The Single Most Important Thing That Brings Success

194 replies
Hi Warriors ,

What is the single most important thing that brings success.

I Know , success is a combination and integration of multiple things.

But , what do you think there is the key that triggers all other things ?

Every thing you mention should be related to success in building a successful online business .

    Hi Mike

    I still feel like a total beginner in Internet Marketing and although I have certain technical skills which are very useful in running a successful online business, I'm not sure those skills are what are going to make em successful. I think they will help a lot but I think my determination to make it work will get me there in the end.

    Thanks and look forward to other's replies.

    Cheers, Harry

      Success is a combination of many things but it's made of one main product. YOU!!!!!
      Whether you achieve your goals or not, live up to your words, and learn how to become successful.

    Success comes from belief and belief is the mother of expectation. Even notice how some people consistently run into roadblocks, barriers and walls? These people will go on about how all the opportunities are gone and how the world is so unfair and how the government should level the playing field and on and on and on...

    Then there are people who consistently go out and simply get things done. For the most part, they're positive and don't dwell on failure because to them, there is no failure, only learning.

    Both of these types harvest results according to their expectations, beliefs and attitudes. And it all begins with their thinking.

    Some would say that we're wired a certain way and that we can't change who we are. And that simply isn't accurate. It's true that if a person comes from a positive and nurturing environment it's probably easier to be positive in his or her daily activities and reap the benefits of their positive attitude. But what about those who came from dysfunctional environments? Do they even have a chance? Of course.

    But first they must recognize that their thoughts create their reality. Then they must want to change that reality. Finally, they must take action to change it.

    They might start with their self talk. People who are successful engage themselves in positive dialog most of the time. People who manage to find little more than obstacles in life, either consciously or unconsciously, are consistently telling themselves, in a number of non-nurturing ways, I can't, it won't, it never will, etc.

    The key to change is to recognize these patterns and immediately stop the pattern once recognized. Some wear a loose rubber band around one wrist. When they notice a non-productive thought, they snap the band to the underside of the wrist (where is really smarts) and interrupt the thought. This helps to break the pattern. After a while the brain realizes that non-productive thoughts are uncomfortable. Easy, huh?

    But that's not enough. Stopping the non-productive thinking is only half the challenge. They then have to fill the void where the untoward thoughts once lived. This is where they can repeat a positive affirmation. A good start would be to simply say, "I am worthy, I am successful, I am love, I am abundance." These are all good starts.

    Simple? Yes. Easy? You decide.

      Awesome you brought it home travlinguy. I like what you just said its true.
      You just have to be a Yes i can kind of person.
      If you think you can't believe me even your articles and your blog post will reflect it. Internet marketing is not hard, you will meet with barriers along the way, they are learning points, every business has such times. believe me if internet marketing was very easy why isn't everyone making millions, success is just comes from inside, believe it see it and you will have it, regardless of the barriers you meet on the way, you will get there,
      The more barriers the more lucrative it is(that's the mentality)
      Success is inevitable, if you really want to have it, you will get it.
      Why were you bought into this world, yes to contribute positively and by being successful you are just full filing your destiny.
      If you feel doubtful about writing an article in a very highly competitive niche, i say go ahead and write it, you will certainly get traffic and who knows you might just make a sale. get rid of doubt replace it with belief.
      You have the true power inside of you. use it. and as far as things go
      Yes you can.

  • The single most important thing in building a successful online business is a Concentrated Mental Focus.

    For some, such a concept may seem too abrupt, and they may hesitate because a thought tells them that the solution for them cannot be so simply assessed or resolved. To those, I submit that your uncertainty is the direct result of not realizing and capitalizing on the answer in your own mind as of yet; further, that if you set aside all your chasing after exotic, distracting methods, you can turn your attention to the singular task of strengthening THE ONE SKILL, and everything else will take care of itself.

    That simple skill in hand, every function and power of your Mind turns itself to the development and achievement of your CRYSTAL CLEAR OBJECTIVE.

    This UNIFIED MINDSET is not subject to the effects of contradictory impressions or distracting impulses that may arise within or without - those impractical things that cause others to wander off course repeatedly to chase after schemes and deceptive shortcuts.

    From that SINGULAR MENTAL STATE, you possess and you EMBODY the unassailable focus, iron will, steady discipline, uplifting inspiration, ceaseless motivation, and passionate energy spoken of in all the great, true works on Success ever written.

