How many times have you read about the importance of taking action and doing something?
When I started doing online business I was completely lost on where to go. I had no idea what to do or how to do it. As I studied how others made money online I found out that there was no magic, and sure no button I could push to start my income stream. As I moved on I found out the exact steps to go, but I still did not start walking them.
I just kept on looking for more information and very soon I was a victim of information overload. I had too much information already, but still searched for more.
I do not know if it is human nature to always look for an easier way when we find out that we have to do something we consider to be hard work, but I will say that it is a major reason why people fail to start their own online business. Even if someone literally takes us by the hand to guide us the exact steps to build a business, we still keep looking for an easier way. Unfortunately that makes a lot of people give up internet marketing before they get started.
I just want to add that this is not only in internet business, unfortunately it happens too often in everyday life.
What does it take to be successful?
The key to every success is to take action and believe in what you do. I personally found out that I had to look at my routines and consider applying a regular job again if I could not see any progress. The small automated income I managed to pull in from affiliate marketing was not enough to keep me going and my life was pretty far from what I had dreamed about.
I took one week completely off my computer to think, and I am happy to tell you that I figured out a path to follow. I decided to take action and go the steps I was told to.
From this moment I cut all the newsletters I subscribed to and focused on building my own business and it did not take more than a week before I could see some results. I have to admit that I could have taken an easier path than creating my own products, but that was the way I decided to go. I took action and wrote my first report to give away for free. I also need to tell you that I was quite scared about what people would say about my report, but the feedback was great and it made me keep on writing books to sell.
That was how my success started explained the easy way, but I want you to know that this is a very common mistake for internet marketers.
Are you in the same situation that I was?
If you are in that same situation I want you to do one thing, take action and only do work that will benefit your business. I am not very proud of my first report, actually I was extremely scared to give it away in the first place. I was scared of doing something outside my comfort zone, but I did it. The great news for you is that you can do it too. Everybody can.
One thing to remember, the worst product ever still isn't made. Do not be scared of failure cause it will never happen. The worst case scenario is that you take a step in the wrong direction and have to get back on track.
Do yourself a favour, take action to gain control of your own future. Just do it.
