Why Some People Will NEVER Succeed, No Matter How Hard They
Author : Lee Benson
After being an online marketer for over four years,
the truth FINALLY hit me. I'd absorbed so much hype,
so many worthless marketing strategies and worst of all,
I'd seen and heard WAY too many failures to count, that
the powerful thought of realization conjured in my mind.
I had what alcoholics would refer to as a "moment of
clarity". And at the risk of sound enthralling, my
"Internet Business Enlightenment" hit me like a brick.
What had happened?
My business buddies had come and gone in their bucket
loads. My trusted friends who once spoke with raving
ambition in their voices had died from the scene and
left me with nothing more than the memories of the
hopes and ambitions that had once powered their aura.
Metaphorically, the Internet appeared in my mind like
a ghost town. The houses, that once provided shelter
for the world's most motivated ambitions, had now
been boarded up and a "For Sale" sign hangs outside.
In literal terms, I'd seen my "best net friends" drop
from my ICQ contact list like flies. I was suddenly
noticing returned mail errors when I tried to contact
my business mates by email, and the worst feelings came
when I received notifications of their intent to quit.
==============================================
WHAT WAS GOING ON? Why Did I Feel So Strongly?
==============================================
To put it bluntly, the ambitions that once were, died.
My most regular contacts online had quit this Internet
marketing 'lark'. Quite simply, they realized the hype.
They were sick and tired of spending endless amounts of
cash on worthless marketing techniques, wasting hours
of their life on pointless promotional junk, and getting
ripped off by the "get rich quick" nature of the 'net.
They had given Internet marketing "the finger", and in
return it had given them a bad taste that would plague
their mouth every time the phrase "make money online" was
mentioned. The worst thing is, tens of thousands of folks
that I don't even know go through the same thing EVERY year.
* And honestly, is it at all surprising? *
Every search I do for "internet marketing" churns up 100s
of worthless websites, plagued with affiliate links, bad
site design and promises of millions. The limitations of
off-line business has been removed, and so has given way
to a world of hype, scams, lies and false hope and promises.
No wonder thousands of businesses are actually LOSING money
online. It's like a mine field. Thousands walk through the
field, thousands get blown up and disappear, and only a few
people actually make it safely to the end. WAKE UP EVERYONE!
You want to know WHY I'm still here after this time, owning
a successful business that I run from the home office? Want
to know WHY I haven't joined the rat-race that I see clog up
the roads at 9am and 5pm every day? Want to know WHY I don't
quit, throw in the towel and say goodbye so all of this HYPE?
The Answers:
1. I don't listen to any of it! Although I'm NEVER skeptical
of life's possibilities, I am realistic. Sure, you CAN
become a raving success online. But why take advice from
the self-proclaimed guru's that haven't achieved it?
2. I keep a VERY open mind to my own possibilities and have
confidence in my own judgements. I know that by thinking
in a successful and positive frame of mind, I can achieve it.
3. I DRIVE myself with a burning desire of true success, and
will absolutely stick to that at all costs. My tenacity
(persistence) grows every day, I stay focused at ALL times.
4. I work like heck and learn everything I can. Over the past
few years I've learned more than my entire school education
taught me in terms of real-world practicalities and skills.
5. No matter what life throws at me, no matter how much the
circumstances can hurt, I stand up and say "I'm not affected".
I NEVER give up. I NEVER quit. I keep striving for success.
So What Will You Become?
I'm going to tell you something now that I wish I'd been told
a long time ago. Internet success doesn't come from a few search
engine submissions, worthless FFA postings and a site plagued
with affiliate links. It comes from UNIQUE ideas, with UNIQUE
creations, fueled by an over-powering ambition to SUCCEED.
You have two choices. Join the FEW who discover that the Internet
(like so many things in life) takes hard work, smart thinking and
a positive attitude for success... Or join the THOUSANDS that
follow the hype, waste time and money, and die the Internet death.
Those two paths await. Which route will YOU take?