      Especially in online business you really need to have a strong will and determination. However, you need to choose your product well as well. You do not want to find out when you get there that your product is not selling whatever you do.

  • I believe the essential of success is knowing what you want and staying focused on it (or crystal clear focus as DynamicMentalFitness says). Success can only be achieved if you know what it looks like for you. When you have that, you can start taking steps to make it happen.

    Best regards

      Learning to habitually pay attention to those things which bring us feelings of joy, peace and harmony - this makes them our true priorities.

      We usually become fixated on issues that distract us because they evoke feelings that threaten or alarm us - fear, doubt, sadness and depression, anger, resentment, and the like. Other distractions involve a lack - lack of money, lack of success, lack of love, etc, We focus on trying to "solve" these issues with logical analysis.

      When that fails, we persist and remain focused on those things we do NOT want so that our focus of attention is shifted away from what we want and in effect our true/actual priorities are those distractions.

      Learning to habitually shift attention to what we REALLY want keeps us creatively focused and able to enjoy feelings of harmony, well-being and success.

      Our true priorities are those things we ACTUALLY (and persistently) pay attention to.

      If you want to know your true priorities, just look around - it's what you are already receiving!

      Success requires an alignment between what you REALLY want (love, health, prosperity, etc) and what you ACTUALLY pay attention to - your true priorities.

      If we remain focused on lacks and problems (being overweight, sick, poor, unloved, etc) THEY are effectively our actual or true priorities. Our creative energy is directed towards stress, anxiety, and problem-related issues.

      When we make the DESIRED end result our true priority by increasing our awareness of it, our creative energy is directed towards constructive thinking, less stress, becoming alert to new possibilities, increased physical energy and a drive to positive action.

      If you want something better, change what you habitually pay attention to.

      Thanks for the many fantastic suggestions.
      For me, the single most important thing is to adopt the PDCA - plan, do , action and check methodology.
      Follow it with your heart.

      I agree with you, Jared. Equally, important is your belief system. When you have a success belief system it will motivate you to do everything to be successful including taking right action at the right time in a right manner that brings success.

        The thing is: what success means to John Doe (for example) isn't necessarily what success means to me. I may not be a successful internet marketer yet - bringing in the big bucks, but I am a successful mother, among other things.

        In order to know or use what brings success to you, you have to know and understand what success means to you. What is your definition of success?
        Once you define (in all honesty, I might add) what success means to you, then you can do all those things you need to do to get there.

          For me, never giving up. There are many many obstacles along the way, and I'm not only talking about IM. Life in general is full of obstacles, but like I tell my son all the time, when we want to achieve something, we have to work hard. Nothing comes easy. Perseverance I think is the right word. It's easier said than done, but I think it is the key.

        Renewal of the Mind will do the trick. You see as long as your mind is not transformed from the state of fear, or thoughts of failure, etc......Nothing will work out!!!

        Many people think people don't like to take action.......maybe but maybe not!

        You see some people want to take action but they are slaves to what is speaking and working in their mind. So they will try and vaguely believe they can succeed but those neural pathways in their brain are too strong to be broken easily.

        But if they absolutely believe and decide to fight for succes and speak to their lives that they will make it, then they will succeed eventually.

        Whenever you mind is renewed, you will have enough space for creativity, you will have favour upon you to attract the right people your way, you will be energised to carry out your tasks.

        Conclusion
        Be transformed by the renewal of your mind!!!

          Renewing is one of the techniques to boost or energize your mind .

          But , do you think it is the most single factor ?

            Renewal of The Mind is a critical success factor. I can see a few people have been pointing out, persistence, perseverance, etc That's is good and believe that too. But if your mind is not fully renewed, you won't be able to persist, because you will see yourself as a grasshopper. Therefore you don't have any extra energy from within to move forward.

            Those who persist, persevere, take action, disciplined, etc; have a renewed mind already. So they are now able to see clearly and believe in themselves that they can succeed.

            It's easy to persevere if you have a renewed mind. Most people are not scared to stop watching tv, or to work for many hours as long as they know they will make it or have that million dollars at the end of the year.

            But, why they spend time doing useless things, buying loads of programs, or watching too many dvds is because they are captives of fear.

            Renew their mind and you will see they will persist to achive their goals.

            There is noway, you can

    Now, go. Look neither right, nor left, knowing the footfall of each step is one bit closer to the target.

