Why if I Fail in IM I am Going to Fail in Any Business
A few years ago I had one of those Eureka Moments! A recently launched ebook was going nowhere. After one 1 week on Adwords I was losing money. Failure.
I was ready to get the next book and money making technique and try something new.
Then the flash of inspiration hit.
I had left the football field after the first drive scored no points.
It was too soon to see if this was a failure or a wild success.
I was not failing due to a bad product, i was failing due to lack of persistence and focus.
Then the eureka moment came. If I treated another business or career like I did this project, I would guarantee to fail:
=> I would have closed the restaurant after one week.
=> Given up after the first book reject.
=> Changed careers when no one bought a car from me the first couple days.
My point is that to succeed in any field you need focus and persistence. If we apply these two qualities to our projects like people do in off line business, we would likely be more successful.
The rest of the Story.
I hung in there made some changes and it pulled in $500 a month for about a year until Google ad words trippled in price.
Don't give up, unless you know truly have a lemon. Keep going and reap the benefits.
