Stop Expecting Miracles

We all know most fail at this because they think there is some kind of mircale grow which also make people chase shiny objects.

I went today and picked up an image and a video just to post this.

Here is the image:





See the length of time it took for the guy to get decent traffic?


And here is the video: Listen to what they say.

    Good post. You can't expect this to happen over night. It definitely takes time for every website to get an established amount of targeted traffic. Once you get one going and making you an income, you can keep doing the same system in other niches or build your site into something authorative. It grows exponentially at one point.

    A large problem with the failure rate is people expecting to much to soon, but that's largely due to the people trying to sell them their IM product that promises huge results in a small amount of time.

    That's very true. This was my case for about 2 years straight. I finally learned to stick with single project and FOCUS on it until it started producing a decent income. Then I was able to take profits from that project, scale things up, and then start a new project, using the profits from the first to fund the second. And so on....

    That has become my #1 piece of advice for those starting out.

    Expect miracles, but while you're waiting, do the work anyway.

    I like a line Gary Vaynerchuk said lately...

    Everyone is trying to be a 19-year-old dude. Everyone is trying to close too fast. Give it a little time. It’s so amazing what a soft sell can do.

    I like the video and understand what you are saying, but sometimes you get lucky.

    I believe the only solution is to stop procrastinating, focus and do the work. Yes, luck plays a role but still you'll get nothing if you solely wait for miracle or luck to happen.

      This is a joke, right?

      Because there's no vulgarity in the video at all...

    I guess it does take a while for some sites/products. Still, we all would love the pushbutton and collect cash (or easy button) solution, wouldn't we?

    Patience can be very difficult to master at times.

      You're correct. A traditional business takes anywhere from 2-5 years to create an actual profit. While an internet business certainly shouldn't take THAT long, there is a valuable lesson there.

    You are dead right. This IM needs patience.
    I personally have seen the ups and downs of this business. People are really expecting to start today and make thousands tomorrow.
    It doesn't work that way!