    A bit of wind here, a storm there - what of it? See the target. Look neither right, nor left; knowing the footfall of each step...

      Vincent--

      Excellent post!

      Perserverance is a most amazing power.

      It can make a king of a pauper, a saint of a wretch, and any one of us into insanely wealthy human beings.

      Of the 13 factors that Napoleon Hill taught of as being the essential keys to accumulating success and wealth, persistence is the one on which he expended the most effort and information, because it is the one thing necessary to fully collect the other 12 factors for one's self.

      If a person were to study and then practice the skill and attitude of relentless, unceasing momentum forward, everything necessary thing would make its way to their possession.

      For the next six months, I'm making the mastery and experience of the Power of Persistence my number one priority.

      There may be no heroic connotation to the word persistence, but the quality is to the character of man what carbon is to steel." -- Napoleon Hill

    Great question, I just had someone ask that. I have heard about every answer in the book. I was in the league years back(NFL) and we had so many powerful speakers that was brought in and many of them were not out pushing a website or book (they didn't need to). One answer stands out and that is you have to get all FOUR parts of your mind to get along. Once you've done that you have that peace and anything you put your mind to, make money, lose weight, find a perfect partner, it all comes easy because you are not constantly fighting your self. Once you know how to get everything agreeing then you are on the right path.

      Recently, I just made the transition from the job market to working from home on a full time basis. Must admit, never really had a job that was difficult. Since college, had a full time position with Penguin Books, based out of London. They later merge with Viking press. Boy was that fun!

      Had an air travel card, and travel around the world. When I came home to the states The company gave me a car, and expense account. I traveled through Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. Later became the regional manager, and move on to various other Marketing Positions.

      Can tell you this, working from home is fun also, but let warn you. It’s not what you think it is. A typical day for me starts with getting up at 4:30 in the morning, and making a pot of coffee, and walking the dog.

      Hate doing the technical stuff, so I outsource all most all of it. Spend all day writing, and writing, until about 9:30 or 10:00. But, I love every moment. Work on Saturday and Sunday sometimes, but not all day. Don’t watch TV, maybe the news while having a glass of wine.

      Now, here is the fun part. The freedom!! Whenever my wife I want to, pick and go. We did it the week before Thanksgiving, we went up to Foxwoods, and stayed at the MGM Grand

      Have a laptop, and while she is sleep I work (LOL) well what are you going to do? If I had to give someone advice on how to achieve this, it would be this. Just start writing everyday, and keep during it as long as you can. Write in forums, message boards, you name it. If you are not a good writer than take a basic writing course, and get going.


      Jimmy.

    I honestly think it's focus, and focus is one thing really underrated by internet marketers.

    I think a lot of us operate well below our productivity level because online marketing requires the absorption of a lot of information fast. With new ideas, methods and marketing tools popping up everyday it's easy for us to be looking at one thing while neglecting the other initial priorities.

    Great question! I personally believe one of the keys is persistence and mental toughness. On the road to success you will face obstacles and challenges and be told by others that it can't be done.

    All the talent or degrees in the world won't matter if you don't have a strong enough "why" to push through the challenges.

    Thanks!

      Everything mentioned above is important, but if you want success brought to your front door, you'll have to refer to something other than the physical. And in order for that to work, its your belief system that creates this reality.

      You're beliefs are the "single" most important ingredient as that creates your reality.

      Just about everything else is an effect of these belief systems.

      Notice how all/most the replies here are just "beliefs" and are not real, fact , or tangible. Everyone has different beliefs about whats important. My belief is belief systems are most important because belief systems create perception of reality.

      Determination, action, planning, focus, hard work, thoughts, feelings, are all good, but at the core its your beliefs about everything that really matters.

      There are many things that can lead you to success. I think that they are all important in different degrees, but all important none the less. Missing one of these things will lessen your chance at being successful in Internet Marketing or just about anything you do.

      The way I see it is that first there has to be a NEED or DESIRE to get you started. Lets use IM as an example. So you either NEED or DESIRE more money to pay off debts. You have a need to be debt free and the possibility of becoming an Internet Marketer comes to mind.

      Then after analyzing the need or desire you will come to the realization that you can or can't do it. That is where BELIEF comes in. You go through your checklist. Do I have a computer? Do I have the technical knowledge? Can I learn what I need to know? etc...

      After going through your checklist you realize that you CAN do this so on to the next step in the process. GOAL PLANNING. You have a need to get somewhere but without a physical map of how to get there, how do you know when you got there or what steps to take to get there?

