Two Words that Separate the Online Winners from the Quitters

Ask five people what to do to be successful when starting a
business and you will probably get five different answers.
Everything from, "you absolutely have to have a business plan" to
"failure is eminent without my new software." Although a
business plan is very important and there are some very valuable
software applications to grow a business, there is one aspect of
success that seems to be very hard for many people to overcome.


Here's a story to illustrate the point. A friend, named Joe
wanted to start an internet marketing business. Before he began
selling anything he hired someone to coach him. The coach did
not have any really revolutionary ideas, pretty much the same as
the other guru's but he was honest with Joe when he needed to
hear the truth. Joe followed his instructions on researching
profitable niches. Once Joe's coach emailed him with a
suggestion that he thought would make it easier for Joe, but Joe
responded saying that he thought the suggestion made by his coach
was nearly impossible. Joe told him, "I cannot do that, it's too
hard." The response from the coach was paramount to Joe's
success. It changed everything for Joe. He replied saying,
"Joe, if you think you can't then you're probably right."

Joe understood what his coach was getting at. Joe's own thoughts
about what he thought he could and could not do were holding him
back. Joe decided that very day that he could in fact do what
his coach suggested to find a profitable niche. That's right, he
made a decision that he could do it and that he would not give
up. Not only did Joe find a very profitable niche, he found ten
profitable niches. Joe quickly started his first internet
business selling a hard good product and it turned out to be a
total success. This rest as they say is history.

Ask yourself, what could you do if you removed "I can't" from
your vocabulary and weren't hindered by what you think are your
abilities. Joe knew nothing about the niche he started in and
even so his business took off like gangbusters. He learned about
his product as he went along. He didn't know how to build a
website but he learned. Joe's success had nothing to do with a
large starting capital because he started with less than $300.

Your success at any business venture has very little to do with
talent, money you have to invest, knowledge about the product and
a whole host of other excuses that people come up with about why
they can't start an internet business. Your success does have
everything to do with your determination to succeed and
perseverance when challenges come your way. Now don't go and
throw money down the toilet because you don't want to give up,
please use common sense. If you haven't made any money after a
couple months don't decide that online marketing isn't for you.
Consider moving on to find another niche. There are millions of
hungry buyers in thousands of niches waiting to buy. Keep
plugging away until you find a need to meet in a specific niche
and fill that need. It will only take a few months to get to
know your market.

Every single month, there are millions of people searching for
information on how to make money on the internet, yet less than
3% of those people ever actually make any money. The difference
among those that succeed and those that do not is that the ones
who make money don't back down when faced with the same
challenges that all online marketers face. It comes down to
this, you have to delete the phrase, "I can't" from your
vocabulary. Don't be one of the 97% that give up right before
you strike gold.
