Regina asks me about “throwing in the towel”
Alright it’s time I got back to Regina on her latest question in our CBC (cross blog conversation). If you have missed out on it you can begin by reading our first post here.
“Have you ever had moments where you just wanted to throw in the towel and forget this online business stuff? If so, who or what kept you from making the decision to hang it all up and why?”
Regina,
This is a great question and of course it is so relevant to me I have definitely wanted to “throw in the towel” . I have been trying my hand at online business part time on and off since January 2005. I came home full time in January of this year (2007) to give this my full attention. My main goal was to grow my ministry, Beauty by Design Ministries, however this was not bringing in any income. And to be honest, I have always felt a little uneasy about making money from my ministry. I know, this isn’t something that I should feel guilty about but for some reason I always have.
So, as I have gone through these past 2-3 years I have always thought, “will this ever work”. However, I was determined that I was going to “work from home”. That and being my own boss was just something I have always wanted to do. So, even though I have “felt” like throwing in the towel, luckily I never have completely. And luckily, thanks to the ladies of Mom Masterminds, including the guru herself, Kelly McCausey and many other ladies over there I am still plugging along. And, thanks to this ghostwriting business I am feeling victorious in this “online business thing”. These ladies have truly made me see the potential of online businesses and have given me the tools I need to succeed.
Now, for a question for you Regina, “What has been your best investment for your business?”

Alyssa you sound like me about 12 years ago. I had young toddlers at home and I so wanted to work for myself. I continued to work FT because we had just purchased a new home and I tend to panic about things!
I think you have the drive, knowledge, skill and definitely the ‘get-go’ to be “victorious” at your online business goals!