      Now you have a plan and you are DETERMINED to be successful. So with that determination you must get DISCIPLINED and FOCUSED. Without determination, discipline and focus on the end goal and your map to get there, it might end up being a losing battle.

      So PERSERVER and you will be able to meet your goals. Just make sure that you do your GOAL PLANNING so you know how to get there!

      Wishing you and everyone on WF a Merry Christmas and may everyones goals be met in the New Year!

    I think Dennis Becker states it perfectly in his book $5 a day...focus. Focus on one thing, finish and master that. It's so easy to get side tracked trying to make money online. There are so many ways to make money and so many ways to market. Jumping from one project to the next was the biggest obstacle for me in creating success.

    I'm going to cheat and say the single most important things which brings success is attitutude/mindset and action. If I had to chose one it would be attitude/mindset. Because many externally successful people aren't happy and vice versa.

    Agree with zig zag, keep it simple.

    I worked for years as a psychologist and have seldom met two people who have exactly the same view on....What is the single most important thing that brings success.

    My own simplistic view is to be happy doing what you're doing, and to re-iterate zig zag, I believe that attitudes, beliefs and behaviour are the 3 key attributes.

    The 'behaviour' element is the taking action based on your attitude and beliefs. The skillsets and so on will follow if you have these three (ie you will take the attitude that 'learning' is worthwhile, but balance it with trial behaviour ie action). You must of course have the self belief that you can make it too!

      I agree this is the essential trio for success. However I think attitudes and behaviors come from someone's belief system. So if I have to choose one single attribute as most important I think it is belief.

          The single most important thing that brings success is making your self as useful as possible to others. We should measure success based on how much we give rather than how much we receive. It also works nicely the other way around since those who give more almost always will also receive more.
          If you focus on applying this, others will realize the value they get from you and they will attract more people to come to you. These new people will also realize the value they get from you and they will attract even more people to come to you. The virtuous cycle begins and you are now on your way to success.

        A few others have said it... but, Action is the key. EVERYTHING else is optional.

        You can believe... you can have faith, burning desire, inspiration, motivation, friends, money, good ideas, big ideas, partners, dreams, persistence, determination, purpose, attitude, patience, money, brains, or family, or whatever...

        BUT, none of those will do anything without Action. Every single one of those are optional... All of them! Think about it...

        You know complete idiots that have have made it... you know poor people, you know jerks, you know you know lazy people, uninspired people, losers, loners, copycatters... those that have made it on the first try, those that have made it dispite a bad attitude.... those that have made it starting with zero money... those that have started something they don't even want... those that did it on accident...

        But, the one thing that they all did... was take some sort of action!

        Don't get me wrong, I think most of the other things increase your chances... but they are all optional on their own.

        Action is the ONLY thing that is absolutely necessary, no matter what.

        With that said...
        Remember, Tomorrow has become Today (many times over)... stop F'ing around and take action today!

    In the past, the one thing that always held me back from experiencing success was lack of patience. I always wanted to find the shortcut to making money. I never wanted to put in the work, but rather find a way to outsmart everyone else. Nothing wrong with thinking smart, but you need patience. Real success does not happen overnight. Have the determination, put in the work, and you WILL experience success.

    For me what gave me the success I have achieved over the past few months was a burning desire to change my financial circumstance and NEVER EVER giving up or losing sight of my goals.

    I constantly visualize my purpose and I see it so clearly in my minds eye that I know without a shadow of doubt that I cannot and will not fail. NO MATTER how bad things got or will possibly get.

    If you don't develop that burning desire for success and you don't see yourself as successful (even if you aren't their just yet) nothing will change. Your mindset/subconscious can be your best friend or it can be your worst enemy. I chose to make it my best friend.

    You also have to act on what you desire. Just believing you are successful by itself does nothing.

    Hi,

    I think the single most important quality is a Definiteness of purpose or a single goal to aim for.

    The biggest problem in internet marketing is information overload. If you have too many other things going on you will become distracted and give less to all your other projects. Just pick one and give it your all until it is successful or until you can see it won't be, in which case get out and do something else.

    Good Luck to everyone.

    The Single most important factor to success is not action, focus, perserverance, determination or any other virtue...

    These are all an "effect" or a "result" of one or more beliefs.

    Go ahead and try to take action or preservere or focus on something where you have contradictory beliefs...

