Just face it- you're afraid of failure.

You're afraid that if you throw that product out there, it won't get any sales, customers will ask for refunds, and your name will be dragged through the dirt.

You're afraid that your website will never rank, Google is just becoming too much of a pain, and SEO is a waste of time.

You're afraid that you'll never be able to get those offline clients, despite how many times you revise your sales pitch, try different advertising methods, or adjust your offer.

You're afraid that even if you do reach the top, you won't know how to sustain it. You'll fall flat on your face and won't be able to get up.

Well let me tell you something my friend- you're fearing things that may not even come to pass.

Who knows if that website will rank? For all we know, Google may disappear next week.

Who knows how your product will do? You can do all of the market research in the world, and create an awesome product and campaign- but you still never know.

But the bottom line is that you will never know until you try.

Get that product out there- it doesn't have to be perfect, just good.

Start building up that website. Get quality backlinks and good content, and you'll do just fine.

Work, work, and then work some more. Your income will go up- I guarantee it!

Don't be afraid to fail. Push, push, and push some more!

    Yeah

    I have 2 keywords , each 500 exact/Month
    In my language , it isnt english

    But guess what ?
    Im still afraid of failure.

    None of top 10 websies have backlinks , market samurai shows - 0 !!!! Backlinks to page.
    Pages arent optimized.

    This Kw is local KW , and 1 customer could bring $400+ for that business owner. 1k searches * 40% = 400 Visitors to my site a month . even 10 of them want to pay $400 to business owner thats = $4000

    And i thinks that is buying keyword so i would get much more then 10.

    But - IM STILL AFRAID OF FAILURE !

    I have no more fear of failure because I'm confident I'll succeed.

    Suffering through my unbearable 9-5 has strengthened my resolve.

    I used to be frightened by all of those things until I learned to accept these two facts of life and of business:

    - Everything takes time.
    - Everything changes.

    So ... face the music, don't fear failure, and do push onward taking steps every day to advance your business in some productive way.

    You're right, indeed there are thousands of aspiring internet marketers out there who are afraid to take a single step. Sometimes what stops us, is fearing the unknown which is very critical.

    True. Most of my ideas don't come to fruition because I'm afraid it will not be successful as I initially imagined it to be.

    Fear is common. It is part of our nature, and contrary to what some people try to tell you, few people, if any, ever get rid of their fear – but they DO learn to control it.

    Successful people take steps to learn how to control their fear and in some instances, they can even turn it into an advantage, something that helps energize and motivate them to greater action and more confidence.

    When you learn to face your fear and get control of it, you begin to make progress towards your important goals.

    Guilty as charged.

    I find myself self sabotaging all the time , I know exactly what I need to be doing to move forward and what steps to take next, but often the day passes me by and all I have accomplished is reading forum posts and watching some funny videos.

    If I don't set hard goals and to do lists for myself I will continue to subconsciously let that fear keep me from moving forward. Even though I realize I'm doing it, its a hard nut to crack.

      You hit the nail right on the head rmolina88. Working a 9 to 5 job is not where I want to end up anymore. You have to say enough is enough and put the fear of failure behind and maybe work on what's between your ears and say whatever it takes.

    Often I find myself waiting, until I get the perfect domain, perfect design, perfect content etc.....
