    Stuck, am I alone?
    Yep, it's just you.

    What did you do after you made the sale?

    What were you doing before you made the sale?

    Did you employ any kind of tracking so you could determine how you made the sale you made?

    There are so many things we don't know that it would be impossible to analyze and tell you what you are missing in the picture - but you have now learned this.

    So what are you going to do about it?

    It's all about failing, and failing FAST. Knowing what is not working and what is or did work and ramping that up.

    Yes, you are alone.

    Because, you haven't let us know anything:
    What did you do to get that first sale?
    What have you done since making that sale?

    It easy to get stuck and get into a hoping game. You may need to rearrange something you are doing. Figure out what worked when you made that sale and try to implement the same tactics. Everything else that didn't work you'll want to shy away from. It's all about trial and error, and once you find something that works you need to stick to it and focus your efforts there. Work at it a bit and give it a chance rather than jumping from here to there. Remember that IM is always evolving and you constantly need to test and try new things. Since you already sold at least one item you at least have a starting point. Use it and build on it. Keep moving and focus your efforts on what works rather than being stuck

    You've just got to keep persevering. IM isn't always rainbows and lollipops and we are all bound to experience breakthroughs and breakdowns. See what caused your second product not to sell and see if you can optimize your strategy or create a new one.

    I have found that persistence is the difference between success and failure, while action is the context of success.