    Think of everything you dont have... everything that comes hard to you... everything that you procrastinate on and you will find you have beliefs that resist.

    Until the belief changes the behavior will never change.

    Will power is useless...

    This is THE SECRET to why things come easy for some and hard for others.

    If your beliefs are aligned with your intentions then you are "in the zone" and you feel a certain euphoria - you dont experience "work" anymore because it all becomes play.

    You are only supposed to do one thing with your conscious mind:

    Experience life.

    You are only supposed to answer 2 questions with your conscious mind while your are experiencing life:

    1. how are things now?

    2. how would I like things to be instead?

    Your subconscious is here to do all the "work" in getting YOU from where you are (the answer to the first question) to where you want to be (the answer of the second question).

    The conscious mind does the experiencing and the subconscious does the "working".

    Most people mix these 2 up...

    Belief in yourself and a positive attitude will always set you on the path to success... Above all else you need to take ACTION and be prepared to fail - because you will!

    It is how we deal with these "setbacks" that really matters. We take on board all failures/setbacks, learn from these, and progress further.

    Life is always challenging in every aspect, and to be honest if it wasn't and everything was easy - how boring life would be!

    Hello Omari Taylor here,

    You know I think the most important thing that brings success is Mindset. You really can't begin to do anything and be successful without the right mindset. Things are going to happen on your road to success that will make you want to slow down or quit. An without the right mindset you will. Especially if you have a employee mindset. I can all most guarantee you will fail. So make sure you have the right mindset and then take action toward reaching your goals and becoming successful.

    A great element to always be aware of, is your thought pattern. The way your mind works is simple: it's an upward spiral, or a downward spiral. It's up to you to literally choose which to think of. Also, your mindset will help you immensely when tough decisions or situations arise.

    So how do you develop a better mindset? Constantly be aware of your thoughts. I've heard it be referred to as 'meta cognition' before. When you are able to connect the dots between your thought patterns, not only will you be able to realize them and improve them, but also learn a lot about yourself! It's truly incredible.

    What three principles should we all try to aim for?
    1. Think GOOD thoughts
    2. Speak GOOD words
    3. Do GOOD things

    The principles above will bring you so many different kinds of success; emotional, financial, and health wellness.

    Yours in true success,

      Besides all the great post above. In my own words:
      1. Fear Not. Just get out there and learn by doing.
      2. Focus - it's easy to get overloaded.
      3. Team work - if you're lucky. Two heads ARE better than one, if they share the same goal.

          Make Resistance your ally and friend. It tells you what you should be doing every moment of every day. If it feels hard and difficult and painful it is probably what will take you on the path to your soul's true outcome.

          Giving in to Resistance slays your dreams.

          The easy path of least resistance may feel good in the short term but it won't satisfy your inner self, the one you know deep down wants you to face up to the challenges of getting to the place you are destined to be.
          Old fashioned virtues; courage, perseverance,integrity.

    In order to succeed with anything, you must first visualize yourself in the poition you desire. Some people don't believe it can happen, so in return, it doesn't. You have to put good energy out to the universe. Also, you need to keep reinforcing your goals and benefits. Why do you want to work online? How much money do you want to make per month? What type of car do you want to drive? Things of this nature will help you in becoming successful.

    I mean tons of stuff has been mentione din this thread - and all of it is true. You need a real mix of things to be successful.

    If had to choose just one - it would be perseverance. Anyone who has success knows that your ability to recover from failure will be tested - maybe more than once.

    Bouncing back from failure with renewed purpose and whatever you learned from that failure (all failure is a lesson) will lead to success.

    Belief is the king... it is what transforms your thinking into positive decision making, deciding on what to do
    Then a chain starts...I have a belief that i can acheive X. To achieve X i start planning for it. Since i believe i ll achieve it so i think differently on all the possibilities on how i d achieve it so my thinking will be different then before. Then i ll start doing on what i have just thought about/planned/decided. "
    Working on it also means preparing for new things, this i ll learn while planning/thinking in my new improved state of mind.
    While working i also keep some time rethinking and reflecting on the progress and hence the cycle continues...

  • Profile picture of the author josephkerr
    The most important thing to bring success, really, the only thing that can bring success is failure. And I mean that quite literally. Not in the sense that "you need to learn from your failures in order to be successful." But rather... success on the one hand doesn't make sense at all unless there is something else we recognize as failure on the other. If you get rid of one they both disappear.

