What stopped me from being successful, what I did to become successful.

8 replies
So this is a mini story of what had happened with me as to what stopped me from my goals and wanting to succeed, but then I changed 1 thing that has now caused me to become more successful and more committed.

This isn't some lead on sales page to lol

For just about 6 months when I started Internet Marketing I was always trying to finish products or think of something to work on, but whenever I had started I would procrastinate because of 1 addiction.

As silly as it may sounds, it was a forum. This is a forum where I started 1 year ago getting interested into making money offline with GPT's, bots and trying to make it all auto pilot. Within a year (witch is now), I finally learned else where and became very strategic at internet marketing. I stayed with this forum because talking with members and flaming was to much fun.

Just this last week I had been thinking about what was stopping me and where I need to fix the issue so I could accomplish my life goals and what I was planning to do to make money online.

Whenever I would set a product or something to work on with a partner I would never go through, I would quit part way because I would get to lost in the fun and procrastinate it for later on and how I will do it later.

So a few nights ago I decided to giveaway all of my user titles, my subscriptions and my everything on the forum to other forum users. I had then requested a permanent deletion from the database from an admin so I don't think of coming back.

Since then I have been way more productive for JV products and with my partners. Reflecting back I am happy I made a step forward to a good cause. I have been able to get all my school work done on time and started to actually workout again!

The reason I made this was to help the people who struggle with going through with things or major procrastination. Some of you may think that what I did was easy, leave everyone who I loved and chatted to everyday. It was pretty hard to really go through with it, I still regret it some what now, thinking of the good times I had with everyone on the forum to.

You need to cut off what is holding you back, no matter how much it will hurt at first, you will barely regret it in the long run when you can say, "I did this, I accomplished it when I thought I couldn't".

    Hey Pro TJ,
    I agree with you completely that you have to cut off the distractions or anything else that is holding you back if you want to see any sort of success in this business or any other. It can be a very hard thing to do at first but it is necessary.

    Well Done.
    I will get started on this tomorrow.

    Just Kidding.

    This forum is my addiction, not necessarily a distraction though.
    I am constantly evolving here, if so facto, not what is holding me back.
    That would be not enough time

    I agree that in your life, if there is something that will not allow you to be successful, then you need to drop that out of your life. Sometimes it is very hard to do, but if you want to have that success, you must make the decision to do something about it.

    Hard work and zero distractions is the best policy. I get detracted all the time and i end up on YouTube.

    I agree that distractions can easily waste alot of time. However there are a bunch of plugins you can use to block specified sites online so you don't navigate to them if you are working.

    Sometimes you have to be willing to say, "I love you, but you gotta go", to whatever that might be which is distractiing.

    I also agree that Being Focused, having a Vision, a Burning Desire as Napoleon Hill say's, will elimiated many of the so called distractions.

    Just my take

  • Procrastionation can get the best of us. It is up to us to set our priorities straight and steer straight into success that you want to achieve.
