days we lack motivation – others we get discouraged and wonder if what we are doing is right or if what we have to say is reaching anyone at all. And on those really bad days, we may even consider throwing in the towel.

There may be times when hanging it up might be the right decision, just like there are times when leaving your current job to move on to something better and more challenging might be in your best interest.

There have been plenty of times that I have wanted to hang it up and go back to being a timecard punching secretary with a low pressure job – but what I’ve realized is those really bad days have all ended up being nothing more than a day or phase of bad emotions or self-imposed limitations that need to be overcome in order for me to move on to greater success and productivity.

Are you asking yourself questions that reinforce limitations?

Allow me to give you some examples of limiting questions:

1. What am I doing wrong?
2. Why am I not seeing results?
3. Why do I keep messing up?
4. What am I missing?

Take just a moment and step back from those questions. Now think about the answers that MIGHT be provided in a hypothetical way. Do you see how you might be telling your mind to look for answers that continue to reinforce the self-imposed limitations?

Now with that in mind and pushing all negativity aside, lets think about how we can approach this same dilemma with positive questioning to incite positive result.

Here are examples of questions without limitations:

1. What would I have to believe about myself to feel secure in my decision and path?
2. What would I have to believe in order to be excited about myself and my business?
3. What opportunity for growth am I faced with right now?
4. What would it take to make me want to take on this challenge with excitement and enthusiasm?
5. What would have to happen in order for me to feel like my business is successful no matter what?
6. What can I do right now to make this success happen?
7. What resources are available to me that I haven’t explored yet that might help me build my business? Are there friends, books, professionals I know that might help me take my business to the next level?
8. What things do I already know about my business that will eventually make me successful? What haven’t I done yet and why haven’t I done them?
9. What accomplishments have I already achieved?
10. What lessons can I take from past successes that will help enable me to repeat successes on greater levels?

The power behind a positive question that opens doors instead of imposing limitations is key in helping you find all the answers you need within yourself.

So says The Law of Attraction.

Instead of asking questions that will keep calling in limitations – put some thought into how you can ask the same questions, in a positive way that will call on success to pay her visit.

We get what we ask for.
