Success Online is 80% Mindset

Mindset is very important but you still need to learn HTML, Google Adwords, Article Writing and much more. Biggest thing I have found is selling the right product. Something that is in high demand.

I would have to agree with the 99.9% statement. You could feasibly know nothing technical and still make it work with the right mindset.

Working on a project that revolves around mindset and consciousness has been a great way for me to see that firsthand with myself and others I work with.

We all live in self-limited worlds that in a real sense are our creations. Most of our creations are self limiting walls and barriers.

Scripture states it "suppressing the truth in unrighteousness" which just means we shut out things that don't fit into our immediate desires because those desires mean more to us than what is right. Of course those desires are a result of our short-sighted self limiting world view. As our view of reality widens, our desires become more noble and pure.

Plato's cave analogy also applies here.

I think the "Law of Attraction" attitude is more about an approach to life than a magic way to rub a lantern and get a Porsche. It's an approach that leads us out of our own caves.

I used to be like that, 500 or so websites trying to make them all as big a google. As soon as I narrowed it down to 5 websites is when it all came together.

80% mindset and 20% action is a great combo.

Swilliams, its easy to get torn 5 or 6 different ways to earn money. Imagine if you put all your energy into one project? I have been focusing on the same Internet Business Model for over 2 years. I even have a Excel spreadsheet to keep my marketing on track, I should share that with Forum. PM me anybody if you want it.

Focusing on one thing is key, but knowing that thing can be the problem too. You don't want to follow a rabbit trail.

If you can leverage your core strengths, and look where you can provide maximum value, that is the best starting point.

In the end that is the shortest path.

Simple, but not easy.

What I meant was, learn one aspect of Internet Marketing, focus and master it, then move to the next. I learned Social Media, Google Adwords and Video Marketing at an expert level, now I am focusing on Blog and Articles.

Well said Sam. As a business owner/founder I've found that my main strength is strategy and bringing all the horses together. too many people try to do it all when they shouldn't. Even if they could, there isn't enough time in the day to be an expert at everything this business requires.

True...I spend about 20 to 40 minutes per day in the Forum, any more would drive me crazy. Spend the rest of my day writing articles, creating videos, Social Media (twitter and facebook) and PPC optimization.

Yeah, you get these people who try Twitter, Facebook, Article Writing or Blogs like for 2 weeks and say it doesn't work. You must do this in mass volume, I have 40K Twitter Followers, 6K Total on Facebook, over 50 Articles and Blogs (looking to write 50 per month in 2010).
Have a great 2010 my friends !!!

I have to disagree. If you have a positive mindset, but do little or nothing your not going to get anywhere.

On the other hand, if you have a negative mindset-You've tried, and tried, and tried and nothing works-Your doubtful anything is going to work-but you keep taking action, you'll eventually succeed.

Just because you think something will work doesnt mean it will, and just because you doubt yourself doesnt mean something wont work. You have to take action, before you know anything for certain.


Of course having a positive mindset is important to; but happy thoughts arent going to build a business for you. Hard work, strategy, and innovation are.

A positive mindset is important only so much as it contributes to your ability to take action and relate to your peers.

Sorry, I just cant let this one go. I know to many people who have "positive" mindsets and sit around and do nothing. I know one guy whos "Going to be a millionaire" next year. Only, he says that every year.

Whats he do? He builds up his business, gets comfortable and lets his earnings drop; and does the same thing next year.

If he quit being so "positive" and stuck with a "This is war, I'm going to give this my all" like he does when his business starts to hit a down turn every year he would be a multimillionaire right now.

But he doesnt. Because instead of staying focused, he stays "positive" and thats all he does.


Being positive is important. But its also a seductive trap. If you dont stay *motivated* then your going to fall into it. Business, especially in a virtual environment requires constant innovation.

Ask better questions...

Have fun
