Write Yourself An Excuse Letter
I do hate using the word failure, but what is my excuse for failure. The simply fact is, in my mind is there isn’t one, I have no excuses and I have no failures. I may have some opinions on why I am not getting the results I desire and I may have many setbacks that normally I learn something from, which in turn helps my progress. If you think you are failing and you can come up with many excuses as to why you are avioding success, then why not write an excuse letter to yourself and see how easy it is to avoid taking action.
So what are your excuses for why you think you are failing to make any money online, do you moan about how you cannot make the money that you see others eager to tell everyone about. Do you only focus on the fact that you are not seeing any results or do you carry on regardless, with the knowing that all that you are doing online will serve to get the results you want long term.
I am constantly building on what I learn everyday online, I accept that this is what I will always do now, I love working online and I know my success will grow and grow as time moves on. I would love to have a million visitors to all my sites every month, how great would that be, but I am no where near that figure. Why have I not got a million visitors to my sites every month, do I have an excuse for that, do I need to analyse the reason why, is it something that I am doing wrong and until I change what I am doing it will never happen.
I believe that I will have a million visitors to my sites every month, I don’t know when and I don’t know how, but I could spend my time searching and beating myself up as to why it is not happening, that would be a lot of time wasted. Instead I carry on working my business through implementing what I have learned on my Internet journey so far, yes I still always spend some time looking for new ways to bring in more traffic, but I know that I will continue to learn new ways of doing many things online that will benefit my business.
Some of the guys that I look up to and aspire to be like in terms of Internet success such as JeremySchoemaker, Darren Rowse, Yaro Starak and John Chow all have far more traffic than me and all make far more money than me, but they did not make money overnight, they all started at the beginning and they have all worked hard for their success. I don’t think any of them run at a million visitors per month, I think Darren Rowse is the closest to this figure (although I wouldn’t swear to that), so you may be wondering how the hell I will ever reach that figure or why I think I ever could if these guys are not running at that figure.
The way I look at it, is just because these guys, who I admire, are at a certain level, this does not mean I have to restrict my level to less than theirs or even level with theirs, no I intend to pass them, I don’t just want to be as good as them, I want to be better. I am sure they would all have a giggle at the fact that I think I could pass their level of success, but they would also know that it would always be a possibility. There are no limits on what any of us can achieve and just because I want a higher level of success than these guys, it does not mean that I think that I am better than them or that I think I can do a better job than they can, all it means is I have ambition and I aspire to compete with the best in my business.
I know I have a long way to go, but however long it takes me and however many setbacks I have (these are what some people refer to as failures), I know I am capable of that level of success and I know that I will achieve it. If I set a goal of 2 years for this level of success and I do not reach it in that time, there will be no excuses as to why I haven’t and I would not have failed, I may assess some of my methods, but ultimately I will continue to work towards my goal with the knowing that I will achieve it.
So whether you are thinking of setting up an online business or you have been working online for a year or so, forget these two things that will only stand in your way of success and slow you down or even stop you altogether, forget the excuses, there are none and forget that word failure, scrub it from your mind, it does not exist, there are only setbacks that will more often that not teach you valuable lessons that you would not have learned if it were not for those little setbacks.
Think of only achieving your dreams, find several people in your field who inspire you, people that you can see are doing a great job and don’t be afraid to want to surpass their success. You are capable of achieving anything that you put your mind to, focus only on achieving your dreams, success is yours if you want it, success is yours if you believe you can have it and success is yours when you take action to get it.
How is your progress online, are you achieving what you want, may be you feel that you keep hitting a brick wall or may be you are flying high, why not share your online experience with the nearly one million readers that I do have (Ha Ha) by leaving a comment below, any story will be well worth hearing. Most of all though keep working and keep succeeding.
