Bye Bye Warriors

Good luck in your future ventures then. It sounds like you've made your mind up already. I hope it works out for you.

Cheers,

Newbim.

A very wise choice, and I wish you the best with it.

See you around soon
Alex.

Nice dude, good luck!!!! :-)

Cool you figured out the secret.

What an awesome epiphany!

Still you should come here when you need a question answered and just look up that specific question but dont SURF.

Ps. Good luck on staying away, thats hard for me. I love this place, but then you can always do what I did and integrate the idea of a FORUM into your biz plan... that takes a little edge off!

I know the best phrase to greet you is "Good luck". But I believe there is no luck in the world without hard work.
so...All the best !

Make sure you come back to tell your inspiring story later !

Good luck Buddy. I hope everything goes out well for you!

Good Luck.

Good luck with that. What you are doing is probably for the best. Focus is so important. You have to take action and work hard at it. Sometimes we forget that all this playing around on the internet is actually our work.

Hope it works out for you and that we hear form you again soon.

For the amount of the threads I see like this. You should request a temp ban to be lifted when you reach your desired goal.

In the meantime, I wish you the best.

Good luck for your IM Business.The next days will going to be the most Important once in your life.
Hope you will succeed.

Bye Bye Warrior...

Sounds Strange... Warriors Never Say Bye!!!

Warriors Kill!!!

Anyways, if you think, you can do it all well without having Such Warriors Around, I wouldn't bring your motivation down.

But I think, this high level of thinking must be very dangerous... - You know this could bring only two things - 1. A massive Success or 2. A massive Failure.

Lets keep those talks aside... All I wanna tell you now is Wish You All The Best!!!

The only thought of you that stated you'd be back here once you'd achieve your goal is good enough to all of us!!!

I'm sure, you'll be back here again replying... you did what you wanted!!!

do not see the sense in this, even on a work bender , head down bum up, you still need support and advice and where better will you get IM related advice than here. throwing the bathwater out with the baby stuff I'd say

If you're truly serious, and you put your nose to the grindstone and don't look up until you've accomplished what you set out to do, and don't waver in your determination...

see you next week

I wish you success. You seem very determined. Keep up that attitude even during the temporary slow spells.

With your strong attitude I have a feeling we will be seeing you return sooner than you think. A $1000 a month may be just around the corner!

good luck i think you will be succussful over time.

I will be making the same decision soon. I must quit my job december. Good luck bro.

Best of luck to you, kenomen. Hope to see you back here, sooner rather than later with your triumphant success story.

Not that you asked, but, may I recommend one of the most valuable tools I have used to help with focus and completion? Get yourself a digital timer that has seconds, minutes, hours. Radio Shack makes an affordable one that has a little clip stand. Its amazing how quickly you can train yourself to get focused and get things done with a little external reminder and support.

Schedule your work session in advance. Before you start, block out a specific chunk of time to work, let's say an hour. Break your bigger jobs down into manageable tasks requiring no more than 20 min each to complete. In the beginning, it helps to start with even shorter time periods until you improve your ability to focus. Decide in advance exactly what you want to accomplish during that time.

Divide that hour into mini work sessions and one break of 5 or so minutes. At the end of an hour, you will find that you have 3-4 tasks completed. It may take some practice, but its rewarding to see yourself making progress bit by bit. Hope that's useful to you or someone else that happens by. Cheers! -CP

I'm glad you finally see the light! It's not about the latest shiny new system or what you know, all of that is useless if you don't apply it and take really massive action (lots of smart but broke people out there!) The majority of people stop short of that and probably only devise a grand plan to make money, but without focus and taking that massive action then they're nothing more than pipe dreams in your head!

You have the right idea.

I don't spend much time here because I am busy running my business. However I would never stay away. This forum is full of gold. I come in every few days to look around and post when I see something interesting or can help someone.

I spend usually around 1 day a week here. It is a good idea to nip back in, otherwise your strategies will become outdated.

$1,000 a month. Ha! See you next week. I hope.

