Importance of Change

Many of us, myself included have these perceived ideas about success and making money. We are socially conditioned to think a certain way about success. Eg as kids we are told to get good grades, go to university, get a good job etc and we are told that the only way to make money is to work harder/longer.

So we get conditioned to think that the only way to earn money is to slave away in our jobs.

And then some of us try to break away from it and look to the internet or home business to make money. We begin to learn and try some things, doing the inevitable "shiny object chasing" and jump around from method to method, idea to idea. And we get conditioned in this environment by things we see and hear in the internet marketing world.

"oh you can't do that anymore, the latest Panda update killed that"

"2013 is all about this product or this method"

I know personally a lot of these thoughts came down to ego. You become so sure of the way you think things are that you can't see anything else.

I was sitting at this conference and some people got up and were speaking about all this money they made and I sat there getting jealous and angry because I'm not making the kind of money there are. My beliefs about thing were being questioned and that makes anyone uncomfortable.

My point here is to be open to new ideas, and unless you are as successful you want to be, a lot of your actions and thoughts are probably leading you astray.


Success/failure is basically just the repetition of a few choices/actions over and over, these things may not be evident right away but when you look back over a period of time you can see the consequences.

Eg if you eat Burger King every meal, every day, you might not notice anything after one day but in 50 days, you'll probably look in the mirror and go "shit I'm a fat bag of shit...whoops".

It's the same if you take some action that gets a few visitors more a day to your website, your life won't change in 1 day from getting 5 visits but by 50 days when you are getting 300 visits a day obviously that is a massive improvement.


Hope this makes sense, just wanted to share because it was a pretty humbling, breakthrough idea. I believe that mindset is 98% of the battle, the exact method (PPC, blogging, dancing nude in the street etc ) you use for success is just a tool.
