Monday’s Tip for the Week: If you find that the going is getting tough
and you want to quit look to the wisdom of those that have found success ahead
of you and learn to stay in there.
Blogging is a tough business. Having any type of online business is
exceptionally hard. Many people don’t
give what it takes to stay in there for the long haul and they quit. In fact 97% of all bloggers quit within one

successful. The following are 70 quotes
