I think I'm just an average marketer trying to make a living online, however I don't think I am because I'm 16. Besides that, I don't feel like my results are anything like those internet millionaires. It's enough to make me feel very happy though and to buy me nice things =)

Every human being forms their own reality, beliefs, and opinions. Based for the most part on their surroundings and what he / she is presented with from day 1 on this forsaken planet and is therefore unique.

'average' is the same thing as 'normal', try to define either and you deserve a medal.

I agree that there is no clear universal agreement on the meaning of average.

I mean if average is just an honest person trying to make their way in life, then I think average can be quite common.

But, if average is not having the ability to be unique, then I obviously believe that nobody is average.

if you've hung out with me at all you would see right away I' not average. Got a few screws loose hehe

There are many facets of "average". If you pinpoint things in your life, you can be above or below mathematical average at that. Such as, I have an above average work ethic. But, I'm not sure as a whole somebody can be labeled as average

Average as in what?! Body, IQ, behavior?

I don't know if I'm average or not, but I am always trying to improve. I guess that means if I was average yesterday, then I'm above above average today. But, its very possible that yesterday I was below average, so then maybe I'm average today. Unless, of course, everyone is improving as much as I do. Then the average just keeps getting higher and I'm just doomed.

I'm below average.

My difference is patience. It gave me everything. It taught me how to organize knowledge. How to make changes in my life. How to meditate, relax. Taught me everything I know. Even how to believe in myself.

Without that I'd be waay below average.

With it I'm working my way towards an amazing life. Right now...I think I'm a tad above average in the way I live my life. But not by much. At least I enjoy myself everyday ; )

Can you be not average, by being average in everything you do?

Average makes me think of "just like most people", in which case I'd say no.

It's all relative and depends on who I'm comparing myself against. Regardless, I'm definitely below average and looking for a mentor to improve!

There is no such thing as an average person, but if there was, I would choose not to be it. Even if there was, how would we know?

what is meant by average? it depends...

Above average. it took a long time for me to get here tho. everyone has the seeds of greatness in them. some just find it quicker than others.

I am under the impression that average is not even average. There are unique and special qualities in everyone. Sometimes you just have to dig deeper to see them.

Dennis, I'm glad you caught on to that. I completely missed his post.

Mathew,

Two things separate the best from the worst in life.

Indirectly: Natural talents and coincidence. Yup..no joke. It's about genetics and how/where you were raised. Your environment. This directly affects our mindset.

Directly:This is the one true thing that separates everyone in life. It's our mindset and our belief systems.

So buddy here's what you can do if your sick of it. Pick up any book on mindset. I'd suggest you you take up Dennis' suggestion. It's a great book and it's been proven to have transformed thousands of people that think the same way you do. Try it out...just read it and apply it. See what happens?

What's the worst thing that could happen? Oh noo!! I wasted time reading a book on what sets apart millionaires from the rest of them....what was I thinking?

There's a lot more where that came from too...once you read, think about and APPLY this books you can come back for suggestions. A lot of people love to help out in this section. Sometimes we have contradictions but the one thing we in common. We are all striving for success here.

There have been a million rags to riches stories and they all said what you've said at some point....the only difference is jumping on opportunity when it comes along...so what's in gunna be dude?

It won't happen over night but it will happen....it's not a bad hobby to pick up either. Success improves every aspect in life that you can think of. ANYTHING!!

You could be the worst guy in the world when it comes to girls and sex but the only thing that makes a difference is applied knowledge. That's it!! Anything and everything applies to this.

No one is average. We are all individuals with our own strengths and faults.

Learn from your faults and build on your strengths!

Dude...give this a try.

It's a completely different framework. It'll be ground breaking for you I promise. I put my life on this product working for you as long as you apply it.

The Law of Success by Napoleon Hill

This has NOTHING to do with think and grow rich. It was a study of Ford, Carnegie, and Thomas Edison!! Trust me when I say I'm only on lesson 2 and my frame of mind sky rocketed. I'm in the process of building my first two businesses after planning for months...no joke man.

Give it a shot...go through one lesson a week for 17 weeks and you'll be a beast.

Why?

