What qualities are important to your success?

Two different questions here. Your title is what qualities are important to my success, and in your post you ask what qualities are important to have success in IM. Those are quite different.

Qualities to my own success are related to my relationships with my family, my spouse, my children, my level of involvement with my church, how I am able to help those around me, and so on....

Important to IM is that you have the mindset of actually being a marketer who works on the Internet; through the media of the Internet. One can be involved with IM as a career and not be running their own business - and on the flip side you can have an online business and not be that great at IM.

Overall, I think the most important quality is mindset. Be it for the personal success or business success, having the correct mindset is the most important element. You could have all the skill and knowledge in the world, but if you don't believe in yourself, you will fail.

HTH

I know this is going to sound stupid but DOING THINGS. That's really it. It's really not a big deal if you do something and you make yourself look like an idiot.

I started "internet marketing" about 3 and a half years ago like everyone else. I'd 'try' something for a day...maybe a week...then it was the next thing. Give it a few days...the next thing.

About 9 months ago I got serious. I took all the money my parents saved for college for me (which wasn't that much) and I went crazy on GREAT training from people who really knew what they were doing.

3 months later I was a full time internet marketer and completely replaced my 'job' income.

Then about 2 months ago I stopped getting scared. I was always trying to hang on and never took any risks at all. I was just staying afloat. So I figured that if I was able to live without a job for a few months that was already more than most people.

Then I went crazy again, took chances and did even more. Now I'm at about 3 times the income I had at my job.

Persistence I believe, this is one of the most important qualities towards success. It doesn't really matter how many times you fail, what matters is you get up and keep moving forward.

Productivity & persistence...

Cheers,

Gary

Well I can't say that I am a 100% successful in internet marketing. But I am making some money online and offline for quite many years.

My secret (well it's not a secret anymore since I am saying it in this post) is being patient, accept failures, be ready and adapt for change, and believing in my team.

Cheers!

First of all, you need to believe that you can succeed. Start to read motivational books and listen to audio each day.

You then need a plan in place that makes sense and that will move you forward to reach you goals.

You need to visualize success.

You need to be patient and persistent.

Never give up no matter what.

Write your goals and take action on them.

Take massive action.

Find out what works for you and what doesn't.

You have to believe in yourself.

Hey,Alpena, Your question is : What qualities are important to your success ?
You are very general in your question,and you must know the actual defination of
"Success". Mr Earl Nightingale,the early America's millionaire said, success is the
progressive realization of an ideal. Besides these qualities :

You then need a plan in place that makes sense and that will move you forward to reach you goals.

You need to visualize success.

You need to be patient and persistent.

Never give up no matter what.

Write your goals and take action on them.

Take massive action.

Find out what works for you and what doesn't.

There is in addition,you need to know the working of the brain in modern scientific
term. The latest Neuro-science has found out that we can perform extra-
ordinary things and achieve whatever course or goals we set our mind to.
This is because if you want to know the "Secret" I shall let you know. Our brain
works in two ways, implicitly and explicitly. It means it works consciously and
subsciously. The explicit function is what we use our brain in daily activities of
reasoning,doing our daily task and thinking our daily routine. But the implicit
part of the brain control most of the body's systems, such as breathing, the heart-beats,and the body immune system. And it works independent of the conscious
mind.
In additional we use only 2-4% of the conscious mind, and 96-98% of the
mind works subsciously. And I would like to let you know about a strange
phenomenal about the subscious mind. It has build-in automatic system called
psycho-psyper-mechanism, which is like that found in aeroplane. Let's say you are
travelling from United States of America to Hong Kong,and the pilot has set the course on auto-pilot. You will arrived at Hong Kong air-port without the pilot
attending to the aeroplane. And that is how you subscious mind works. let's
say you want to reduce weight, you worked hard taking exercises daily for some time
you will sure see some results at the beginning. However, after some time your
sub-conscoius mind will sabatoge the whole process, and you are reduced to the original state. That is why we made new year resolutions and never achieve the
desire goals.

In you case, you should ask yourself,what do I want from life,and be absolutely
clear about your intentions. With clarity, you can focus on the task you going
to take. Besides, you can do some meditation,visualizations and Precision
Affirmations daily for at least 15-30 minutes. This will keep your from distractions.
And when you focus on anything,it will expand. Say, you are worry about not being
able to pay your monthly household expenses. That is what you will get more of what you focus on. So much for time being. Thanks

To Your Success,
