Okay Warriors...those who have recently found success in IM (read: making enough $$$ to make a difference in their lives)...

Please offer some of your best advice to keep the rest of us dedicated, although struggling, to continue to fight on to victory...

You will have a huge impact on us all...

Thanks for the enlightenment!

    You know, there were several times when I wondered whether I should keep going - would it be worth it at some point, was I barking up the wrong tree, should I just hang it up and go check groceries ...

    ...and it was, I wasn't, and I'm really glad I didn't. I'm not making as much as some of the others here, but it's not my goal to make millions, so I don't give every waking hour to my work, even though I enjoy it very much. But the bills are getting paid and my husband and I have a sense of relief that even if he loses his job (we live in a dying town) we won't have to panic.

    But to get there, you have to stay the course, assuming you are on a course that will actually produce results and is not a wild goose chase.

    I don't know if that's motivating at all, but there it is.

    That's great news for you both, I think the main motivtion is that the time and the effort you put in now is helping to shape your future - I probably spend quite a bit of time working on IM but I enjoy the rewards it brings and the flexibility I have. I choose when and how I work and like today I can go out and enjoy a coffee with my wonderful partner.

    its a choice we make, and it takes hard work and patience, but its possible to make a living on the internet and create a lifestyle that you always dreamed of - i'm not 100% there but like you guys it sounds like we're well on the way!

    Hi tehering,

    Keep going no matter what. Take that sentence and sear it onto your mind. By persisting you will find out what you need to know to succeed.

    In addition take frequent breaks throughout the day to see your vision in crystal clear detail. Nothing is more important than your vision....it's where you are headed! Holding a vision has kept me moving when times were tough. It allows you to attract all that you need to make the vision real.

    Feel free to stop by my blog(in sig) or youtube profile, I've uploaded over 150 of my videos in the last month. I hit on topics like inspiration/motivation frequently.

    Enjoy the day

      Ryan's absolutely right. Vision is vital.

      As part of that, visualisation is very important. Look into your future, the future that you want to create and see it clearly. Ignore your current situation for a few moments as that is only a reflection of a past you, not the future you.

      Realise also that the more value that you provide for more people, the more money you will make. So focus on how you can help others and how they can pay you for that assistance.

      Hope that helps.

      If you want to drop by the mindset section of my blog, you might find some tools and inspiration to help you.

    Take Action IMMEDIATELY. There is no 'perfect' time to start your campaigns and there will always be new things to learn in internet marketing. You just have to get started and stop jumping from course to course. Stick with one, test it out then only move on to the next. I recall my very first campaign and today I look back, 'omg, who is ever gonna click through that page' lol! But it's been a fruitful journey.

    The best learning is through your experience and the actions you embark through your internet marketing efforts.

    Get started, get the ball rolling and it gets easier and you'll be another step closer to your victory.

    best of luck
