Do you remember what it felt like to see your home business failing?
It’s never easy to watch your business fail, let alone remember it.
However, we can use that to our advantage and show others what to watch for.
I’ll admit, going through that stage was a painful experience? Was it for you?
Or perhaps you’re stuck there now.
Well, today I am going to help you get unstuck by letting you in on what us, other home business owners had done.
In this audio, you’ll learn the five signs to be aware of:
1. Procrastination becomes your worst nightmare
2. Fear consumes you
3. Repetition bores the living daylights out of you
4. Stuck in paralysis of analysis
5. Learning is for students and you’re not one of them

Jerome,
Nice job on the Audio!! So many people that don’t want to face the facts or signs that there home business is failing, is not being open to learning, so many think they know it all and refuse to acknowledge mistakes, struggles and do something different to turn it around. Thanks for sharing this.

Hey Chris,
You’re right, you do need to be open to learning. This is when the problems of failing can be turned into an opportunity to fix what isn’t working.

I am in high gear right now. I can’t hardly sleep because I am so excited about all of the things going on in my business. The second tasks you must do become a “pain”, you need to take action to correct those though patterns or they will cripple your business.
You are putting out some awesome, awesome content!
Eric
That is such a great feeling Eric…I know.
Great one, and I’m glad you brought that up because it so true. If you don’t do this, it will cripple your business.
Jerome Ratliff
Hi Jerome,
I like it that you mention fear of success, most people – myself included always think of fear of failure. But it’s very often fear of success that leads to failure. It’s very often the fear of standing out of the crowd that holds people back. Thanks for this great post !
this is an amazing post,included the audio. I’m glad that none of these signs holds true for me
Take care

Hi Oliver,
Absolutely, fear of success leads to failure.
Standing out in the crowd is another fear – thanks for passing that on.
Have a great day,

I like tip#5 they are all important but the more we learn the more we can share and as a result like you say we are compensated for it. Great post.

1. Procrastination – procrastinate on the minor things not the major things.
2. Fear – dont run from it walk towards it. Educate yourself then apply.
3. Repetition – Look at it as the only way to get closer to perfection.
4. Paralysis of Analysis – All that your learning is useless until you DO IT!
5. Student – Learn, apply, teach, repeat!
Hey Jerome
Awesome audio with great tips. As I was listening I was writing notes in the comment box (hope you don’t mind).
Great stuff brother.

Have a great weekend,

Jerome, all 5 tips carry the same importance and people need to solve all 5 of these if they want to move forward.
Holding back and long planing when we are gonna apply something can be worse than not learning it at all! I say, the first thing we learn , go out there and try it, do it, no better way to make it work but practice through applying!
Fantastic post and audio,
thanks for sharing,
Milena
Hi Milena,
I’m all about that…learn it and then give it a try. If it works, great. If not, then how would anyone ever know.
Have a great weekend,
Jerome Ratliff
Great stuff, Jerome!
I actually need to catch up with some of my learning, but I hear ya’, there is such a thing as too much learning and too little doing.
Have a great 4th of July!

Perfectly said Derek…”Too much learning and too little doing.”
A lot of HBOs can relate to that.
Jerome Ratliff
P.S. You and Monique have a great 4th too.
I love the Brian Tracy quote, I have eaten quite a few frogs
How to avoid procrastination – schedule your work and leisure time.
Fear – I love fear, I know when something scares me it is worth doing
Repetition, yes it can be boring but but repetition breeds greatness
Paralysis of analysis – I fall prey to this one all the time
Continuous learning – no problem, I learn something new everyday
Thanks so much Jerome for making me think today

No problem Peter.
We all face these at some point, and it’s what we decide to do instead is what matters.

Hey Jerome,
Awesome audio.
I can really relate to Procrastination, Fear and Analysis Paralysis early on. It cost me a lot of money because I would just buy course after course to avoid actually applying any of what I learned in those courses
In the end I had to stop kidding myself and “Just Do It!” – that was just liberating. When you start to do it, it’s never as bad as you think it’s going to be.

Fantastic tips Jerome! Those are all very real factors that most failed business owners will recognize. I truly believe one can and will overcome any and all of it but you will only do so if you are truly passionate about what it is you are doing.
