I have the mindset... But not the patience!

are there skills you have learned in the last ten years that you could mold into a job ..


you probably won't find full time work.. instead of looking for jobs available..decide what you can do with your skills for a company for say 10 hours a week ..set your salary ..

if there is one good thing about the obamacare mess ..insurance is no longer tied to a job so you don't ever have to get stuck somewhere to avoid losing your health coverage

Patience is part of the right mindset. You have been successful before so surely you have skills to help you achieve success again. If you truly believe you don't have the patience, maybe it is time to get a j.o.b.

the right mindset includes being in charge of what you do to make money ..and if you keep your self in position to move when your skills are not needed anymore ..you are much better off .

Good points, thanks for the feedback...

Things for me to think about...

I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. Just get frustrated sometimes I guess...

lots of mistakes = wisdom when we learn from them.

being frustrated is normal

Thanks for the inspiring and thoughtful words guys... I appreciate it.

if you are going to work for somone though..try to find someone who is getting rich ..

most jobs suck because even the guy.girl you work for isn't getting rich off what you do ..that sure will not help your mindset ..

That was quite a combination of definite statements about life and how it would be so much better if certain things were somewhat different than the way they are now.

Your thread resonates with me and I feel much of the things you have been feeling over the past ten years. Progress does seem very slow at so many places along the way.

But, . . .good luck.

It sounds like you know why mistakes were made, and that you learned from them. If that's the case, just remember that while the number may be high, there is a finite amount of mistakes that you can make, so you can count each "mistake" or "failure" as 1 more completed step towards your personal success!

Accept that normal people don't understand real-world marketing, much less internet marketing, and don't talk to them about it if they are negative or not supportive. I know that it's hard, but it's in your best interest to avoid needless disappointment. Besides, you have an entire forum of people from all over the world who understand you and want to help you, right here! Bond with the people in your life over different subjects.

Most big companies/brands are complete and total "failures" at everything that they do for at least 10 years before they hit it big. It sounds to me like you're just about due. ^_~*

There are lots of non-Google or Youtube-related ways to get traffic. Facebook is a HUGE one, as well as Pintrest, and if nothing else, there's an entire offline world that needs to be brought online; that alone covers more people and projects than 1 person could hope to COMPREHEND in their entire lifetime!

Or in short, where there's a will, there's a way. Look for alternative methods and you'll find them; they exist all around you. ^_^

I hope that this helped!

How can you have the mindset without the patience?

Surely no patience = no mindset?

Who's relying on that? there are people on this forum making 6 figures per year that don't even have a website... Like my mothers company that I help BUILD from the ground up.

You are restricting yourself from doing better if you're telling yourself that you have to rely on google and youtube.

And you shouldn't be "trucking along" -- If this is what you want, then put the dam pedal to the medal.

A closed mouth don't get fed.

There are NO SECRETS. Sure, they're may be some new methods that pop up every once and while but business is business and every business has the same infrastructure... NO MATTER THE NICHE.

Find what motivates you and do it every day. My desk is RIDDLED with motivation quotes that get me pumped every time I sit down at the desk.

You can do it man. Trust me.

Thanks for all the feedback...

Warriors always seem to come through and give all the angles and perspectives which is what I needed...

Some of your posts are very thoughtful and I appreciate it...

Work in progress I am... (what yoda would say)

I too have experienced the roller coaster of success.... Set a goal... plan backwards.... work your plan.... grind it.... revise it when necessary.... reward yourself for milestones.... Now get after it!!!!!
