Today I’m having a real down day so my video isn’t very inspirational.  So anyone that is looking for inspiration or someone to help keep them motivated then you probably shouldn’t watch it.

For those who don’t like to watch videos, here is what I talk about in the video.

In the video I discuss how I’m just feeling quite down today and have been for a few days.  After a few years of trying to make money online I am ready to give up.  I was doing ok last year with site flipping and at one stage was earning $1000 a week, but that slowed down and it is much more difficult to get a decent price for websites now.

I want this blog to be inspirational and be able to help others succeed online and I am struggling because I’m not able to do that at the moment.  I see people on Warrior forum with links in their signatures to products saying ‘learn how I made $4000 in 7 days’ or ridiculous claims like that.  Then these same people start threads saying how desperate they are to make money and they are ready to give up.  And you think to yourself if they are desperate and not making money then why are they selling a product that claims they make $4000 in 7 days???   And I don’t want to be one of those people so I won’t tell you how to make money if I’m not doing it myself.

Last year we bought an investment property and at the time it was all ok as the interest rates were low.  We have a good tenant living there and all was good, until the interest rates started going up and up and up and up.  The rent we receive doesn’t cover the mortgage payments and the amount we pay has gradually gotten more and more and that along with our own mortgage is getting really hard to keep up with.

I have tried looking for a real job and am even struggling with that.  I haven’t worked for almost 13 years because I left work to have children, something that I wanted to do – stay home with my children and I don’t regret that for a second.  Prior to that I had 12 years experience working in admin and accounts roles.  But now that I’m looking for a job I struggle to even get to interview stage and the interviews I have had they end up telling me they gave the job to someone that has had experience over the last few years.  So although I have 12 years of experience, because I haven’t worked for 13 years I am put back in the ‘no experience’ basket.

I really would prefer to keep doing online work, but to do that I really need to start making a lot more money.  I really want my plr business to work, but I’m struggling to keep motivated to write the articles and reports to add to my site.

Lastly in the video I talk about my fears and lack of confidence.  Something that Tiffany Dow had a video about the other day and asked everyone to give their fears and many of them were quite similar and many of them were basically lacking confidence.  I do lack a lot of confidence and have a fear of rejection and a fear of not being good enough.  I would love to overcome that fear but it’s something I’ve had all my life so I can’t see it changing any time soon – and I know it wont with that attitude but I’ve tried before to change it.  I wish I could.  One fear is doing the videos because I think I look and sound stupid, but I’m going to keep doing them to try and overcome it.

Anyway, that’s about it for today – thanks for reading/watching.

Take care