    I think the best illustration of this is can be summed up by addressing this issue of belief and desire that keeps popping up.

    To say that thought and belief create your reality, as it keeps being repeated here, is to say that your entire experience is limited to the realm of thought.

    That's like saying that smells create your reality. It's true, but it's not the whole truth. Sights, sounds, feelings, tastes and thoughts also create your reality. And for those lost in a world of abstractions, it's very useful to go out of your mind and come to your senses once in awhile.

    There is a vast world outside of thought, and in reality it's much more accurate to say that rather than create your reality, thought measures it. In the same way inches don't create space, thoughts and beliefs don't create our reality.

    The meaning you give to those measurements is your own business.

    But all this is critically important to understand because succeeding is a fun game to play, but for those who don't fully understand it for what it is... life will always be full of exhausting struggles and disappointments that will sap the energy and joy right out of you. If you *must* succeed... you'll never enjoy it.

    Very good question. I've enjoyed reading all of the comments and seeing how interconnected they are.

    My vote is on persistence because I believe every other approach will be tested. Belief will be tested. The burning desire will wane and flame out on Wednesday but pushing through and not quitting through Thursday and beyond will empower all of the other contributions to success to ultimately make a difference.

    Never give up!

      Second and this is big and hard and ugly. If you are doing it successfully, please tell me how...tell everyone how.

      Live in the present. Act in the present.

      Tomorrow will bring what it may but you don't have a clue yet just what that will be so don't even think about it.
      As for yesterday...I shouldn't even have to say. It's gone so it deserves not another care.
      What are you doing right now... this moment?

      You should be living exactly where you decided to...

    I do believe that self determination and hard work leads to success. But there are lots of people who don't know how to execute them.

And there are two types of success: success within a short time and success after a long time. I wish everyone succeed in life.

    I would say desire is the most important factor.
    Belief and desire are connected. Belief is something that motivates you. Oops... Lol
    I've just realized that belief is more important then desire. And I think this WOW moment makes this forum worth to visit.
    Belief gives you desire to realize your goal. Failures kill both desire and belief. But strong belief in what you do helpы to regenerate desire and continue follow your dream.

    spelling errorIt's difficult to say what single charcteristic (if any) is more important than all the others in succeeding online because some people already have persistence, for example, 'wired in' but don't have the judgment to realise that they are persisting with something that's not going to work.
    But it's pretty certain that nearly everyone who's arrived at WF Success Forum must already have belief in themselves or at the very least believe that there is a way that they can achieve success for themselves.
    I think that intelligent persistence is what has got me to where I am now - that's not to say that I'm very intelligent but I've always been persistent, maybe driven even!
    But an ordinary amount of intelligence is required to make me realise that what I'm persisting with isn't working and maybe I should try a few variations to see if I can get something else to work.
    I also don't see why any online venture should require different characteristics from any other business - different skills, maybe but you can be very skilful and still not believe you can make a success of an online business or you could just give up without properly applying your skills!

    I think that first of all, success comes from the right mindset... You need to be prepared for highs and lows, have some goals and stay motivated no matter what.

    It also helps to be in the right place (ie: the right forums, and the right course etc).

    You need to be teachable as their are always a lot of things to learn and if you go at it in a "I know it all" attitude, you are likely to fail... Internet marketing is a business which constantly evolves, even the guru's are still learning.

    I think a commitment to continuous, positive action is the most important. Belief is great, but, without action, it gets you nowhere. It is also possible, I think, to act against your beliefs and still get closer to success. As in, "I don't think this new marketing ploy will work, but I will dedicate a month to trying it."

    Lack of belief will not make it NOT work if it is a quality method that is applied properly.

    For me, the two most important things that bring success are passion and focus.

    Passion is what drives you toward your goals and gets you to overcome the hurdles that hold your progression back.

    Focus is what steers you in the right direction and keeps you on the right path.

    Focus defaults me frequently. I need to work on this.

    It's belief. If you don't believe it you can't achieve it.
    I think it all comes from that.
    and of course the need to eat. If you don't eat you die. End of story.

    In my view, the single most important factor in deciding success is persistance. Read interviews with the most successful people in their fields and you'll find out they say more or less the same. Persistance is more decisive in the long run than intelligence, talent, funds, or any other factor.

      So many comments! Wonderful to see so many people understand that there's no magic pill, nor perfect company, no best product in the world that will bring success for them.

