Do Not Get Discouraged!

Staying positive is far easier said than done. I can remember days going by when my phone wouldn't ring, I got the same old junk e-mails day in and day out and couldn't even get my agents to return my calls. It was damn depressing. But the thing that kept me going was taking sort of a long view of things. Having been in similar situations, I knew this was not going to last forever, so I just needed to keep plugging away until something popped. I am lucky that I have a wonderfully supportive husband who sort of picked me up time and again. But if you don't have a spouse, seek out friends who can help you maintain some balance and pick you up when you're down.
