One of my goals is to post much more often than I have been. The primary problem I seem to be having is the struggle to maintain my focus . . . do you suffer from that too?
Aside from ‘life’ distracting me from what I am diligently working to accomplish online, there’s SO much information that sometimes it’s difficult to know what to do with it all. BUT, it doesn’t matter about the struggle, just so long as we don’t quit.
It amazes me that some people try something for a short period of time, like a week or a month, and then because they aren’t getting the results they had hoped for (making some money), they give up in frustration and claim ‘it’ doesn’t work. To those people I say . . . you aren’t really serious about what you’re doing. A week, a month, or even a year, may not be enough time to see results. That’s the nature of this industry we’re in . . .
Most people who are online trying to earn a living, make some extra income, or whatever they call themselves doing are missing the point . . . Yes, we all want to know that our efforts are going to pay off. But it takes time, sometimes, it takes a LOT of time for those results to manifest. And the reason is because we have a HUGE learning curve to go through and overcome.
We went to school, we worked the jobs, but none of those activities prepared us for where we are now, and no one told us what it was going to take to make this Internet thing work for us. So, don’t get frustrated because you’re struggling. And by no means should you quit because you aren’t making any, or much, money right now. Look at everything you’re doing online as self-education. Don’t worry about how long it takes; concern yourself with whether you’re implementing what you’re learning.
Like I once heard someone say: “Three to five years is coming anyway, right?” Isn’t that the statistic we hear so often about how long it takes for a business to be in profit? So why are you frustrated that things don’t seem to be working out when it’s just been a week, a month, or even a year? If whatever you’re doing isn’t working, TRY something else!
Here’s a suggestion that might help you . . . My friend, Jinger Jarrett, has written a book, called “Internet Marketing for Free: The Guide” that is selling on Amazon.com right now. But you can get it for FREE right now HERE.
