Before You Give Up - For Anyone Struggling or Starting

We all know what it's like to feel overwhelmed about MMO. Some of you have been trying to make money for more than a few months, maybe even a few years. Success online can be easy and hard for others. The most important step to remember is to not give up. If you gave up today, how will you ever find out if you made money tomorrow. Just keep going, take it slow, stick to one idea. More often than not, the biggest mistake is giving into the hype. Learn to look past the sales page, learn to implement it rather than give into it.



and remember at least you're doing one thing nobody else around you is Following your dreams...

    I cannot agree enough with your advice of sticking to one idea.

    You see, a lot of the people that post in this forum post desperate threads regarding personal failure or lack of success because they are simply distracted.

    There is nothing intellectually wrong with them.

    It is not like they are unable to learn.

    It is not like they are programmed or destined for failure.

    No, they are just simply confused.

    The truth is in this market, there are just so many different options out there.

    It is very easy to get distracted, and it is very easy to get confused.

    The problem is if you want to make money online or offline, you have to focus.

    You have to direct all your energy into one particular objective.

    If you feel that there are so many other options out there worthy of your attention and energy, your energy is split up.

    Multitasking is always a bad idea.

    When you try to juggle many balls, most of them will fall.

    In fact, if you try to do two things at once, chances are you will do both equally bad.

    I cannot agree more with doing one thing at a time.

    As the old saying goes, where your focus goes your energy flows.

      Yes, it takes time to try out stuff, and you can be the most focused person in the world and still fail.

      I spent 2.5 years focusing my brains out with a website, and 7 years later it is still a dud.

      And l have whittled it down to what l am doing now, which are graphic products.

      As you are saying concentrate on one thing only.

      Only a matter of time before l make good money from this.

        I always like to say that marketers play baseball, not football. In baseball, there are many different positions to play and skill to possess, but you only have to concentrate on one thing. In football, you have to concentrate on many different things at once, and that's a good way to failure in this business.

        Master a skill or two and let them work for you. You don't have to be a jack of all trades if you know what skills play to your strengths and are strong skills or bloggers or whatever.

    So much motivation and information packed into this post. Thanks for taking the time to share. I am one of those people who tends to get caught up in multiple big ideas, but I do realize the importance of sticking to one and working directly on it. Great post- thanks for sharing.

    Man with business period whether it's online or off it's tough. The thing with online business is picking one thing and going with it.

    People get in with the mindset that their going to make money quickly and usually that's not the case.

    I've make 5 figures online to date, but still have yet to make consistent income.

    Even having made money online before in various ways there are still days I feel like it's just too much, but I keep on going because I can't see myself working for someone else.

    Keep at it. Figure out your why.

    Thank you for this post, Les Brown is powerful and all of you are powerful.

    Figure out your purpose, set goals that are congruent with it, envisions daily, do personal development daily, no shiny objects, focus, get it done, ignore the naysayers, get a mentor/associate with others who inspire you, be empowered, be passionate, assume responsibility for everything that happens to you and NEVER EVER GIVE UP.

    Where do you want to be? Is where you are now the experience you want? If not, what person must you become to achieve it? What steps do you have to take? What skills must you learn?

    Enjoy the journey, if there is struggle you are on the right track and paying the price of success.

    Great motivational video. One of the best things one can do to achieve success is to put himself in a sink or swim situation. There has to be a strong reason to keep going even when there is no instant gratification coming from your actions.


    You have to give up the things that are holding you back and truly commit to your success. Giving up shouldn't be an option. When you commit to something you must see it through to the end. Live and learn, make mistakes along the way, but never quit.
