Online Business: Keep going when the going gets tough

Copyright 2005 David Lumsden

Let's be honest, most of us have started out on a new enterprise on a wave of enthusiasm. This is it! This time success is 'Guaranteed'. We tell our friends 'I have found it, this time the work put in will be rewarded in spades. Failure is impossible'.

Unfortunately, they have heard it all before. But you are undaunted by their scepticism, this time it will be different. How come? And I ask the question seriously, how come?

Have you changed? Have you really found the best of all systems? Is failure really impossible? Has it been laid out in such a way there are no blocks, no knock backs, no doubts, no 'non-understandings' and no possible problems.

If the answer is 'Yes' to all the above, there is a chance (your chance) that you could succeed. The biggest 'Yes' though has to apply to you, have you changed?

If you are prepared to put in the work, regardless of the obstructions placed in your path, then you have changed. Most of us give up as the road to riches turns into a hopeless climb up an icy mountain pass. Me too.

I have tried many paths, trod many a thorny track and until recently, found the going just too tough. There was always something wrong with the program, the instructions became vague, the necessary knowledge evaded me, my time became compressed, I'll do that bit later …….. Never. It wasn't my fault, I really did try, but I now believe the program was not good enough.

Maybe, but in truth I wasn't good enough. I did try, I was willing, keen to complete the program, but the obstacles became too big, too impossible to overcome.

I failed. And it was that admission that I had failed, that became my first tentative step forward. I looked at myself, told myself that others had succeeded and with the new me, why shouldn't I?

What I needed was a program that showed success at the end of it. An end target. I thought a target of $5000 a month not unreasonable. (Of course you have guessed that I will push you at an online opportunity at the end of this soul-bearing article).

For the person who sets up an online website for you if you go ahead and try what I tried earns $0000's upon $0000s each and every month. I thought if he can do it and then guide me on how to succeed, it was worth a try.

Actually 'try' is too small a word. The changed me had decided that whatever obstacles were thrown at me I would succeed. The tough would be ironed out, the difficult de-fused and the downright impossible would be overcome.

You certainly don't have to try the site shown at the end of the article, if you do that helps me and I can in turn help you. No, the reason for the article is to tell you to set yourself a goal, give it your all and accept no submission.

Whatever you do all I ask is that you remember this. Every question that you raise as you thread your way with your online business HAS AN ANSWER. Failure is no longer an option open to you.

Not long ago, I didn't know ANYTHING about Internet marketing... However, within just 2 weeks, I launched my own website AND learned how to profit from an opt-in list, pull in sales with ezines, make money with Google Adwords and setup my own BLOG!
