Whether you are a regular reader of our blog or just finding us the first time…pay special attention to what is written here today. 

The information is both heartfelt and 110% impactful for the hundreds of coaching clients we’ve personally assisted over the last few years…and no matter what internet business you are attempting to build, this message applies to YOU.

HOW TO GUARANTEE YOUR SUCCESS…OR FAILURE

There is only one way to fail in your quest to develop a strong second stream of income by starting your own money making internet business – that is…to never get it started!

Through our tens of thousands of subscribers, thousands of emails, tons of teleseminar attendees, hundreds of personal coaching customers and growing membership over at InfoMarketer’sZone, the most common sign that someone is heading toward IMMINENT failure is this one…

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO…!

Have you ever said that – either out loud or quietly to yourself?

How about, I’m confused or I can’t get started because….or I have information overload? 

In each case these are EXCUSES that will lead to absolute failure – with absolutely zero chance of succeeding. 

CULTIVATING  A SUCCESS MINDSET

What will make 2009 an incredible year where you will begin to make money online with your own internet business is to…

1. Know you WILL succeed and that what you are doing today is the first step on that journey to more money, greater control over your finances and life and a step toward a level of happiness and fulfillment that you may have forgotten was possible

2. Take constant and consistent action.

Will you hit obstacles – absolutely, but there is ALWAYS away to work around or through an obstacle

Will you hit dead-ends – probably, but know that what you accomplish and learn from taking any action will lead to improved actions in the future – you learn from mistakes, you re-use what you have done to earn greater profits in the future. 

A successful, money-making internet business is the culmination of an ongoing committment to taking action, learning, adjusting, overcoming setbacks and constant improvement. 

YOU MAY BE JUST ONE STEP AWAY

So often I have someone come to me within InfoMarketer’sZone with a product idea, half-finished info product or existing ebook or information product ready to completely give up on their dreams and plans…fed up, frustrated – heading headlong into a failure mindset. 

First, the issue is once again believing they are not heading down the wrong path, but simply are finding their way to the end goal – they are following the necessary steps on the path to HUGE success.

Let me ask you this, if you knew that you had to try 5 times to make money online over a 2-4 month period after which you were virtually guaranteed to be on your way to earning a 6-figure or even 7-figure income online, would you do it?

Let me give you a few concrete examples…

1. One woman came to us with 3 info products she had created in her niche market – an aspect of relationship coaching she had practiced for years.  She was convinced that her niche market was not responsive and that she had to give up and start entirely again.  Within a few days we helped her re-position her info products based on the systems we outline in InfoMarketer’sZone to create a profile of your customer and within the next year she went on to entirely transform her service-based business to a leveraged info product marketing business. 

2. Another great story occurred when a “serial dreamer” came to us asking desparately to help him turn just one of the many ideas he had rolling around in his head into a product that was actually making money online.  This person had been in “dream” mode for almost 4-years, never taking action on his ideas.  When he discovered that he could start with a simple report or mini-ebook as we explain in our InfoProduct Marketer’s Private Site...he had his first product finished within 7-days!  Turns out the prospect of sitting down and writing 150-pages of content was totally overwhelming to him placing him in a constant state of paralysis – remember, inaction is the only way to fail.  Within 2-weeks we had him up and running his own info product business, seeing initial sales drove him to develop additional products and services and now he makes a living with his online businesses. 

Well, the law of averages shows that most people will try between 3-5 times, then really figure out the ropes to making profit with their own internet business – yes there are some that get it on the first or second try and there are those that need to try 7 or 8 times, but they are the exception to the rule. 

So, instead of thinking “I’ve only got one chance at this and if I fail that’s it – this business just doesn’t work or it isn’t for me”…change that thinking to “I’m going to take ACTION and will probably not reach my ultimate goal the first time, but will learn valuable lessons on exactly how I can improve to ultimately reach my internet business goals.”

The only difference between your current results with your online business and someone who is sitting atop their market, earning 7-figure income from their internet marketing business is that they took ACTION – and not just once, but continued to take action for the days, weeks and even months it took them to figure out a winning formula.

Now, with sites like InfoMarketer’sZone you can certainly get a head-start on systems that are proven winners with tools that have already been developed for you to use and ongoing support to help you work through the obstacles and questions as they arise – but ultimately, it’s up to you to take ACTION based on having the Success Mindset. 

Here’s a terrific Tony Robbins quote from Personal Power – “If you let your learning lead to knowledge, you become a fool.  If you let your learning lead to ACTION, you become wealthy”  – if you are spending your time trying to “learn” THE best way to make money online, to market information or to improve your life in other ways, then you will be disappointed – BUT if you turn that learned information into action you will be rewarded. 

Here’s a great way to get started…make your first ACTION placing a comment to this blog posting.

What should you put in your comment?

  • A question you need to have answered to move ahead
  • A declaration of what action you will take consistently – starting right away – to get things rolling
  • An example of how good things happened when you have taken action in the past
  • Areas of your life you are transitioning into an ACTION mindset
  • Examples of excuses that you may have used to put-off taking action in the past, so others can recognize those and avoid them
  • Anything else you can think of that will get you taking action toward your dreams and goals

Taking action is infectious – so go ahead and leave a comment and we’ll make that step 1 on becoming more Action Oriented right now.
