I do hear the stories of all those trying to break into the business of internet marketing getting “yanked” around by Gurus. I can’t say I’ve been there myself in this industry, but I’ve seen it going on, heard about it from my clients, and have experienced it at other times in my life. I do understand how frustrating it can be to want to go one way, be dragged another, and have a tug-o-war going on over who gets to yank you around.
It’s no fun and it kills enthusiasm, creativity and productivity. It kills the spirit to succeed.
So how do you shed the bit and bridle and run free?
It all starts with making a decision. Deciding on what your vision is, what you believe in and what fits in and is worth your time and effort promoting.
Next comes deciding on what your goals are, on answering the questions “what do I want?” and “why do I want it?”
Once you know what your vision is, where you can find it and why you want it, you must next have a road map, a plan, on how you’re going to get there.
A great tool to accomplish this is a checklist of what tools you need and what actions you need to take to get to where you want to be.
Once you have all that, the next step is to pursue it with all the speed, passion and vigor of a prize stallion – and be consistent about it.
What you don’t need are gangs of self-proclaiming “gurus” telling you how successful they are, how you must buy their info product that reveals some mystical “secret” to success, all fighting for your dwindling supply of money. All tugging you in different directions and probably not the way you really want do go in.
What you do need is a mentor, someone who’s achieved true success and can help guide you along and keep you motivated and on track, your track, to success. A mentor who can help you find out what the right thing for you is and encourage and support you on the way to getting it.
About the hardest thing in this industry seems to be getting started. I can supply you with that road map, that checklist of what tools you will need and what tasks you need to accomplish. I can help you to stay motivated to keep working towards your goals. You can supply the willingness to get these things done, learn how to do the things you don’t yet know how to do yet, and the willingness to put in the level of effort it takes to get from the starting stage to the dot com lifestyle stage.
