As silly as it may sound, many people get involved in a business (and YES you are now self-employed, and this is a business) expecting to dedicate the same time, energy, and effort into the business based on the results it yields in the beginning.  As smart as this may sound to some people, and dumb as it may sound to successful people, expecting your business to produce the results you want without putting in the effort, is as silly as expecting a fire to give you heat without first chopping the wood! You can’t expect your business to produce results without FIRST putting in the necessary time, energy, and effort into making the necessary changes in YOU, and going through the steps required in order to get the results you want.