George Wright

So we will see you back here in about a week then ???

You have the drive, you have the determination and you obviously have the skills - will look forward to reading your posts when you return

All the very best of luck
Lisa

Good luck!

Good luck in your endeavors. I took some time off a while back and it's NICE to get away from "the WSO of the day" and being tempted - all DISTRACTIONS to building your business. Focus, plan, implement, profit.

Good luck from me too. Sounds like you have a plan .

Well I think it could make a vast difference in your life, if you have the ability to follow through and I think your goals is very realistic and achievable.

Hope to see you back soon.... but like Gary said not too soon follow through with your goal.

That's the ticket. The only thing preventing you from being successful is yourself.

Best of luck to you.

I was expecting a 'I've had enough and I'm quitting' post, but was pleasantly surprised to read you post.

Good luck, I hope you reach your goal soon and come back to tell us all about it.

Excellent, you definitely do have the secret to making money online. The internet is one big distraction and the irony for internet marketers is that it can be their death knell with forums, email lists, blogs, rss feeds taking up most of their time.

Focus is the key and sticking with one thing until it succeeds. Most methods for making money online work but the majority of people never stick to anything for long enough.

Awesome to hear you are gearing up and putting yourself in an excellent position.

Good luck to you and see you when you get back!

While others will congratulate you, I have a different take. I think that you are making a mistake leaving the forum. Just because you have your little plan in place doesn't mean you know it all. We can never "know it all." Not to mention, staying around a community like this can keep you knowing the "heartbeat" of the industry. I think you are foolish to leave.

Yes focusing and taking massive action is what you need to do, but I think you should consider the fact that there are more benefits to checking out the forum at least once in a while than not at all.

If you truly want to build a business, you need to stay on the cutting edge of everything. Reading and participating in forums can help you continue to learn and also create good business relationships. Just my opinion.

Good luck ... you can do it!

I am confused and conflicted. Your trying to make $1000 a month and you have a coach? How long has he been your coach?

internet marketing isn't for everybody... and theres nothing wrong with that.

I've just gone most of the weekend without posting (well technically there are 30 minutes left in the weekend) and it was tough enough!

Sometimes I think that the biggest problem (certainly the biggest distraction) that Internet Marketers face is the Internet itself!

I really need to go "cold turkey" for a while and focus as well. I wish you all the best in your effort to do that, and I'm sure with your determination you'll net that 1000 dollars sooner than you think.

Bill

Leaving a specialized forum can only be bad, you can find the help and tools here that you NEED for the success you are looking for.

But good luck mate!

Good luck!

You sound very dedicated to your business so I'm sure we will see you back here soon announcing that your goal has been met.

All the best to you!

I'm not even a marketer yet... I'm just reading and gathering information and I already know that the forum is not your problem.

There is a term that season marketers use call "shiny thing syndrome" where you don't focus on one thing and perfect it before you move on to the next.

I applaud you for making a bold step in the right direction. You know what to do. You have all the right ingredients, its just a matter of putting them together in the right proportion.

Wish you all the best, here's to your success. See you soon.

Wishing you the very best in your future online endeavours
Best
Raviv

I'm new, and I find this forum really useful as it has a lot of answers to my questions, also a lot of courses, tools, tips, etc, I think it's a case of sorting the good from the bad, I'll always use good forums for knowledge and sharing, as I believe you can always learn something from others.

Very nice. Best of luck and see you soon again!

Have a great time and Good Luck !!!!!

I wish you good luck.. but I think you are making a huge mistake leaving the Warrior Forum. I don't which other forums you visit but you can eliminate them right away. But your biggest fans and supporters and information providers are right here. We are all willing and in some cases able to help you.

If you are going to have a profitable business on the Internet, the first thing you have to do is stop buying every "next best thing that is offered". You might want to unsubscribe to the "Sell You Everything Under the Sun" lists that just keep pushing more and more products on you.
Concentrate and focus Yeah.. that is the key
But you should not withdraw from this forum.

Consider this sage advice from an old soul... someone who has been there and done that.