      With my students, I encourage them to remember that one cannot just do all the right things. They must be done in a certain way. These are two things I harp on most:

      First - that your desire is measured by the intensity of your pursuit. Do all the right things.. it's vital that we (as Gary Vaynerchuk calls it) hustle.

      Second - when things get tough or you're not sure that you're making any headway: Your persistence is measured by the intensity of your goal.

      To make that goal intense, it requires constant focus.. day and night.. until thoughts of where you're going completely replace any negativity that holds you back.

      Great discussion here! I look forward to reading more!

    Being Ready to Conquer Your Fears and Start Turning Your Dreams into Reality brings SUCCESS.

    You can because you have the power – the power to mold your personality into someone you always wanted to be, the power to shape your future according to how you wanted to live, and the power to create your destiny as to how you wanted to make certain things happen.

    We underestimate how powerful we can be. Yes, you are capable of attaining your heart's deepest desires - by unleashing the hidden powers of your mind!

    I think the most important is the desire to succeed, because with that desire you will do what is necessary in order to succeed.

    cheers!

    Love.

    You need to love what you do and love the people you do it for. the Real value at the end of the day is wither or not the people you do business with love you or not. Money follows love.

    My wife cleaned me out last week... and I love her ever so much. :p

    lol. Joking aside. Yeah single most important thing. Love

    (sound mushy? Meh deal with it, because it is true. )

    Hi,

    In my opinion, the most important thing that brings success to an online business is leads/traffic! I mean, it's true, you can have the best website, the perfect opportunity, and the correct mindset... But nothing counts for nothing without traffic to your opportunity. I say this from personal experience. Just my 2cents!

    I would have to argue that it is a culmination of things together that bring success.

    But I would say that one thing in particular, at least for me, keeps me going and is the reason for both wanting to be successful and staying on the path to success:

    Adversity.

    I am a music producer, and I make my best productions, make the most money, and put the most effort into my business when faced with a situation that has made me feel like i "lost".

    Rejection from a member of the opposite sex, others saying you cannot be successful, a lack in a particular area of your life that you have always wanted to make up for....these kinds of things are blessings in disguise and can drive us to do the most incredible things.

    Desire also fits in hand with this concept.

    Hope this helps!

    Success is the end result of many things. It is true. But I firmly believe that the single most important factor for becoming successful in any part of our life is:

    Consistent Focused Action

    This is what makes the difference between winners and losers.

    As far as Internet Marketing is involved we need additional things like:

    Learn , Adapt and Improvise with the everyday changing environment (Dynamic Life of Internet)

    The person who keeps using old outdated methods can very well lose the race in few months. That is why we need to continuously keep learning and implementing new things in IM to stay ahead of the rat race.

    One of the things we do to undermine our success, is that we allow our mind to want to take on 50 things at once. This slows you down in the long run. You end up carrying all the extra stress and this stops you from actually creating more success.

    Someone once said to me: learn one thing at a time, learn it well, become an expert, make yourself happy with your accomplishments, then move to the next task.

    Cheers

    Hi, I am rather new to the forum and have been mildly successful with internet marketing. However, I have been studying metaphysics and the law of attraction in some detail and I think this applies to the thread.

    James Ray says that in order to attain success you must go three for three. He means you must align your thoughts feelings and actions in order for you to hit the sweet spot. If everything is energy and you are trying to gain motivation and postive energy, then it only makes sense to try and line these things up. Especially since it is hard to say one thing and do another.

    Then to be more specific, I see its all a matter of attitude. If you like what you are doing and it shows, that covers the thoughts and feelings part of the puzzle. Then if your actions are in congruence that should make you happy and pleased with yourself. Maintaining the feeling of gratitude and appreciation will keep your energy up. Then just stay away from those well meaning folks that often inadvertantly tend to take the wind out of your sails.

  • "Nothing happens until something moves"

    If there's one critical component to making it happen online, this is it.

    You can have the greatest opportunity, access to the greatest tools, access to the greatest coaches/products, and be living in the midst of the greatest economic boom, and have all the things people blame for NOT succeeding... and you'll waste ALL of your opportunity if you don't stop spending hours a day on Facebook or Twitter bull****ting with people (not marketing or networking) or stop laying on the couch plowing through entire seasons of DVD sets of television shows (series fiction novels is my preference) or shutting down with whatever way you use to distract yourself.

    And that's all on you.

