Newbies: If You Want to Make it in This Business You've Got to Work Your @ss Off

The hardest thing you can do with IM or anything for that
matter is the blood, sweat, and tears you have to put in
before you get any results.

I remember when I used to write 10-15 articles per day.
That was one of the most difficult, tedious things that I've
ever done. The worst part was that I didn't know if I would
make any money.

I hoped I would but I had no idea. After all, I was new to
the game.

But I kept doing it. I wrote 10-15 articles day after day.
I hated every minute of it but I knew that I had to do if
I wanted to get results.

During this time I finally got some data. I tested a few
things. And best of all...I finally started making money.

If I knew that I would make $200 per day by writing that
much at the time it would've made the work easier. Still not fun,
but it would've been easier.

But I had no idea. I didn't know if I was even going to
make a sale.

Once you get past the first hurdles it becomes a lot easier.
You can outsource articles although I still write most of mine. You
can start buying PPC traffic. You can hire someone for
marketing advice, etc...

But the first little while you're going to have to work harder
than you ever have to work in your life. And you'll have to do things
that you hate more than anything else.

But in the end, it's these things that will make the money. In the
end, it's what gets you the money to build a real business and
have the ability to take those 2 week vacations while things run
on autopilot.

It's easy to look at the greats like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods
and say you could live there life. What most people don't realize
is that Tiger Woods was playing golf 12 hours per day working on
his game before he ever won a tournament.

Michael Jordan was always the first to arrive and the last to leave.
That started in high school too. Not after he became a star and
started making a lot of money. The reason he became the star
was because of the work he put in to there and of course there was
no guarantee.