Whatever products or services that you have already purchased, make those work. Read some of the "free" ebooks that explain what you need to do to establish your own business. What type of business are you trying to build.
Are you an affiliate?
Do you have your own website?
Do you belong to any membership site

You have to stay where you receive your strength ideas and get courage to fight another day/ What business model are you using?

That is the attitude!

Hats off to you for taking action finally. That is the biggest reason people fail online - they keep buying course after course thinking that there is some 'magic recipe' when really all you need is a plan and the focus to work that plan without getting side-tracked by all the 'shiny stuff'

Hope you come back soon to share your success story.

~Russ

Good Luck and all the best with your venture !

Good luck Mate. And one piece of advice: If you treat your Internet Marketing projects as a business, and have a focused plan you will find its a lot easy to suceed and find out how you can improve.

That means, having a set time each day to do work in an optimal work environment, freeing yourself from distractions and set down to do your work. I cannot tell you how many times I have coached or had people complain to me, simply because they didn't treat their business as a business.

They expected a band-aid fix or wanted somone else to do all of their work for them. They did not set personal goals for themselves and expected to be millionaires overnight. And ultimately they were no better off then when they stated.

The smart ones, really focused on their work, were dedicated to it and constantly looking for areas to improve their campaigns or business. They were not afraid to take measured risks, and reaped the rewards.

Au revoir and congratulations. You're right all those super slick e-mails from the *IM Guru's* with their latest must have courses and all the other distractions out there on the web just dilute your focus.

Thanks for the reminder and good luck.

Marcus

See you on the other side!!!

Congrats! I sincerely think you're taking the right steps. Every time I bump up my income level, from the very first time I started making consistent income to now, it's because I start to spend less time here and more time actively generating income for a while. Then I return and have a period of recuperation, analyzing what I've done and planning what to do next -- and the forum is a perfect place to hang out in these downtimes.

The forum is fantastic for advice, keeping an eye on fellow IM'ers, generating ideas for new activities, and so on. But unless you have a link to a WF-based offer in your sig and you're trying to promote it by posting in relevant threads (one of those borderline iffy activities, by the way), you aren't actually generating income. You're increasing your potential. Fantastic to do, but not to the exclusion of actually generating income!

That's why I think you made the right call... and I look forward to seeing you back here soon!

good luck kenomen, i hope you will share your success story when you come back

Wish you the best of luck and success!Thanks for posting!May your all dreams come true.

Dimitris

Yup, there's no secret: just business smarts and taking serious action.

Although I agree with other posters in the forum saying that you should use this tool to be "in the know", I also think that if you need a break, go for it.

The benefits of resting your mind for a little while is priceless (trust me, I know). I took the advice of a fellow Warrior and looked at what it was that made me work too hard, and actually achieve much less in the process.

By taking it as it comes (that doesn't mean don't fight, you are a warrior after all), you will learn the correct way to make a successful business.

Wish you all the best. And definately do come back and tell us your success story

- Dean

Good plan, but it's flawed. If you truly can't focus and want to avoid distraction, you need to add in another step:

#5 Throw out your TV.

Good luck, you've got a sensible attitude, you'll probably nail it this time.

Good luck in the coming months!
Do keep us updated with your success

Best of luck! $1000/month is not a big target.. LOL

Kenomen,
Be the Go Getter that you have finally decided to become. Best of luck.
Cheers!
Samoyin

good luck with your future endeavors, sorry they never worked out the way you desired on WF

Good luck on your plan . Do you really need to quit warrior forum ?. If you can manage your time properly, no need to quit.

If you are 100% sure that this forum will prevent you from focusing on your plan, then your decision is good.

That was a solid secret and a lesson to me. Thanks for sharing it.

sounds good I hope you find what you are looking for

Go forth and conquer your goals.

If you believe you can then you should but my advice is....It is not about the forum that you should leave in fact you should concentrate on your marketing plan that can use this forum to propel your success! The forum actually the best opportunities to earn your dollars in fact your first $1,000 dollars provided you have an powerful info that you can sell at $10 to only 100 member in this forum!

