Hey,

So what DOES Walter Payton have to do with internet marketing and your profits?

A lot actually.

Please, allow me to explain.

This is Shane from The-SEO-Guide.co and today I wanted to write you and share a story with you that I shared with my daughter not long ago.

=======================
This may take a few minutes to read, so if you don't have time to read it now, please come back to it soon because I believe it's very important. And I'm sure it'll affect your affiliate commissions.
=======================

My daughter plays soccer and has for over 8 years now. She's the goalie for her team. (I don't really know why she wanted to be the goalie, since they get beat up the most) But anyway. She's the goalie.

She was having a hard time stopping some the soccer balls from girls who were really good. She was really struggling with her dive. She just refused to dive for the ball, even though she loves getting dirty.

I figured there was something stopping her. A "mental block" if you will. So here's what I told her.

Have you eave watched the running back on a football team run all the way down the field and score a touchdown?

Now, if you were to ask that running back how he did it...exactly, he would probably give you the dear in the headlight look.

You see, the running back isn't focused on his next move. He's focused on the end zone. The only thing he has on his mind is "touchdown". He's totally focused on getting the touchdown, and his mind basically obeys his every command.

Have you ever seen Walter Payton in the highlight reels when he was in his prime? He would run around defenders, over defenders, under defenders and THROUGH defenders. It was a pleasure watching him.

He set his mind on the end zone, and his body just seemed to take him there.

Sure, he had "plays" and a "play book", but they didn't get him to the end zone. HE took himself there.

The play may be something like, handoff, split right, then run straight. That's the play. However, it doesn't give step-by-step instructions on how to get there.

That was up to Walter.

And the same goes for you, I told her. You know how to play soccer. Now, just focus on stopping any ball that gets near you. Focus on stopping every one. EVERY ONE.

After that, her game improved drastically.

=====================
But what about you?
=====================
It's my guess that you're no different. You probably already have courses on how to make money online.
And you probably already have gurus that you study from.

Well, I've got news for you. They are not going to get you to the "endzone". YOU are.

The onus is on you. Just implement what you have already learned from the gurus that you've studied, set your sights in the goal...then RUN!

P.S. OH! And as for my daugther. Well, since our little "pep" talk, she's been the starting goalie for her team. She's the star player on the team. No penalty kicks or overtime kicks have gotten by her. And her teammates rely on her every single game. Awesome. I'm so proud of her.

I cut the email off here, because this is the part where I recommend a product to my subscribers.

Have a great day and happy marketing.

Shane

    You're right though Shane.

    We are as good at something as we believe.

    You believe you can't make a sale, you wont. Some people just need to make that shift in their head where they go from not believing in themselves to knowing - and I don't just mean thinking, I mean actually knowing - they are capable of whatever they put their mind to.
