What do YOU need to make you SUCCEED?

10 years ago

Hey Joe,

I'll tell you what I needed in the beginning...

It was a serious kick in the ass.

If I wasn't put into the position of being laid off, I likely would have never taken the leap of faith that it took to get started.

I'm not suggesting that everyone go out there and try and get fired or just run from their job.. but sometimes you need some sense of insecurity in order to really get something done.

And for me.. that's worked many times. Prior to hitting all of my financial high points, I was at my lowest low.

A good example is recently I was struggling with money due to a bunch of personal things going on in my life.. shortly after I landed over $5,000 in 1 week and I've now got 3 large longterm contracts with businesses.

But hey.. if you want me to call your boss and complain about you, I totally will

I'll say how terrible you were so that he lays you off and you're forced into finding a solution

Justin Lewis

Thanks

Hey Justin,

It's been awhile man! We need to catch up

Thanks for sharing, I can definitely relate to that. It was only when I was in a position where every day I would be miserable working with most of my clients where I said "Hey! Time to change things up".

That outside pressure forced me to change, and to take action.

Your example is perfect!

Darn, you should of told me you offered that service! I would have had you call up all of the clients that were wasting my time, you missed out on a sale there buddy!

Haha!

I chose entrepreneurship over further education despite being laughed at by my friends and family..

I recently hit the "RESTART" button on my life, read my personal blog to find out how I did it :)

Realize that nobody was hiding any secrets to success from me.

This lead to an affirmation or quote I inspired myself with -

"There are no secrets to success except for the secrets you hide from yourself"

The secrets were the denials of my own efforts.
- Saying I was dedicated, but not really dedicated.
- Saying I wanted it, but not running for it.
- Thinking I can do something special, but of course not pulling through.

The most difficulty people face, is overcoming our lack of discipline.
- If you cannot discipline yourself, then you cannot judge yourself.
- If you cannot judge yourself, who is to be the judge of your success?

Hope this inspires!

Thanks

I need that magic button that floods your site with buying traffic. Oh, yeah and it has to be free (or at least under ten bucks).

No honestly though maybe something has to happen to make failure or success of the utmost importance. Right now I feel sometimes like I'm motivated but only to a certain extent. When it comes to risking money on my online adventure that's where I hesitate to pull the trigger.

Thanks

Joe, perhaps that's the problem. They have too much at their fingertips. People are flawed. They come from different environments, with different beliefs and ideas about who they are and the world around them. The things that successful people do are usually foreign to people who have not achieved monetary success (yet).

The world is coming at them at a million miles an hour, and many people have low self-esteem, and limited skills. Let's be honest, almost everything on the Internet is a scam of some sort.

So what happens to someone like that who finds him or herself on a list with somebody pushing money-making offers?

We all know what happens...

Too dramatic?

Thanks

Hey Joe

First off, thanks for your post.

When I first started online marketing, it was extremely tough for me to understanding everything. Fed up with all the confusion, I finally got the first thing that I need:

1. A Mentor

Before I got a mentor, all of my efforts to make money online were like shooting in the dark. Once I knew what to do and stayed on that path, everything started changing FAST!

Although I believe that everything that is worth achieving will never come without a fight, Which leads me to my second thing that I need to succeed:

2. Why

I needed a really big WHY to keep my fire burning to push through the fights, roadblocks, and hard times. The thought of my mother working 40 hours a week in her 9 to 5 tore me up inside, and still does.

However, I am thankful for all of it in the end, and I know she will be too because I will retire her very soon.

-Josh

Thanks

I need to be surrounded by more positive people on a daily basis. There's lots of text to read and the odd skype chat but nothing beats a long soaking conversation about possibilities with someone who's as (preferably more) positive and big minded than I am.

Thanks

You just need to stick to a proven money making system until you see results, no use jumping from one next best thing to another but just get active and put things your learned in practice.
