How to ensure online success
The topic of this email is Mindset Vs Method...
Here's the thing: Everyone looking to make money online, maybe even you included, wants to know the METHOD...
They want to know the 'secrets' that are being kept from them, the down and dirty techniques that the Guru's or people who are doing well use to get the job of making money online done.
They want the techniques in other words.
Here's the bad news: For most people, and yes I say MOST people, I could hand them the techniques on a silver platter... tell them exactly what to do every step of the way in order to make however much money they wanted, and they WOULD'T make a dime...
I could give them the right key, sit them down in front of the right door and they wouldn't go into the room...
You might think this is weird and hard to believe but it's the blatant truth.
The truth is that there are two things you need to be successful at anything. They are the right Mindset and the right Method. If you have one but not the other you will soon fail.
You can know the right techniques, know exactly what to do but without the right attitude toward your pursuit, you won't even get close.
If you have the right attitude but not the right method...Well that's a little better and if you're attitude is really right you'll sooner or later work out the right method, but you'll take a heck of a long time to do it.
Anyway...
How do I know this? Because I've helped countless people to make money online through my products and my forum. I've seen the best and the worst of them, the ones who've succeeded and the ones who've failed.
I've had people who I will personally coach, have them ask me 10 questions a day every day, so they know EXACTLY the right method, from the ground up - then they put their first niche site up, give it 4 weeks and when it doesn't make a sale they give up and say the method doesn't work and it's not for them!
Are you kidding me!?!? It took me 12 months of playing around online night and day before I started earning a full time income. And most people tell me they've messed around more than that! I tried probably 30 different methods, failed more times than you could imagine. I seriously stuffed it up in as many ways as is possible - the most memorable of which I saw my adsense income go from zero a day to $100 a day within a week - real good work!
Why did I 'make it'?
Because I had the mindset! My passion is personal development, I've been reading success material since I was 15 years old and while I have SO FEW skills, one thing I have is a desire to succeed as strong as anyone you could meet.
Point is:
STOP looking for the right method! Just stop it! Chances are even if you find it:
1. You won't recognize it unless you get results from it in the first week - ie you WON'T recognize it fullstop.
and 2. If you do recognize it you won't make it work because you will sabotage yourself because your mind isn't right. You'll give up too soon, you'll subconciously reject the money if you do make it, or you'll find some other way to generally screw it up!
How about that for some sobering truth.
What should you do instead?
Keep improving your SELF! One thing I've learnt is that when you're running a business, particularly from home, by yourself, with YOU as the main employee, you ARE the business!
The quality of YOU is the quality of the business and if you have negative beliefs about money, bad associations, fear of failure or any other kind of negative patterns, good luck trying to make this stuff work.
So what can you do about all this?
Forget the frickin techniques for a moment and start investing in yourself!
Go read some books! Hit up amazon.com and get your hands on some of the greats if you haven't read them, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, Awaken The Giant Within - Heck why not hit up Steve Pavlina'sblog: this guy's a personal development machine and you can learn alot from him: www.stevepavlina.com/blog
ANY material geared toward self discovery and self growth... it's not just a help, it's VITAL to your success.
Only when your mind and attitude is right and ready will you start making the kind of money you deserve, that's all there is to it, plain and simple.
I hope this message gets you angry: Maybe even angry enough to challenge me and DO something about it. You can ignore the sentiments here if you want but whether you realise and believe them or not, they will go on affecting you.
As always, thanks for reading and I wish you great success.
