If you wake up some mornings wanting to give up on your dreams. You're not alone. There are probably  some days that it seems too hard or that you're not making any real progress. Maybe you feel too old, too young, too overweight, too shy or that you have other obstacles that will keep you from being as successful as other people.  You have to be vigilant in your efforts and take the good with the bad.

Here are four tips for staying on track:

1. Stop complaining- Don't give in to the urge to bemoan every setback or hiccup. Embrace the challenges and mistakes. Learn from them so that your next attempt is better. Complaints are problems that you want someone else to solve because you feel like a victim. Stop creating problems and start devising solutions that will help put you closer to your goal so that you can be victorious!

2. Stop criticizing- Complaints and criticism usually go hand and hand.  We are our own worst critics. Focus on all the amazing things about yourself and when you look in the mirror empower yourself by saying, "I am capable of greatness!" People who feel empowered usually go on to empower and inspire others instead of inviting negativity.

3. Stop comparing- There is only ONE you. Period. There is only ONE Beyoncé. One Oprah. One Random Sally Doe who has 110,000 followers on Instagram. And on and on. It's one thing to allow these people to inspire you to be YOUR best but emulating them or comparing your journey to theirs is a surefire way to destroy your own self worth. What makes YOU special? Focus all your energy on being the best version of yourself. When you're happy with yourself and love yourself unconditionally, you become unstoppable!

4.  Stay consistent- It's not what you do once and a while that makes the difference it's what you do ALL THE TIME.  Establish solid routines and block out the noise and distractions. You can't expect instant results when you've only been working at something for a few days.  It will take longer than a few days, possibly more than a few weeks or months. You have to ask yourself the following questions: Am I willing to WORK for it? Am I willing to WAIT for it? And if your answer is yes to both questions, then keep plugging along and before you know it- those consistent small steps with get you to your destination.

If you are a business owner or aspiring entrepreneur you definitely need a website if you want to take your business to the next level.  Here are three reasons you need a website:

1. To gain credibility- We live in the digital age and the majority of your customers will ask for your web address, so that they can see what you have to offer and determine whether or not they feel you are a legitimate business. You want to be able to direct them to your online presence.

2. To showcase products and services- Regardless to whether or not you sell a tangible product or teach classes or offer professional services, your website can house all of this information as well as your portfolio and client testimonials. It's a good place to direct potential customers who are not familiar with what you have to offer and existing clients who want to know when you add new products or services.

3. It's always accessible- Because the Internet never closes your website is always available. You can literally make sales while you sleep. You can also have a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on your site so that you don't have to spend time answering emails or phone inquiries about your products or services.

Setting up a website for your business is more affordable than you think and you can't afford NOT to have a website.
