This One Mistake Cost Me $3000 This Year

I just got done posting What Drug Dealers Teach Us About Internet Marketing

And after I hit submit I realized something. If there is one thing you will learn very quckly in internet marketing is that hope is not a viable marketing plan. I can not over state this one point.

Hope is not an action plan.

I spent around $3000 this year on my internet marketing training because I hoped that the next shiny tool, software, or piece of advice would do half of what it promised. That is a lot of hoping.

But what I learned, and it cost me some money to learn it, is that HOPE is not an action plan. Hope does not put money in your pocket, hope does not pay a bill, hope does not get you from here to their.

Now I have been on the streets, dealt and done drugs, and everything between. I know what it means to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. I have sat in AA meetings and everything else. I know that hope heals and causes people to carry on. BUT IT IS NOT A ACTION PLAN

You can not be...

Hoping that you make a sale
hoping that you get rich
hoping that somehow you will make it
hoping you make enough to pay a bill
hoping you make enough to quit your job
hope~hope~hope

THAT Is not a plan...

What you need to answer is...

How many articles are you writing
How many backlinks are you generating
How many affiliates are you promoting
How many days a week are you working your plan
How many products are you creating

In other words quit hoping that this is going to work out and start needing this to work out. Those who make it in a larger majority are those who need for it to work out.
