Are you a quitter?
When I sent my last newsletter I had a subscriber who unsubscribed
with those words "nothing personal just fed up with IM".
Unfortunately some people get discouraged and just give up. What
could prevent YOU to get so disheartened?
Internet marketing is not what I would call easy, because if it
were, everybody would be doing it and making tons of money. However,
it is simple and unlike any other kind of business, it doesn't even
require money to start.
Why do I say that is it simple?
Because it is, really! Here are the simple steps that you need to
take. 1) Pick a product. 2) Create a page that talks about your
product with links to it. 3) Write articles about your products that
you distribute to as many directories as you can.
That is simple isn't it?
While it is simple it is not easy, however. The reason is because
people get distracted. I know it is so easy to get distracted.
We all do it, I do it myself. However, you need to know that
distraction is the number one enemy of success.
Successful marketers are people who have learned to FOCUS and
PERSIST in their internet business.
Focus and persistence are keys for success.
What could help you to focus? Discipline! A long time ago a great
mentor of mine has taught me a method that he was using.
Do you know how we reward ourselves when we have accomplished a
goal? Well, in order to make sure that he was going to do his
maximum to accomplish his goals he would give himself a "punishment"
if he didn't. He would make himself do something he hated.

For example, once he promised himself to give some money to the
opposite political party if he had not accomplished what he wanted
to accomplish. He said that those self inflicted "hardship" worked
great to force him to focus and to get the right amount of
discipline that he needed in order to accomplish his goals.
Next time you feel that you are lacking focus and the needed
discipline to reach your goal, what don't you try to make yourself
do something you hate? Believe me it really works.
Don't be a quitter. Remember, Focus and discipline will get you
where you want to get.