Because dude...I'm currently way in the dumps money wise...I've got no phone and no money, I'm kicking it in my mom's basement right now!! Of course this has nothing to do with my mindset and framework because I know it's already changed...the reality is I'm rich...I just have to be patient and wait for time to supply...not too hard...I mean time doesn't change

I'm in the process of building two multimillion dollar businesses. No doubt in my mind.

And Matt, has this concept hit you yet? If you've genuinely read all of these books this has to have come up time and time again.

Life is an illusion and the real magic trick in life is that it's up to you to make your own.

Also, I still would recommend and trust Dennis and his book.

If these two don't work out for you....then you can give up if you want to.

But personally, that's something I'll never do.

And Matt, your taking your time reading all of this material so why not take notes and find ways to apply the information you have? I mean it is your final battle right?

These two things alone will make or break you.

I'm certainly not average.

I wouldn't dare calm myself "average" by any means, and I
know what you mean by "average".

Mentally, I'm on top of my game, and I'm getting better
everyday I play. I'm not a "common folk", but I can relate
to the common people.

I feel like I'm one of the best at what I do in business, one
of the best in developing relationships, and one of the best
in getting what I want and discovering more and more how
not to stand in my own way - let alone let someone else
get in my way.

So, with respect, I'm far from average - but in no way do I
consider myself to be better than someone - I'm just very
confident in my own skin and what I do to know I'm better
than "average"

I'm awesome.

Matthew, I have a suggestion that you certainly don't have to follow:

Instead of trying to explain why you can't make money, go out and find a way to make money.

Start a free blog and sell all of those books you read!!

Then when you build up enough money gun for your first WSO on theory about thinking like a rich person...you can't do it yet but you sure know a lot about it!! Sell that on your blog too!! That's a quicker way to make money...

So: for a free way to start making money review products through bloggin...then launch your own. After that do a WSO on it.

All the while review the two recommendations that Dennis and I gave you.

That's all I have time for. If you don't take on my suggestion, I personally can't do anything for you...

I am very young, and people say I'm doing great and etc, so I really want to be a millionaire, and I know I will!

I think people have special values that if realized can lead to some amazing discoveries.

It is amazing to me how fast these posts morph into something so big.

The definition of average, to me, is not being different! Can''t say I've ever met someone who wasn't different...

I am not average in anything in my Life. Why? because I choose not to be average...

And Like Mr Napolean Hills says "You become what you think most of the time"

Well, if I think I'm average, I am. If I think I above average, I am. My background in
psychology, life skills & life experience has taught me that we all keep moving up & down the scales or Maslow's pyramid, so to speak. I have come across people who anyone in the market would think are doing below average by material standards, and are totally content with where they are. So while their basic necessities are barely met, they maybe at a state of self actualization. Some, who have achieved everything else on the pyramid, are still in a state of insecurity.

Definitely, the blueprint changes, genetics, learnt thought processes, exposure and most of all cognition, ability to use what you have learnt - application. Some of us are slow there. Been there myself.

There are several areas I see myself as above average, some are below, some just there. Overall, I have a good feeling about where I am heading. So, I guess I'm there!

I have a business. For a person who work for a salary I am unique. For a person who make millions I am average. I am unique to my customers because I am best at what I do.
I am an average guy in global picture but I am unique person in the whole universe.

Who am I? A Human!

I'd like to hope that I'm not average. I set myself goals and I work hard to develop myself in many different ways in order to reach those goals. Right now as I'm typing this I'm watching a video that is teaching me new skills - and I think that it's steps like these that stop me being average.

No, I think, I am above average. I am more than happy and earning more than expected. I think, one day, I will win the internet market.

The word "Average" does not exist for me. I see everyone including myself as unique, different, above average beings. We all have something to offer and we are all above average at something. So I choose to focus on that instead.

My personal thought is that none of us should view ourselves as just average. Because we are not !

The fact that we are on this forum and making a difference in the lives of others by posting our thoughts and opinions is above average in my book.

Have a great week everyone !

Kris !

No one is average. Everyone is who and what they are. Each has been given talents to be the best they can and achieve at whatever life gives them. Be the best at who you are and you will always be right where you belong.
