If You Can't See Fear - Why Does IT Stop You?

I have been in this business for well over ten years, but for the first few years I constantly battled an unseen enemy - FEAR. IT had a paralyzing grip on me and squeezed away all of my self confidence.

Success finally came to me when I was able to come to grip with my fears and realized that I was the one who allowed IT to control me. While this may seem quite simplistic, I didn't just roll out of bed one day and have this revelation. It was a slow process that I had to master.

Every successful person must go through this process, there is no way to avoid it. Those who fulfill their potential are the ones who realize FEAR is nothing but an emotion that can be controlled.

You will never face a more worthy adversary than your own fear. It knows all of your weaknesses, and it will try to use them against you.

The thing about fear, is that it preys on your innermost demons. You can't hide these thoughts, because this dark force lives inside you. It hides in the shadows of your mind, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to pounce and create self-doubt.

Fear will manifest itself in many ways, and the more you feed it, the more control it has over your life.

If you want to be a successful online marketer, you must prepare yourself mentally to wage a personal battle against your inner demons and self-doubt. Your family and friends can only offer you so much support and encouragement, but in the end, you must fight this battle alone.

If you are serious about making money online, you must strive to become a professional marketer. In a nutshell, a professional is someone who does their job, no matter what the circumstances are. They have fear just like everyone else, but they don't let it control them. In fact, many professionals use it as a motivating factor to achieve their goals (I.e. fear of failure).

Learning how to control your fear won't happen overnight, but with practice, it can be done. Becoming self-confident isn't something that just happens. It is a state of mind you must put yourself into.

You must teach your mind how to react to negative thoughts, and push these thoughts away with positive thinking.

To become a successful online marketer, it is almost a requirement that you think in a positive manner. You must visualize your own success, even before it happens.

Remember, if you allow fear to control your life, you will have something much worse to live with:

Regret.

Sadly, you can't control regret, because it is an emotion based on a past event. It is no longer something you can change.
