If You're the Kind of Person Who is Struggling, Tell Me WHY...

It's usually procrastination and "good intentions".

The reason a job is different for people without that control is they have someone whipping them.

For me, I also worry about doing things incorrectly and getting banned ect. In other words, I'm not taking enough risks.

I have too many ideas coming into my head from threads, most of them contradicting each other, which is a downside if you don't know how to properly go about something.

I'm also lazy as I play a lot of video games.

Hope that answers your question.

I am an internet marketer because I spend so much time on the internet, and it came to me, why not make money online while I surf the web and meet other people? So this quickly became an obsession for me over the past 5 years.

In short, I have not reached the level of success I desire online. I do however make a decent income.

What started working for me once I decided to go full time is when I stopped bouncing from one thing to the next and focused on one business, and from there everything started to make sense and a lot easier.

Some main factors I would attribute to why people would generally do Internet Marketing. Freedom to work when I want, no externally forced pressure, satisfaction and the monetary part as well.

Perfectionism kills me.

In reality you only need 3 things to be successful in this business.

1) A solid plan

2) Implementation of that plan (aka ACTION)

3) Persistence with that plan until you make it work

There is no way you can fail if you do that. With persistence you will keep altering a plan until it does work. Everytime something does not work you look at that as a learning experience and you move on. Eventually you hit what does work for you.

My point is there is an abundance of information out there that people could implement to make money online. List building is one such example. It is a tried and true method for making money online. In fact most of the gurus selling products and courses teaching you how to make money are actually making the majority of their money by selling you stuff as a member of their list. List building is not difficult at all.

So step one is NOT the problem. Information is readily available for anyone who wants it. I bet if you also looked at the hard drives of most unsuccessful people in this forum they would all be chock block full of courses and WSO's they never implemented. So lack of information is never the problem.

The reason most people do not succeed is due to lack of action. But not just any action. Out of those few who do take action, only a few of them will have the determination and persistence to keep going until they make their plan work. Even a lot of action takers will throw in the towel way too early. The easy thing to do is to just give up and blame everyone and everything else for your lack of success. Blame the courses. Blame the gurus. Blame the forum. Blame everything except for yourself.

So even point 2 is not entirely the problem. Action alone is not a guarantee of success.

The problem is point 3. Persistence.

A plan without action will get you nowhere. Action without persistence will only ever get you part of the way. But a solid plan with persistent action will always get you to your desired outcome. The reality is though, majority of people just do not have the self discipline to stick it out. A lot of this stems from the instant gratification society we live in nowadays. Most people seem to think making money online should be easy and quick. When they find out the reality is very different, they move on very quickly. A lot of people are scared of hard work.

The main reason is because I want my family to have a better lifestyle and I do not want to them to worry about money matters. I grow up in a environment where my family is constantly worried about not having enough money. Just thinking of this gets me motivated to grow my online business

I like to start with second answer as I just think about my family when I get up from bed a thought with a good and healthy living.
I do affiliate and one other internet marketing work for getting a good handsome money. this is a whole story of my life starts from bed to my computer and than bed.

Procrastination is probably my biggest problem.

imho: To be constantly motivated to do better and never give up...
sometime what you are doing may exactly be the same as other who had succeeded but still fail in the end.. I hate to admit but small element of luck still plays a part..
Nevertheless.. it is more of how fast you want to succeed...

Financial independency is my main reason, like a lot others on here. Unlike most day jobs now a days, I also really like learning and reading about my "job".

I also really enjoy helping others reach their financial goals. I must admit I didn't go into this business thinking: "Wow I am going to help a lot of people reach their financial goals in life". But it has become some sort of drug though :-) Reaching your own success is REALLY great, but helping others is really what makes you 'feel good'.

5 more minutes.... :-D

On a serious note I think about what I should be doing today and trying to get into my "success entreprenuer mindset".

I tend to like internet marketing cause it is a route to freedom and its a route that allows me to do it and be more creative and independent than many other business opportunities.

I have struggled because of these things:
No time or no not enough money. huge learning curve I hear is the biggest for people. I found after you learn everything to know about marketing you keep buying products anyways for a long time and then you think the only way you can make money is if you go into marketing as a marketer that tries to help others succeed at marketing when you haven't succeeded yourself and then your all like wait a minute can I do this if I don't have the credibility?
Also it is a struggle because it is so easy to get caught in perfectionism, and take forever to get something accomplished.
I found with creating a list I would want to go the extra mile to create a kick ass list but then the project would drag on for months, it was like there was no easy way to do it, be better than everyone else or even just good enough to know that I would make money and then do it fast and easy. I often wanted other like minded people to talk to and to shoot ideas off of, kind of like a mentor but without having to pay thousands of dollars.

I guess if you are trying to help marketers by creating a product that will help them, they really want short cuts and something that they know will work for them.

I hope that helps. If so please press thanks button. it will help out my profile a lot thanks!
