How many of these are working against your success?

1.    “I’m a failure” -  Many people simply can’t handle failure.
Successful Internet marketers call the failure process “testing”.  Failing is part of the game…get used to it and learn from those failures.

2.    Too many of you get stuck on trying one thing. The chances of that one thing working are pretty small…I don’t care what it is…the odds are against that idea of working. I don’t mean to have ten things going at once, but you need more than just one. This is especially true in the early stages when you are still finding what you are best at.

3.    You aren’t able to devote the time needed to succeed (and it takes a LOT of time) because you haven’t succeeded at getting your spouse to “buy in” to the idea. You NEED your spouse on your side while you are trying to build your business…trust me on this one.

4.    Are you unorganized? Do you waste precious time finding lost passwords or trying to remember where you saved something? Take stock of your organizational skills and fix the problems if there are some.

5.    Many of you think you can simply “Buy” your way to success. It can’t be done. There isn’t a product out there which will make you successful…not one. There are products which can guide and teach you, but in the end it is you who must put all the pieces together.

6.    Are you handicapping yourself because you think you can’t learn how to build simple and effective web pages? Or you think you don’t have enough time to learn such basic skills. If either of these is really true, than Internet marketing success in general will be a very long road for you.

7.    Many of you tell me a friend or relative says getting ranked well in Google costs a lot of money…or some other nonsense like that. You believe them because of who they are…not because of what they know about Internet marketing. Be careful of such well-wishers’ advice.

8.    Do you think building a list is something you’ll start doing after you are successful? Stop whatever else you are doing right now! Put a list building strategy in place today! Even if you don’t see a way to use a list yet, you will.

9.    For some reason, I hear many of you say you don’t want to sell anything of your own. You only want to promote affiliate products, etc. That’s OK, but you may be putting blinders on to fantastic opportunities around you. Are you really telling me that you wouldn’t sell anything of your own even if it meant spectacular success? I don’t think so. Keep your mind open to all possibilities!

10.    The TOP reason for failure is spending FAR too much time early on trying to make a few bucks here and there. This wastes time which could be spent learning the basic skills and concepts of Internet marketing for future success. Look at the big picture. Don’t get sidetracked on such short sightedness. If you hope to be very successful a year from now, you won’t reach that success by putting too much effort into make-a-profit-today schemes.

Be honest with yourself as you read these again. Recognize where you might improve. Remember, Relentless Focused Action will guarantee your success!
