A positive mindset won't make you successful (But this will)

True that.

There are a couple of things. The first is that success is an individual idea, what one person considers success is in all likelihood, not the same as what another person considers success.
The second is that a negative mindset is going to prevent you from being successful at almost any level, but again it depends on what you consider success. there area great many people - including many warriors - who appear to define success as copying others; even when those being copied are very negative in words and actions.

You can build a list by making a landing page providing a free report of some sort, or anything really that would act as an incentive to get them to give up their details. Then use solo ads, ad swaps, kindle, blog guest posts, forums, ppc, ppv and whatever else will work to get the landing page out and generating leads.

You persist by doing the appropriate searches and gaining the appropriate knowledge to accomplish that which you set out to do and actually follow through with it. Answers are everywhere. I havent bought more than a couple of WSOs here and there the last year or so and yet I am learning more and more each day just by asking the right questions.. Asking the right questions to Google and Youtube that is.

Sounds like you need a new master....

Hope this helps!

Forgive me, I was just sharing the theory which is repeated so often.

I am not putting my own personal efforts into list building. Although I do have a big interest and do believe soon here, I will be giving it a go.

I think I see where your issue may lay. Sounds like you have a more analytical mind. This is internet marketing, lol, all these products and services (for the most part) have remained unchanged. Its still the core concepts, but as with anything, as the internet changes and grows so does IM.

When you use tactics that circumvent having to actually learn how to engage and form a relationship with your customer... Look, they all sell the dream. But it is just that a dream. The product is no different than what the next guy is offering, so how do you stand out? How do you get a response? By selling yourself.

Look at the big guys, all the people making money all start out with the same deal. They show you the flash and then go straight into sharing their own lives and families. They get you to relate and connect with them. This is all pulling on certain psychological triggers.

This all is not what it appears to be. Stop looking at the magicians hands and notice the damn rabbit ear sticking out of the hat. Watch what most do. Actions, not words.

I find it hysterical, A person will have a product launch almost every 2 weeks to a month, on different subjects or the same doesnt really matter, but then the customers of this person actually think this person is doing fully what he says. I find that usually successful methods are taught by most after they have moved on to other strategies.

You want someone to give you the best and most updated info? Be prepared to make it worth their wild. Because you are then asking them to remove all of their motivation for succeeding and replaced it with complaining and whining (not you personally, but most, speaking in general).

I just dont get why most cant see this. There isnt enough time in the day to help someone else achieve his/her dreams and pursue your own.

How much have you seriously tested? Have you tried multiple different landing pages, different graphics, different copy, different traffic sources? Thats the thing with this industry (the rub), you can win if you are willing to keep trying and testing.

Im willing to bet you arent that far off either. An analytical mind is going to be really good at organizing and putting together a strategy but you will need to press yourself in order be creative and innovative, but thats seriously a huge part.

Im gonna share a short story with you. The first money I made online was unintentional, I had no list, I had no product, I had nothing. All I had was a friend I met online who lives halfway around the world.

As I was learning about different methods and strategies I would share them with him, because we had both just started working on a podcast together. After time he and I were the only ones who took the pod any seriously, so we ended up chatting a lot off air and discussing what we could to boost listeners, provide more entertainment and value to the listeners and fans of the show.

I can be a very passionate person. I can really motivate some. After a while of sharing information and really being passionate. One random day, I see in my email that I received $250.00 in my paypal. I didnt have a product or a list or some crazy untapped traffic source... My friend had sent me that money so that I could try and pursue some of the methods I shared with him, some of which were not even related to the show.

What happened there? I cant tell you exactly what it was that got him to do it, but it was a massive deal to me. He believed in me and my passion enough that without me even asking he sent me a good sum of money.

Stop looking at this like some kind of job or step by step consistent thing. Like you said big G came in and your whole operation fell apart. That should tell you that you didnt build it on a solid foundation and to be honest, Im surprised you didnt see it coming.

People want wealth but dont know how to be wealthy. Thats the truth. It does all start with attitude and decision making. They type of solutions you make and decide to work on are formulated in the mind before the situations arise to get those solutions out of you.

You can do it, but start to readjust the way you think. I mean seriously look into psychology and learn about people. What makes them tick. How can you sell anything to anyone if you dont know and understand who they are and what they want? Throwing a landing page up just like the sea of others, like you said doesnt stand out. How can you stand out? Sell yourself and by genuinely caring about your customer and express that.

I could rabble more
but will let you be

Seriously hope this helps
