Summary
Do you ever find yourself questioning if you are in the right business or if you are even the right kind of person to have their own business? Does the fear of failure haunt you? Do you lack motivation? Lacking confidence? This episode gives you a few questions you should ask yourself if you find yourself in a state of doubt or low motivation. The questions are based on timeless, biblical wisdom, and I've seen these questions help many people get back on track when they feel like they've hit a mental block about their business.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Silent Sales Machine Radio. |
| 0:04.7 | This is Jim. |
| 0:05.9 | It's just me today. |
| 0:07.2 | So no video camera. |
| 0:08.5 | This is just an audio-only episode. |
| 0:11.3 | But I want to go through some questions that I think you could and should be asking yourself today. |
| 0:17.4 | And these are specifically, especially for those who find themselves in a rut, in a bit of a business rut. |
| 0:25.9 | Either you feel bored or you feel unqualified or uncertain. |
| 0:31.9 | You're just not sure if you're doing this right. |
| 0:35.0 | These are the questions that you can begin to ask yourself and to answer honestly |
| 0:39.3 | that will put you back onto a good path. Now, what qualifies me to do this? I don't have a degree in |

| 1:22.8 | some point that becomes a determination of are you going to stick with it or not. But if you're in a rut, |
| 1:29.4 | you feel stuck, you're uncertain about the next steps. This is a list of questions. I'm not going to |
| 1:34.6 | answer for you. No one can answer these questions for you. You have to answer them honestly. |
| 1:41.7 | And we're just going to work through them in no particular order. I didn't spend a lot of |
