For Those Thinking It's Too Late

30 replies
Was just browsing the Clickbank marketplace and just noticed that one of
the products in the top 50 under Money and Employment was from one of
my old students, so to speak.

This person came onto the scene way after I did and now is having amazing
success.

For those thinking that the big guns who broke in 10 years ago are the
only ones with a real chance...this is living proof that this is just not so.

Anybody, at any time, can become a super successful business person.

All that's needed is dedication and hard work.

    That's pretty inspiring, Steven. (there seems to be quite a few of those stories around Warrior Forum....I'm really starting to like this place...lol)

    There is so much room to maneuver its unreal. Even in the over saturated IM field there is still plenty of room to do very well. Just because a niche is crowded doesn't mean that everyone in it is doing well or even doing things right.

    Take the time to learn the basics, apply them and find a way to separate yourself from the others in your niche and you will see amazing results.

    I have focused primarily in the "offline" niche for years now, but have more recently delved into "internet marketing", especially the "make money" niche...which is severely overcrowded....and I am doing great! I actually am kicking myself for not doing it earlier.

    So Steve is 100% correct.

      Keith, for me, the greatest feeling, seeing this person having this kind
      of success, is knowing that at least one person who I've had a chance
      to influence has learned something, not only from me, but from all the
      other influences they may have had.

      Sometimes I wonder if I am doing any good at all. And then I see things
      like this and they remind me that maybe I am.

      It's a feeling that is absolutely impossible to describe.

        I agree. I have tutored people in the offline niche myself, and of course there are some who really never apply themselves or what you have shown them, but damn, its all worth it when even ONE person emails you telling you of their success.

        Its just to bad there are not more success stories, but hey, take what you can get eh?

        Hi Steve

          My comment has less to do with my own confidence than in my
          disappointment that most people, and you know this is true, just don't do
          anything. So sometimes I feel, and I am sure others feel the same way,
          like I am beating my head against a stone wall.

          But it has nothing to do with my own self worth or how I feel about myself.

          As far as I am concerned, I have nothing to feel badly about as far as my
          own personal self worth.

          Hope this clears that up.

    Start now. After five years you will think it's already too late and the real opportunity was 5 years ago (now). Start now, with all this information you can get for free now it have never been easier. And after few years due growing competition it is going to be really hard. So it haven't ever been as easy as it is now, and it won't be anymore as easy as now! Don't wait for the next day, week or year. START NOW!!! NOW IS BEST OPPORTUNITY YOU WILL EVER HAVE OR HAD!

      You should have a higher opinion of yourself. I understand humility and respect it but... You must realise that your story is one that keeps others motivated to keep on keeping on.

      Just saying...

        What does my admiration for somebody's success have to do with my
        opinion of myself? :confused:

        Sorry, but you have totally lost me on this one. :confused:

    There is always a chance to make money in any industry. Some are better than others but I believe that people who think money can't be made are just subject to limiting beliefs.

    You will only be stopped by the level of thinking that you currently have.

      I think that if someone think that something is impossible, then his thinking is limited. Possible is everything!!! There are just things that is very hard to do or we don't know how to do them yet. There are more than billions of billions secrets in universe. If someone says that teleporting is impossible and you think he is crazy, your thinking is limited. EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!! It's just that we don't know how to do that (or maybe few of us know how to, they are just hiding it ).

    Thanks Steven, for sharing this.
    It is inspiring to say the least.

    I'd like to add that in order to achieve success with IM, a person must be aware of what it takes and what is involved to then consciously decide to treat it as a business. This may sound like a 'cliche', but still too many overlook this important point. There is, certainly, a lot to learn and a lot of work involved. Once the conscious decision to pursue this business is made based on this premise, it'll be easier to overcome the disappointments with the inevitable failures that happen along the way, as well as to commit to constant learning until we find what works for us. Decision, commitment and perseverance are the name of the game.

    IMHO,
    Tammy

      Thanks Steve...Hey, I see you're a blues guitarist. I'm a songwriter. Have
      you heard any of my tunes up at YouTube?

      You might get a good chuckle out of them.

      Anyway, thanks for the kind words. I really do appreciate them.

    Well, you know what they say: if your students' students aren't successful, neither are you.

    I agree with you that it takes hard work. I will sometimes spend 12 hours or more learning, reading, and doing what I learn. My problem has always been looking for the "shiny object" and not staying on task. I think that is part of hard work. Maintaining the course.

          Precisely. If there have been a million successful businessmen coming before you, there is still plenty room for you to succeed.

    We are involved in the greatest opportunity of our collective lifetimes... Many years from now, people will look back on these days the same way that the industrial revolution is often looked upon now.... Only, the opportunity is so much greater now! It is available for almost everyone -- and I believe we are still in the first inning of this ballgame. Steve is right, it is far from too late!

    Great post, Steven! Too many newbies keep rationalizing to themselves that internet marketing is saturated, there is too much competition, etc. They can be so negative and just have that overwhelming 'scarcity' mentality, but the internet is STILL ripe for the picking - they're just robbing themselves of ANY chance at being successful in IM by thinking this way! All it requires is dedication and focused action, but unfortunately with all the information overload and the "latest, greatest thing" continuing their assault on the newbies, it can be really hard to see the forest for the trees in IM.
