3 Years Before the Big IM Breakthrough - What was it?
Focus, motivation and persistence are words you hear a lot about when it comes to self improvement and building a business.
But talk is cheap!
I prefer the common sense approach to all this - its really comes down to making yourself do whatever you need to do. i.e ACTION (another word you are probably sick of hearing)
All this stuff about positive thinking and the rest of it, may well have some merit - but for me I see it as being quite simple...
Your focus, motivation, persistence and action all needs to be pointing at the right thing. We usually know what that is, but fail to do what we deep down know to be the right thing, or have been told is the right thing to do.
I was not focused on one project, was not taking the right action, was getting distracted by email, was doing all sorts of other things I shouldn't when I justified doing the wrong thing as if it were the right thing. That's why it took me so long to get my business off the ground.
The big breakthrough for me was actually being persuaded to believe the things you are often told but don't do are right.
For example...
You want to surround learn from very successful people and listen to what they have to say. Reading their books and courses is a great start.

For example...
- When enough successful entrepreneurs told me that trying to do lots of projects will hold me back, I eventually listened, and became convinced.I think the key to becoming convinced about what you should actually do is surrounding yourself with positive influence. Chatting in forums like this are okay, but there's a lot of negative influence here too.
- When I worked closely with successful internet businesses and saw what they were doing actually worked, and how it works, my motivation sky-rocketed when I realized it is possible for anyone to build a big online business if they are committed and have the right mindset.
- Even more recently it finally sunk in that checking my email everyday (and multiple times throughout the day) was a complete waste of time. I always kind of knew this, but eventually it sunk in just how much of my life it was wasting and how much my business was suffering because I was allowing email to break my concentration and suck up my time. I am now convinced that checking my email everyday makes my life worse, so even if its a nice quick distraction from some difficult work I don't want to do, I now will rarely check my email.
