Observations
of Internet 'Sheep'
Commitment, consistency and continuity are the keywords that describe this though-provoking article by Dave Reno. Gone is the notion that an Internet Business is easy - far from it! It takes as much work and effort as if you have invested thousands in a traditional off-line business. Sacrifice is the root to a successful business, whether off or on-line. In order to reach our goals we have to sacrifice TV time, some leisure time and plenty or wasting time. Focus, routine, initiative and a real urge to succeed will yield the results.

by Dave Reno ================================ I have been watching what I am going to relate to you below for over 5 years now. It amazes me that this situation seems to be getting worse instead of better! People come to me looking
for help in starting their internet business. They jump right in and follow
my advice for oh a good 30-45 days and then they QUIT! Yet these same people
will work 35-50 years at the
WHY can't they dedicated themselves to their new business like they do their J O B?? Or worse yet, they join EVERY out and out SCAM, Con Job, Money Game, and Ponzi Scheme they can find. And then they will come to
me, or write, telling me ALL of the internet is a SCAM! They try and blame
me and anyone else who has had a modicum of success online when they fail,
yet you ask these
Folks NOTHING you do in life is EASY the first time or twenty that you do it! It starts at childhood. You probably don't remember this, but I am willing to bet it was HARD to get through your 'potty' training! It was HARD learning how to drink from a cup without spilling it all over you! It was HARD learning how to stay upright on your bicycle AFTER the training wheels came off! If you were lucky enough to have those! ;-D It was HARD learning how to write your name legibly! It was HARD learning how to tie those blasted shoelaces! Do you see a pattern developing here? So the question that begs to be asked here is...WHY do you think your foray into internet marketing should be EASY? From where I sit MOST of you think it's EASY! You constantly chase those 'magic bean' programs as I like to call them. You know in your heart that just by joining these programs you're NOT going to get 'rich'. Although you hold out hope...because the ad you saw said you would be RICH beyond your wildest dreams in 2 weeks, and you know at the time it MUST be TRUE... because there was a picture of a guy standing next to his Lamborghini on the website! Or you join some program because of all the 'spillover' you're going to get! Folks, remember this phrase and remember it well! Do NOT wait for spillover, learn your craft and develop the skills necessary to CREATE spillover! But alas, MOST of you reading this will NOT take the time to learn this craft of internet marketing, because it is HARD! It is HARD to turn the TV off and concentrate on learning the skills needed to be a success! It is HARD to not go down to the bar for a cold one with the guys, when you should be in front of your computer learning EVERYTHING you can about our industry! It is HARD developing your OWN opt-in list to communicate and develop relationships with your readers! It is HARD to learn how to design a professional looking website! It is HARD learning the skills necessary to do your due diligence in investigating companies BEFORE you join them! It is HARD to actually write out a business plan! Harder still to devote 2-5 years in building your business! Even though this is what EVERYONE must do, to have a chance at being successful! No it's much easier to keep chasing those 'magic beans', or buying the CD with the 15 MILLION email addresses on them, easier still to lose your ISP when you're accused 15 MILLION times of being a spammer! Or easier still to BLAST your ad to 97 GOZILLION sites for FREE and sit back and watch the money roll in! I hope you have alot of time on your hands if you're waiting on that one to pay off! ;-D Well if you've read this far, the first thing I want to do is thank you! I do tend to ramble I know! ;-D My point to all this is, EVERYTHING you do in life is HARD...in the beginning! But as you keep practicing and learning, things start to become EASY! As you see some actual successes...i.e. checks start arriving in the mail, this internet marketing 'thing' will even start to become FUN! Getting to the point of having ALOT of this FUN...is what we're all truly after isn't it? ==================================================