    The key to success in my experience is to only give yourself comfort - which is what distraction is - only after you've done something that's scary, that's pushing your towards your edge, that's moving progress forward in your life.

    If the majority of your waking hours aren't being spent giving your gift and making you proud of yourself, THAT'S precisely when it's easiest to seek solace in comfort. COMFORT = DISTRACTION.

    I speak from first hand experience of having behaved as a world class pussy and procrastinator and here's how I turned it around...

    Get yourself in the company of someone who won't stand by and let you bring less than you're capable to the table.

    If you're a man, your woman can be this "rock in the storm" for you. Men spend billions of dollars every year seeking the devotion and the feeling of women's radiance (magazines, movies, music, etc).

    It's hard to have the full respect and adoration of your woman if you're being a douche canoe who wallows in mediocrity because you cling to security, approval and control so fully, that you imprison yourself with all kinds of stories about why the world is against you.

    Women totally and completely can sense when a guy is full of ****. AND they know when he's on the path to greatness. Now if on the path to greatness you get so wrapped in work that don't offer her love the way she wants, she'll leave your ass. There's a balance and if you let them, a loving, caring, giving woman can be your greatest asset in succeeding.

    Now greatness doesn't necessarily mean having a jillion dollars in the bank. To me, greatness is bringing your unique gift to world, living on purpose, in pursuit of transforming a tiny piece of your world for the better.

    If you think this will be hard, you're right.

    Anyone who's sought to make a go at pursuing their unique greatness has faced a **** storm of adversity. Everyone. Jesus & all spiritual leaders, Walt Disney, Dan Kennedy, on and on and on. This is supposed to happen.

    EXAMPLE: One of the only ways a woman knows she can trust you completely is if in the midst of her furious anger - aka adversity - and disappointment with you, you stay with her and love the **** out of her in. that. moment.

    No tuning out. No being macho jerk asshole who punches her into submission. No analytic therapy moves seeking compromise. Just you walking into the storm, radiating raw love and presence to point where she can exhale and let all the tension go in her body knowing she's in the hands of a man who isn't going to run when **** hits the fan.

    You know how when people say life is a bitch. Well, when it comes to adversity, you can say that. That bitch won't respect you until you can face her down and appreciate that she's showing you an opportunity to expand and grow.

    This example makes me think of the belief that Dan Kennedy has that "All News Is Good News". Everything that happening exactly the way it's supposed to and it's all gonna serve you. Eventually.

    But if you don't own this belief, looking for ways to make the worst thing that ever happened to you into the best thing that ever happened to you, you see adversity as something that shouldn't be here in life. Something that's scary that you need to run away from.

    STOP IT!!! EMBRACE THE IDEA OF TAKING ACTION AND WELCOME ADVERSITY AS A SIGN THAT YOU'RE MAKING PROGRESS AND THAT YOU'RE ALIVE!!! THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ADVERSITY ARE DEAD! CELEBRATE THAT!

    Now if you don't currently have a woman in your life, get a coach. Tough it up and get someone who let you take a dump on yourself but who will actually hold you accountable and who can lead you to realizing your potential. You should also get a coach even if you do have a loving woman in your life. In that instance you've got double insurance that you're gonna step up.

    And obviously if you're a woman, you want to find a coach who embodies masculine energy/direction. Man or woman can have this but it's usually men who own it completely. This direction will steer you away from making decisions that don't serve you and will show you options you never let yourself see.

    So there it is. My secret to success. Get yourself in the company of someone who in a loving yet firm way won't put up with you being less than you're capable of.

    Try it. I know you might not like the feeling of being scared ****less to step out of comfort, but once you do and you experience the other side and feel the pride coursing through your body, you'll always remember the feeling and know that this was exactly what you needed.

    Positive action!

    Positive means with a focused, positive, can-do attitude, as well as organized, well-executed systematic plans of attack on several fronts (you never know in advance which might succeed, and which may not).

    Action includes seeking out a niche with emotional interest to a large number of seekers, looking for the new, the different, and the next big thing (or the old, the tried and true, and the proven).

    All together, positive action can do what mere wishful thinking, disorganized planning, and scattered efforts will never accomplish!

    For me,
    Success is the output of believe on ownself and inspiration of someone.Success is the result of desire,determination,confidence and industrious.Inspiration accelerate the desire to reach at the peak of success.If anyone wants to make his or her dreams come true then he/she should remind 3 things...
    I can Do it...I will do it...I must do it = I've done it
