I just got done posting What Drug Dealers Teach Us About Internet Marketing
And after I hit submit I realized something. If there is one thing you will learn very quckly in internet marketing is that hope is not a viable marketing plan. I can not over state this one point.
Hope is not an action plan.
I spent around $3000 this year on my internet marketing training because I hoped that the next shiny tool, software, or piece of advice would do half of what it promised. That is a lot of hoping.
But what I learned, and it cost me some money to learn it, is that HOPE is not an action plan. Hope does not put money in your pocket, hope does not pay a bill, hope does not get you from here to their.
Now I have been on the streets, dealt and done drugs, and everything between. I know what it means to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. I have sat in AA meetings and everything else. I know that hope heals and causes people to carry on. BUT IT IS NOT A ACTION PLAN
You can not be...
THAT Is not a plan...
What you need to answer is...
In other words quit hoping that this is going to work out and start needing this to work out. Those who make it in a larger majority are those who need for it to work out.

You can not be...
- Hoping that you make a sale
- hoping that you get rich
- hoping that somehow you will make it
- hoping you make enough to pay a bill
- hoping you make enough to quit your job
- hope~hope~hope
THAT Is not a plan...
What you need to answer is...
- How many articles are you writing
- How many backlinks are you generating
- How many affiliates are you promoting
- How many days a week are you working your plan
- How many products are you creating
In other words quit hoping that this is going to work out and start needing this to work out. Those who make it in a larger majority are those who need for it to work out.
