Do You Really think IM Is Luck?

I'd rather they kept complaining than put in the work to create a real business. If those spammers/scammers knew what the same amount of work could get them with real business strategies they would be some tough competition .

For JohnMcCabe its luck and when there is no more loophole in the system, i guess you would also run out of luck?

Great post I was actually thinking something similar but didn't want to offend anyone.

I TOTALLY AGREE,

The way I see it there are two kinds of Internet Marketers. Those who search around blackhat forums looking for the next great exploit, scam or loophole to make them fast cash before anyone else finds it.

For those people I do think luck is a significant factor. If they stumble upon a great new idea they can do very well indeed. I guess they are like gold prospectors in way, panning at the stream everyday making a few dollars here and there, praying for the day they hit the motherload.

Then there are those who are trying to build a business by providing a service or products that people actually want. For those people luck isn't much of a factor. Its all down to talent and hard work, like any other enterprise.

Of course you need luck..its just you need to manufacture it!

IM is one of the best businesses in the world to be in.

You need very little experience, very little capital (if any), no property (shop or office), no staff, no bad debts, can work from anywhere in the world, can trade with people all over the world (not restricted to the folks in your hometown that might be feeling the pinch right now) and if a product fails then it needn't bring the house down.

You just move on, don't you? Or, if you prefer, you can feel sorry for yourself and blame bad luck. Giving this as a reason why you haven't moved on to the next product or niche which might turn out to be a huge success for you.

Life is a load of stepping stones and doors. Going from one to the next, never knowing until you open the next door what might be awaiting you on the other side.

From my experience even some of my failures have later been of use because life changes. Markets change. Systems change and technology changes.

The important thing is not to forget the lessons you learn from these set backs. In the future you may hear a little bell ringing in your ear which is trying to say to you that the idea that failed some time before may now fit in with what you are now seeing before you. And with your experience of "failure" you might be better able to take advantage of an opportunity than the next person.

It might just click in to place. An old idea might now work when it didn't before.

So, are you one of those people who says "The glass is half empty"? Or are you someone who says "The glass is half full"?

You can decide. You can change. Failure and negativism does not have to control your life and your level of success. You can take control.

Just remember, without the lows you would never appreciate the highs.
