Think it’s easy to build a business? I think that’s a bunch of horseshit.

It's dead simple to build a business.
But it's fucking hard to not self destruct.
Joanna Saunders
Very good reminder, Jenny. I am frozen in time at the moment. It appears that all is against me...my computer is acting up, I am ANGRY, I feel I am too busy. What actually happening is I am afraid....I am afraid to move, to do the wrong thing. So I do nothing. Our mastermind call was an eye opener today. Others are struggling too. This evening (before I listened) I decided I need to make a move. Write some more - just do something. If I am doing what I love then the hours will be worth it. It will be better than the status quo. Thanks Jenny

Joanna Saunders Here's the liquid nitrogen that will freeze your progress faster than anything else: To think you are, at any one moment, in any one situation, alone.
Truth is, we're all in this together. Through the good, the bad and the ugly. Or the true, the good and the beautiful. Matter of perspective and/or favorite films...but you, sister, are never alone. <3
Joanna Saunders
JennyBBones Ha, You are so right...who am I to think that I am the only one who is frozen.....Is that a HUGE ego or what. Yesterday was not a good day. I continue to work on my stuff. Had a great session with a client this evening. She told me " I am the mirror that reflects back to her what I see." This gives her a new way of looking at things. I love this. I am good at what I do and I do make a difference.

But it's not faaaaaaiiiiir! I want to make six figures while drinking a margarita on the beach! All those people online told me I could -- they have a SYSTEM, you know! And now you're telling me I have to actually WORK? What a buzzkill!!

LynnHess LOL...well, we can still have those margaritas baby~!! All work and no play is no good.
LynnHess
JennyBBones And apparently I have a future date to sing karaoke with Sandi, so I suggest we combine these endeavors. I'll bring the margarita money, because I should be making six figures ANY DAY NOW!

LynnHess You, SandiAmorim , margaritas, AND karaoke?
Sounds like perfection.
And the good news? You probably don't need six figures right now. It's actually very freeing to figure out how little we actually need to keep things moving. xoxo
Sandi Amorim
LynnHess JennyBBones I am SO in for this date!!!
And yeah, life ain't fear. Now what? ;-)

LynnHess JennyBBones Haha, just caught my Freudian slip. Meant to write 'fair' and wrote 'fear' instead! Perfect!

Thank you for telling the truth, Jenny. I fell for the "make 6 figures in 6 months" talk when I first entered the internet business world. Boy, did I pay a large price in terms of money and time before I discovered that the talk smelled suspiciously like what comes out of the tail-end of the horse. But when I started to say as much, it amazed me how few truthtellers like yourself I could find to validate my suspicions. So please keep spreading the word, Jenny, that they are a lot of spreaders of something else out there.

Carol Hess It makes me so frustrated and sad when I hear of so many people I care about falling into that huge steaming pile of poo...who'm I kidding? You were most likely shoved right into it. Because that's how they roll. And I think there are so few truthtellers because they're afraid. They're afraid of pissing off the "big guns." They're afraid that people won't want their services anymore. They're afraid they will run out of Nutella in the middle of the night. They're afraid of a lot.As long as they can keep up the charade that this is easy, they can keep making money off that lie. It's sad. And it's time it ends.

JennyBBones Yes, it is absolutely time for it to end. Thank you for doing your part to see that it does.

Preach it, sister! This stuff is fun, but it IS some hard, freakin' work, too! There are no shortcuts or magic templates that create instant success.

tsilvestre It really is fun. There's nothing else I'd rather spend 60-70 hours a week doing!
Thank you, Tea~!
