Few days ago I was reading a text message from a friend and a business partner. As you can see by now, most of my good friends are my business partners. Nothing is more fun then building an empire with your loved ones!
Okay, now back to my story... the message said something like, I have a business partner who wants to quit or a bit shaky and I need your help to give my business partner some confidence to continue...
I sat for a while looking at that message and my mind travelled far to somewhere 2 years ago...
Exactly 2 years ago, I had a good friend and a business partner who was challenged at that time with lack of results and that made my friend question the business and came to me for clarification or can say some direction...
At that point, I didn't understand what my friend was going through and he decided to quit his business and I allowed him to do that... or even maybe, I provoked him to quit.
Today when I saw this message I understood something, quitting is not an option in the journey of success! I allowed my good friend to quit.
I came this far because I never had an option of quitting. There was a time in my first year building my empire, I broke down and gave up. I sat in my office with a senior business partner of mine crying and saying that this will not work for me and he being my senior, he said I have 100 things that I need to change before I can become successful. It was so difficult even to imagine I was going to make it. Being a woman, I just cried... at that moment a much elderly man and a very successful person saw me weeping, came to me and told my senior partner, leave this girl to me... he took me for a coffee and he said, "girl look at you, you graduated from an engineering school, you are talented, you look good and how could you not make it in business? Be like the lotus flower, elevate yourself from the rest and the bees will look for you! Quitting is not an option!".
That day I understood, quitting is not my option!
2 years ago I made a terrible mistake by allowing someone else to quit. To my friend, please find a place in your heart to forgive me... this will not repeat!
To the rest, Quitting is not an OPTION!
Live Your Best Life

So true! The only way to succeed is to really decide that there is no other way but to make it work! Napoleon Hill (wrote the famous book Think and Grow Rich) says we need to burn the bridges behind us to succeed!
On that same token, my recent blog I also mentioned that in not quitting we are constantly finding our balance in making it work. Don't quit and you will find your balance!
I am love all this!!
