    . . . as long as you keep moving, learning, and tweaking your process, you WILL succeed!

    "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; un-rewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

      Thats an important point Sheila. There is no point trying and trying again if what you are doing is not working.

      I agree with your original post though Ant

    Dear newbies,

    Please quit and sell me your websites for pennies on the dollar.

    Kidding!

    Moving past the give up point is when you start to get ahead. That is what will separate the real entrepreneurs from the part timers.

    People need to remember that this is a marathon not a sprint. It took me many years to slow down and not think everything had to come all at once or that everything I was doing was critical that moment.

    My problem is that my brain's are leaking from all the information I've been trying to take in. I think I need to slow down and concentrate on one thing at a time. At the moment I'm running around like a headless chicken, but I'm getting there, wherever that may be

    • Profile picture of the author Ant West
      yes theres heaps of information, what i have been doing is jotting everything down on a notepad , so i don't lose any information , I rather write it down then bookmark or type it somewhere , but that's how i take information in, i suppose different people take it in. In different ways.

    It's natural to feel discouraged at times. Obviously when you see money coming into your account you stop feeling discouraged, so it's good for a newbie to do something that isn't necessarily what you want to do in a long run, but something that brings quick cash. It extends the "I hope IM actually works so I'm gonna hang on" period so you have the time to start working on whatever interests you and you have fun doing for a longer period of time.

    These words are very true too:

    It's unfortunate that people give up so soon when their initial plans don't work out. Just keep plugging away, try new ideas, listen to the good advice in the forum, and put in the time and effort. Do these things and you will succeed. "Rome wasn't built in a day."

    too many opportunities on "the internet" too just quit. If one thing doesnt work, a other thing will. It takes time to find "your" thing..and then just continue that path.

    Sometimes the "Modified Shampoo Method" works wonders as a mindset -

    Original Shampoo Method - Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

    Modified Shampoo Method - Do something small to gauge the results, tweak it, repeat it, tweak it until the results are the highest they can be, percentage-wise, then do it on a large scale.

    Then do more "shampooing" in other areas and strategies.

    The goal is to tweak up to the highest result with the smallest test group, then to condense the most broad scale endeavor with the least amount of steps (one button push, if possible).
