What’s one of the characteristics most home business owners have that prevents them from having success?
Did you know it’s the faith in that they will succeed?
Here is a great definition I have on faith and I’m not sure where it came from, however, it’s a great way to explain what faith is…
“A strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny.”
Now let me ask you this…Do you think you have the power to control your results with your home business?
You absolutely do and let me explain why.
Where you are at today, either with your job, your business, or your relationships got you to there based on your faith.
It doesn’t mean you are meant to be there, but there was a strong enough faith that you believed this is where you need to be.
So you no doubt have the ability to control your desired output.
Will there be challenges? Yes there will be.
Does it mean you quit and throw in the towel?
No you do not, if you really want to succeed.
Ok, now let us say today you are not at a place you are happy with. What is your faith telling you?
It’s probably telling you it’s time for a change. This is a sign where you need to take inspired action, one thing I learned from Joe Vitale sometime ago.
So you took that leap of faith to pursue what you feel compelled to do, congratulations.
Now you will be successful. Right? Not exactly though. If you have the burning desire, then yes you will inevitably succeed.
How you get this burning desire all stems from your faith. I know I’m getting elementary here, but stay with me.
Can you imagine having faith in something you don’t believe in? Probably not!
So if you want to have success with your home business then you must firmly believe in what you are doing is serving a purpose for your clients and the lives of people you touch.
Hold onto the faith and feeling, and use that to your advantage. Increasing your faith has a lot to do with you feeling what you are doing is right. And, if you don’t have that faith, then really start considering what your options are.
Choose the one that fulfills you and you will take what you thought once was never possible as something you now can achieve.
Do you have faith in you? How are you increasing your faith in succeeding?
I know this post is a little unusual, but it’s vital to have the right mindset and come from that place if success is to ever come to you.
Tell us a little bit about how you use this in your home business.

Hey Jerome,
This is a great topic! So many individuals start a business not in faith but using hope. They constantly saying, “I hope it works out!”
When you have strong faith in anything. It always works out!

Hey Josh,
I’ve heard that before, “I hope it works out!”
As we learned from Napoleon Hill, faith is the starting point. In fact, it’s just the beginning to the great and wonderful things that are about to come about.
Talk to you later,

Hey Jerome,
Faith is the biggest thing holding anyone back from being successful in anything. If they don’t truly believe in what they are doing, it is easy for them to come up with excuses to quit and not go all the way.
Good stuff,

Hi Jerome,
Great topic!
“Without faith a man can do nothing; with it all things are possible.” _Sir William Osler
If you don’t have faith and you don’t believe in yourself and what you are doing is right, then you are destined to fail.
My 2 cents
Have an awesome week!

Hey Jerome,
Well said, you have to have almost “crazy” faith in your ability to muscle through all the issues that will be in your way.
Thanks for this post my friend.

Hey Jerome,
This is really a HUGE part that a lot of Networkers are missing.
For example, some people experience some struggles starting out, which gives them a “guilty conscious” that prevents them from recruiting anyone else into their business.
It’s the faith that’s missing there (and maybe a marketing plan

No more missing piece to puzzle now, right Derek.

Faith can move mountains, or grow your business. Sometimes it’s our faith in what we’re doing that keeps us going through the dark times and struggles.
You’ve got to believe in yourself and what you can accomplish before you’re ever really going to have true success.
Good stuff, Jerome.

Hey Jerome,
There is something Will Smith said that i think fits this,
“Don’t have a plan B, It only distracts from plan A”
You have to have faith in what your doing, and know your outcome before you start.
Have a great day,
Matt

That is so true Matt. Focus on the one thing you have faith in. Good stuff!

Hey Jerome
People generally put their faith in the wrong things. They put their faith in money. They put their faith in a marketing method. They put their faith in a quick money making scheme.
All of these are wrong. If they place faith in themselves, knowing that they can achieve anything they wanted to and acted upon this faith, they will have everything they want.
Great post man

Well said Dwayne. Put faith in where it needs to be and act on it. I second that!

Hey Jerome,
Great idea for a post. I believe faith is the core of everything in life. Without it, every time motivation is low, there is no determination to keep going.
I had to take a long hard look at faith a few years ago. The worst thing I ever went through was probably one of the best things that ever happened to me.