*Claps* Congratulations. Stick to your plan, and you will surely succeed. When you do return, be sure to let us know how things went, and perhaps some of the things you learned along the way.

"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."

The wisdom of The Eagles. Never question it.

The forum can be a great tool, you shouldn't rule it out all together, as far as the buying products are concerned, I'm glad you figured out that there is no one/big secret to making money online or starting an online business. It takes a plan work and dedication, which is seems you have now.

Best of luck to you, but remember you don't have to say good bye. THere are some great tips in the forum you can get for free, don't neglect to use them for your business needs!

Goodluck! I was once like you.. buying and reading all the things about IM that I can get my hands only to be distracted by ideas after ideas that come into my mind. Information overload.

Truth be told, I've been a member of the forum years back till I decided to forget my old account and decided to focus on the things that I bought. I stayed away from the forum for sometime and spent my time developing my online business applying the guides, materials and advices that I got here. So now I'm back here at the forum to give help as much I can because my online business is now doing great. Its my little own way of giving back to fellow members.

I've been a member of lots board and if there's one thing that I notice is that most and I say most of real successful entrepreneurs are rarely active on forums because they are busy working on with their business. Same thing i observed when I was doing freelance web development work (years ago before I decided to become a full time IM), freelancers who are so active on board, who's online portfolio are constantly updated are the ones who doesn't have projects.

I say good move on your decision to say goodbye for a while and go and apply the things that you've gained. Your $1000 a month goal is very achievable online. Just give it enough focus and determination and you'll see yourself surpassing that goal.

Good luck once more and see you again at the forum

I believe you made a very wise decision. Though you may want to drop by to find out something you're not sure of (since IM trends change all the time), you'll do fine as long as you do what you promised to do, that is TAKE ACTIONS.

Best Wishes,
Joe

I think you've make a very good choice, if we don't stop and reflect on what we have done in the past then positively we will not move forward.
i think that what you are doing which is a good step.
I too have bought a lot of tools online and have not made anything much.
so what i have to be doing is just focusing on one main think. once i have mate my gold then i will move on to something bigger.

Good luck and we'll keep the light on for ya!

I think I like your method better than asking a mod to ban me for a month to keep me off the forum and working on my stuff

Best of luck and hope to see you soon!
--Jack

Good luck.. and hope it works out for you. The only thing I don't understand is that you want to leave the WF! It's the BEST (no, not second best) forum on the planet for IM. The information you get here, especially the war room, is un-matched. Anyways... good luck!

Focus is good, but you're wrong in leaving Warriorforum in my arrogant opinion.

1 - You could make one h... of a thread by writing your step-by-step plan for making money, following up with results etc.

2 - You can brand yourself on this forum. By writing here, and contributing, you can get to know people, who can help you help yourself. It's networking, when it's best.

I too would have loved to say some things to him,
but it seems his mind is made up about leaving for
now. But... anyway, no need to say it. I just wish
him the best and yes... bon voyage,

Kingsley

Hi Warriors...... I'm back.

If you recall (If not, just read the first post of this thread), I told all of you that I was retiring from browsing and participating in this forum until I made 1K per month, my plan was to take massive action and get rid of distractions.

You may be thinking, okay, now he is going to tell us that he made it and is going to sell it as a WSO.

No.

I dind't accomplish my goal.

Why?

Because I didn't focus enough.

But I'm back because while on "retire" from forums I noticed and learned some important things.

I already know how to make money!
Yes... during this time I've been building Amazon niche sites and following a coaching program, I've had results from the Amazon sites and these sites are already earning some money.

In fact I'm earning about $300 USD per month from 4 sites I build 1-2 years ago that I set and forget. Not a single new link or new content in more than 1 year and they are making good money.

These sites took me a few hours to set up... If I had been building sites like these during these 4 years online, I would be making a fortune. Stupid me!!!

The thing is that I KNOW how to make money.

