What do you do when things aren’t going your way? It can be pretty discouraging. However, the sad truth is that many give up at this point and never actually go on to fulfil or accomplish what they were more than capable of achieving. It’s all well and good, listening, reading or being inspired by another’s success story, but unless it actually results in a positive change in your life, it’s futile. What do you do when things aren’t going your way? We put together a few things that we think may be helpful.

Stay Positive

Be positive. It may be difficult, if things aren’t going well, but your mind-set is everything. We put out our post on our Facebook account (are you connected with us) a few weeks ago, asking a simple question; what do you see? A perception of a thing has the power to change that thing.

Focus on what is going right

Although it may appear like everything is going wrong at one time, focus on what’s going right for you. This will help you with point one and possibly give you the confidence boost you’re looking for.

Surround yourself with people who believe in you and what you’re doing

In case points 1 and 2 totally fail, it is always good to have at least one person who believes in you and will encourage you to keep going. Most successful people have a great team around them; get yourself a few people who totally believe in the vision and won’t bow out at a hurdle.

Take a Break

Sometimes a break can help you get the perspective you need. Recharge your batteries and then go again.

Take Stock

Take an account of what is working and what isn’t to avoid the same issues arising again.

Don’t give up

Once you have a figured out what’s going wrong, it may mean a change in approach…don’t give up though, keep going.
