If you're struggling to make money - some advice...

"You are what you think you are."

If you go in to Internet marketing with the attitude you just want to earn a few dollars to tide you over, is it any wonder you often make things more difficult for yourself?

If you go in to Internet marketing without a clearly defined goal in mind, is it any wonder that the second you wade in a little over your depth, you start flailing around with information overload not knowing which way to turn next to find the ideal solution you're looking for?

If you go in to Internet marketing without a laser focus, with no business plan, with no clear strategy in mind, is it any wonder why making money online can be so difficult for you?

Why oh why do so many of you insist on making everything so difficult for yourselves?

Pretty much in every other area of life you'll do whatever you can to make your lives easier or better in some way.

Yet, when it comes to business, many of you still need hand holding or worse... your finger pulled out of your backside.

Look! If you go in to this business, any business in fact with a halfhearted attitude, 'well, I suppose I could give this a go', is it any wonder you'll often get the same repetitive results (diddly fat squat income wise), exactly the same as you've always received to date? Why on this occasion should you expect a different more positive result if you cannot be bothered to adjust and adapt your thinking?

At the outset I stated, "You are what you think you are." Meaning...

If you think confused, you'll receive confused.

If you think small, you'll only receive back a small return.

Whatever you think you are - is what you are.

If you think of yourself as being unsuccessful, you will become unsuccessful.

If you think you'll never get a handle or a grip on all this knowledge, well surprise surprise, life being a self fulfilling prophecy (as it is), you'll receive back exactly what you put out there, back into your own life.

No matter how bad life is right now, if something isn't working for you, stop doing it. Stop thinking as you are. Change your thinking. Change your attitude. Be tough on yourself. Tell yourself instead, "I can and I will do this."

The very fact you're alive is incredible in itself. You've already defeated all the odds in the known universe just by the fact you are alive and kicking, able to think for yourself on your own two feet.

The chances of you not being here are staggeringly high. Yet you, you of all people, you defeated these odds and you're here right now. Living here in the moment, reading this right this second.

Your amazingly privileged. You are. You have all the tools you need right in front of you at your disposal. You have the same keyboard in front of you as anyone else. By thinking just a little differently, by adjusting your attitude to life, you'll start hitting the keys on your keyboard in a different sequenced order to that which you've been doing to date.

If something isn't working it's not the fault of the marketplace. It's your own thinking which is at fault. If you're not getting the results you think you deserve change your fricken attitude. Change your thinking. Think for the better. For a more positive change / adjustment in your life.

You're not going to be around forever. One day something, anything could happen to you which changes your life without your say in it. An accident could render you paralyzed tomorrow. For somebody this will come true, and you know what they'll think afterwards?

They'll think to themselves, 'I wish I'd done this or that differently when I had the opportunity, when I had the chance'.

Or before getting ill with a life threatening disease, 'I wish I'd spent more time with my family or related more to the world and my place within it'. This is exactly what will go through their mind. I guarantee it.

Don't ever take your life for granted. If you want better things in life, a better lifestyle or more security or financial wealth or independence or opportunity for yourself or for your family members - set the lead and lead by example.

If you don't know how to do this, find out how to do this first. Change can only come from within yourself. You must build up within yourself a desire to make the changes necessary if you want to change your life for the better.

Your life, every moment which you can decide one way or another how to think for yourself, is entirely up to you.

In the moment, in any split second you have a choice to think and act one way or another.

If you make bad choices you'll soon enough receive back the energy you put out there negatively.

On the other hand, in the moment, through good thought choices, you can decide for yourself to make small incremental changes in your thinking to receive a much higher reward.

When you think for yourself, you are in fact creating energy. Is the energy you're going to create by your thoughts and actions energy which is going to benefit you and others around you or, create disturbances in the energy field which pay-off will harm you and others around you, even towards those you claim to love the most?

Think about it.

Being in business for yourself is all about helping other people. That's it plain and simple. All business seeks to provide solutions to other people.

How can you improve your thinking by a factor of 10%?

How can you improve the lives of other people by a factor of 10%?

What can you do right now, in this given moment to make the necessary change you need over the long run by a factor of 10%?

The difference between negative people and positive individuals is the way they each think their own thought patterns.

Start thinking more positively, dream bigger, dream better, believe in yourself that you can do whatever you set your mind and heart upon and you can achieve whatever you want in this life.

You just need to give yourself permission.

Just some random thoughts which I hope will help a few of you out.

So, what do you think?