But during this time I've also realized that, as some Warriors pointed out, it's not good to isolate from other marketers.
Building relationships and networking with other Marketers is a vital aspect for business. I also realized that I know a LOT of things so I can give good advice to other Warriors less experienced.

So I will stay with you here at the Warrior Forum, I will share my experiences and will participate in the community.

That's it for now, soon I will be sharing with you other things I've learned and realized during my "retire".

What?

You're making money from Amazon sites.

Interaction with other marketers is not required.

Zero. None. End of Story.

You're making money. Go make more money.

Good Luck! I've been doing the same thing, trying this, buying that and not concentrating on anything. You are doing what I know I should be doing and I'm going to make the effort in 2011. Your post was a good reminder. Wish you every success.

I think the main obstacle standing in the way of your success is a lack of focus. You say you already have several Amazon sites created a few years ago making you a steady $300 per month in 'set and forget' fashion. Why on earth haven't you reinvested some of your profits in building many, many more of those sites? You seem to already know what goes into a successful Amazon site, so why haven't you scaled it up already?

waiting until you come back here with success... yes, you can do it !!!!
happy new year !!!!! as someone said here, 2011 year must be our action year,

However... it's the amazon sites that are making money when everything else you invested time and money into failed... that is the impression I got from your first post.

Sounds to me like you gobbled up too much guru nonsense and it led you down the wrong path and now you're falling back into that trap.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Best wishes. However, I would not recommend completely isolating yourself. I hope you are able to reach, and maintain, your goals.

Good Luck folk!. We all need to focus on just one thing...our own online business. I am 100% agree with you. STOP wasting money in garbage tools and plan your success. I have enough information, you too, so what else we need?...

ACTION!

Well, I have mixed feeling about WF . But I'm just wonder.
How many people(WF) actually are making $1,000( net) at least per month?

C'm raise your hand.

Juan

I just know that one day you will come back internet is a really virus

be well.

make sure to surround yourself then with others who are passionate, dreamers, and go getters so that they feed you good energy, courage, and ideas on your journey.

see you soon.

Success needs focus. Hope you will get your goal and share your success with us.

Good luck.

How long have you been trying to reach your $1000 goal? Instead of selling your own products why not use Clickbank and promote other peoples products. Create a review site that reviews the products and throw your codes in there, it's easy as apple pie. Keep creating more and more autoblogs and review sites and sooner than later you'll be making over $1000 a month

My weakness is buying lots of "holy grail" domains. LOL !!!


When we do these things we are buying "hope" which is a good thing when it is finally
put into a focused effort on something that works.

Bye bye Mr. You are one of a good example to people here. Hope you get your money back and hope you get a long term business. Wish that your success in life will continue outside of the forum. Have always time for God because he is the ONE ! Have a nice day!

We shall see you again right? By that time Im sure that you will be bringing in your successful card with you. I wish you all the best and Im so happy that you already made a solid decision.

See you soon!

Andrea

Good luck to you in your future endeavors! Leaving a forum is hard, especially when there is so much support and knowledge at your fingertips.

See you man!

and All the best!

sounds like a great plan for 2011 ... best of luck bud,
seriously, nothing beats taking action

Good luck to you. If you decide to come back ever, it will be pleasure

thats cool man i wish you the best of luck to your success and always make the right decisions for yourself

Your own smarts will get you very far.....but being able to borrow other peoples smarts will get you much further.

Good Luck! You will do fine

At firat, I thought you were a quitter.....but now that I see what you're doing, I can see it's the right thing.

Good luck, and godspeed.

Thanks guy.I cant just help but use my thankyou button!
Ups

Good luck. Make sure you stop back and let us know how you did.(after you get everything on track of course)

Best of luck,
Justin

Reading all the dumb forums and peoples marketing ploys will have others think this BS. That is where most people fall off. There is no magic potion. I bet you'll make your first 1k this month if you do this. Stop wasting your $$ on getting other people rich... Good luck!

Good luck and all the best man

To your success!! Let us know when you reach your goal!
