If It All Goes Wrong & Your Marketing Efforts Fail - Get Excited! Here Is Why!

8 replies
Yes! I am talking to you! you know exactly what I mean don't you! :p

I have been there, the gurus have been there, and in some form or another we have all hit that rock bottom area!

But Mumma Told Ya .....There Would Be Days Like this

Everything was going along swimmingly then you notice that suddenly THE SHTF! it hits the heavy duty industrial fan big time! OUCH!

I remember killing it with my first PPC efforts I spent $2000 and made $5000, i was dancing on air as I made this in just 2 weeks. WOW! 3k in 2 weeks is pretty good right!?. But low and behold I was dancing and think about how much I was struggling and not able to pay bills and now i was finally 'getting it' but while out in the car that day, I backed into a sedan in the shopping centre and caused $2,500 worth of damage to the other vehicle, and to make matters worse I was not insured. Grrrrr!!! So there went pretty much all hard work I did for the last month.

See I belive this happened for a reason I kept focusing on how much money I did not have even though it was coming in. I realised that I am the instant creator for this, and there is a lag time before what you think and when it arrives. This was a perfect example.

If you are experiencing the same problems on your road to riches, focus on the future and not on the past. Focus on exactly what you want in 1 year from now or 5 years from now, and you will get there.

Do not keep focusing on the smaller pot holes or you will have a bigger crash just like I did. Trust me! That is what happend to me.

If one thing after another seem to come toppling down on your head, realize that you are part of nature and made up from atoms, living cells that attract and unattract certain things, and events and happenings in your life.

You realise that you set up your PPC wrong, or you shouldn't have blasted that stupid email to your list of 10,000 people. Your are worried the whole time you are preparing your WSO and blam, a headache comes in, you start feeling sick and this makes you get even more negative and you dont end up posting it to the forum. You feel like you failed before you even started.

What the hell happend? I will tell you what!.... You are manifesting the things into your marketing the exact opposite of what you want to happen. You basically failed in your own mind before you finished, or even saw some results.

I belive in a greater marketing universal force out there somewhere (sorry to get all jedi starwars on you lol) This knows you as a marketer from day one and knows where you want to go and how successful you want to be.

The universe listens to you each day and knows what is the best course for you in the long run, and has its own grand plan for you! It is like it has to realign your life, teach you things in order so you can reach your goals and become the successful online entrepreneur you have always wanted to become. So just realise this when things stuff up an get a little messy!

YES!

But do not let these bad situations get you down! I will tell you why?

Instead GET EXCITED! Yes! Get really excited!

Oh great, Celente has finally gone mad! lol ....no let me explain!.....

Get excited when things go bad. The reason, is because sometimes things look bad on the surface, yet things are just changing their course to something much better down the track with your online endeavours.

It is the universes way of getting you back on the right path. My own marketing experiences have taught me time and time again, that the worse something looks the MORE FANTASTIC things seem to work out in the long run. You learn from a mistake, you get a wrong JV partner, you screw up an advertising campaign. But do not take the negatives, take the positives away...you know what 'NOT TO DO' do next time.

Then get excited about what will happen next time. Stop focusing on what is currently happening. Dont pick up the phone and tell you parents and friends how you are failing. Stop coming to the warrior forum and whining about how all this marketing hoopla is a scam and doesnt work! Stop kicking the dog when you wake up in the morning.:rolleyes:

Realise when you are a marketer down in the dumps, if you keep focusing on the bad, you are actually attracting more bad thing to come around you or happen to you. It is like you are going through the macdonals drive through and asking for a cup of bad luck and a side order of scrambled brain. Where do you think this is going to take you?

I remember my grandad teaching me when I was a teenage entrepreneur. HE said, celente sometimes, you just have to have darkness for the stars to come out and show themselves. He always said son, sometimes you have to have a storm to see a rainbow. At the time I thought my dear old grandad was going senile. But later in life I realised what a valuable lesson this was!! and SO TRUE. Especially with my marketing and online businesses that I run.

So warriors from now on, every time your marketing efforts go sour just feel the anticipation that those greater forces out there, somewhere has something more special for you coming VERY SOON!

When the tough gets going it is just a confirmation that you are set for a breakthrough of massive proportions and it COMING VERY SOON! Remember the best thing about hitting rock bottom (if you feel like you are there) is that you cannot get any lower now can you! :p

So everytime things go wrong, do a little dance, an imagine that something very good is coming for you, and more profits are coming your way soon.

Hope this helps.

      that was from my post yes.

      Important, there is so much we can learn about ourselves too as things go right and things go wrong.

      Like how do u react when your marketing goes well?

      and what happens when it all goes pear shaped?

      How does this make you feel ?

        Dear Celente

        My heartfelt thanks for your wonderful post - sometimes we just need to realise that the universe is working out in our favour even if everything is falling down around US.

        Though I can't speak from experience YET - I’m sure it will work out somehow.

          Thanks tom.

          When I look back at my marketing results...and what has happened and how far i have come.... It is truely remarkable. The big screw ups and stuff ups were the biggest blessings ever.

          I am sure you know what i mean.

          Sometimes you gotta crawl before you walk. Same with IM.

          Here are my biggest secrets

          1) Test and fail.

          2) Test some more and fail a little bit.

          3) Test a hell of a lot more and find something that makes you profit.

          4) Repeat step 3 and upscale and outsource and make some more money.

          Funny thing is that most people give up at about step 2, and make it more complicated than it really has to be. :p

    Nice post indeed.

    You almost lost me when you went all "Jedi - Star Wars" like you said lol but then you brought me back

    I am a firm believer in try and fail fast... That way you know what you did wrong and what doesn't work which IMO is just as important (if not more so) than what DOES work.

    It may sound weird but I'm one who enjoys learning from my mistakes. Don't get me wrong, I still do get disappointed when something doesn't go as I thought or planned it would. The next time around, I know I should expect a different outcome if I try to fix what I did wrong. Even if that still fails, that's two wrong ways of doing it down. Only about 4234038048 gazillion others to go... I'm bound to stumble upon one that works

    Also, do not get my words mixed up. I'm not saying try and try and try all blindly. You still have to have a solid plan of action of course.

      Thanks so much DR and others.

      I know a very smart man by the name oh...john reese

      That guy tests all sorts of stuff.

      he knows that if he tries or tries 10 different things ....

      2 things will work ok

      and 1 thing will work like A CHAMP!

      So that is like 10% success rate if you want to look at it that way.

      So it just goes to show you that testing in this game is king. Split testing, different headlines, different offers, upsells, prices, layout, color, sales page color, copywriting, sales funnels, yadda yadda yadda..and the list goes on.

      People that just fail and walk away do not have enough appreciation for this game, and understand how hard and how many times the gurus do fail before they became successful.

      My friend here in OZ had a 7 figure business....lost it to a wife (divorce). Then got up and started again and did it all again. He knew what worked and how to recreate it, all it took was time. He now is running the same 7 figure business it just has a different name.

      Just goes to show you one you have a method stick to it. Do not care about how many times you fail in the process....realise the more you fail, the more chance you will get to finding the one little breakthrough that you need, then just build on that.

      Who knows what lies around the corner for you

    If you fail first time you've got to pick yourself up and carry on!

    "I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." <-- Thomas Edison said that.
