The BIGGEST breakthrough...

Hey guys,

I just wanted to share this story with you... especially for anyone either just starting out or has been doing this for some time, and haven't received the success they've wanted...

I have had my FIRST major breakthrough in my IM career this past week... and I have been doing this since 2008!

Yes, that's right, I have been at this thing for going on 8 years now, and I've JUST had my major breakthrough...

But, before I get into that, please allow me to explain how I've got here real quick...

First off, I'm guilty as the next guy trying to earn a living online, and jumping on all the next best methods, tools, etc.

But, after years of doing this, I have gotten wiser and began to adopt a simple mentality of "think hard before doing". Once I adopted this mentality, I stopped jumping on every new thing that came out without thinking.

Now, I make cautious educated decisions before making investments... and most of my investments these days are tools to help me grow... NOT another "how I got rich from XYZ product".

But, I still didn't reach any level of success worth being proud of... and that's because of one embarrassing flaw...

Laziness.

I "thought" I was taking action by going on some webinar, or reading some guide, or writing a quick article, or making a quick video, etc. But I never stayed consistent, I didn't do careful research, and more critically, I thought just working a couple of hours a day was enough.

That age old saying of "you get what you put in" was very prevalent in my life!

Now onto the breakthrough...

I was approached with an opportunity a couple of months ago by a prolific internet marketer to partner up with a product. With this product, my job was to create the product, his job was to promote it.

Once the product launched, it went okay, not great, but okay...

But that's not the breakthrough...

So I can keep up with what was going on with sales, customer service requests, etc., I forwarded emails from my Paypal email address to a Gmail account. I then made sure the Google Chrome app "Checker Plus for Gmail" was active. This app sends a notification to your desktop along with a beeping sound every time you get an email. I also activated a Gmail app on my iPhone.

Once the product launched, I received a constant flow of notifications to my Gmail account and iPhone...

I of course felt great this was happening, but that WAS NOT THE BREAKTHROUGH...

The breakthrough occurred when those notifications slowed down... DRAMATICALLY!

Something came over me that has never happened once this occurred...

I panicked... I became obsessed with finding out why it slowed down...

And then I noticed something...

I noticed a change in me...

I became obsessed...

Obsessed with getting those notifications showing up again...

Next thing you know, I'm working harder than I EVER have!

I've created 2 sales pages, an affiliate page, came up with a new product idea, hired a writer for to assist with the new product, rewrote an old sales page, and more! And this was just in the past THREE DAYS!

For some of you successful veterans, this level of work is second nature to you, but for me, and I'm sure many others, this is something that was just not in us.

My mindset has been shifted.

I have been putting in EXTREME action in order to get those Paypal notifications popping back up, and for some reason, I'm not getting burned out?!

The moral of this story is to find your motivation... through action. In other words, take action, even it is small. Something may occur through or from your course of action that motivates you, inspires you, and gets you ADDICTED! Once you discover it, keep feeding the addiction until you reach your goals.

I have not reached my goals... yet. But, honestly, the fact that I have had a DRAMATIC shift in work ethic, that is enough to keep my motivated. And that's because, hard work will always pay off... it may be sooner... it may be later... but it will always pay off.

Good luck, stay focused, and stay positive.
