    Personal blocks. It's amazing, but I know I want it and on some level I try to sabotage it. If you can get through your own blocks then I think you are one step ahead. Great question and I can't wait to see what others say!

      One achievable goal, focus on that goal, and learn Internet marketing skills.

      I know a lot of people who have a good attitude, but never learn how to do Internet marketing. Learning the basics, especially traffic generation, will overcome a lot of mindset problems.

    I think focus will cover it, but you have to focus on the right things, focus on the right values that will bring you what you want, so first of all you must know what you want. And when you are focused you hustle hustle hustle because you know what you want and are going to get it no matter what. is that 3?

    perseverance, diligence, discipline. and probably an element of self-belief as well.
    i was just chatting to my sister about this massive essay she has due in, and she said she's had to kick herself up the bum and get over this fear of trying that she has - fear of trying too hard because if you fail you'll fall harder than if you didnt try at all.
    just thought that was quite fitting to this topic.

      That is so true, people need to stop looking at internet marketing as a get rich quick scheme. If you invested the type of money that you would in a franchise, the money you could make in internet marketing would be enourmous.

      Ashame really, the income you can earn on the Internet with the proper plan and tools far exceeds that of a $750,000 franchise.

    I'll give you 3 things that will help you achieve whatever it is you are trying to accomplish as well as give you a taste of what a day in the life of Prohias is like.

    1. Always be thinking about WHAT you want and HOW to get it.
    2. Set realistic goals, and create a SPECIFIC list of ACTION STEPS on what needs to be done to achieve those goals
    3. WORK from that list of action steps DAILY

    Most importantly - Do it NOW!


    I believe its best to work when you feel good, have positive energy, and will power to get something done. For me, that time is in the morning. I always get the most work done early in the AM after a small breakfast. I eat for fuel; not to get full, or I'll get lazy and catch a case of the itis.

    Might as well use that will power to work towards your goals.

    A good habit I picked up and drilled into my subconscious last year is to always set a timer for how long you plan to work. Whether it be 15 minutes or 3 hours.

    I write a short list of what I plan to accomplish on a note card in that time and I keep it visible at all times. This forces me to stay on task, not deviate, and have a constant reminder of the best use of my time and energy at that very moment. You may not accomplish everything you set out to do, but you'll get a lot done in that set amount of time if you focus your energy on what is important (your list) and do not let yourself get distracted.

    At the MINIMUM, I have my timer set for up to 2 hours at LEAST once per day, usually in the morning. The two hours are set on two 1 hour intervals, at the end of the first hour I'll stop for a couple minutes to move around, grab some water and maybe a granola bar - then its right back to the grind.

    A couple times a week, I'll get two 2 hour sessions of IM related work in. Its easy to get burnt out, so have some quotes that motivate you near by .. whether its on sticky notes, your bulletin board, taped to your door, whatever.

    Success doesn't come easy, takes hard work to stay driven. Just remember that feeling you first got when you decided to initially take action and what it means to you if you were to reach your goals, whatever they may be.


    Best of luck my friend.
    Prohias

    It's my belief that the top 3 traits that separate winners from losers in Internet marketing are: 1. The ability to follow a plan every day. 2. Staying motivated even when the sales are not coming in. 3. Not getting distracted by every fad system that promises lots of money with little work.

      You have to constantly keep moving and achieving goals if you want to be successful in IM. You have to battle yourself to be in the correct mindset. Correct mindset means continuously working, never stopping, towards your goals.
