What Is Really Holding You Back From Earning What You Want?
Joseph Demasi

How long have you been trying to earn a living online? or maybe you just are tryng to earn a few hundred or a few thousand dollars online...

Whatever the case you need to know a few things that are the laws of online success and you cannot be successful without them! (they even work offline)

1. You must have a plan: this is probably the one that few people take seriously. I know that you have heard ths before, but you must heed this advice. Without a viable plan YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED!

2. You must be willing to fail. You will learn more from failure than from success. Ask any successful person you know if they have failed at anything. Every successful person has failed more times than they have succeeded. With every failure there is additional knowledge that you need to be successful. This does not mean you must go looking for failure...

3. You must be willing to learn HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL: This means that you must get all the education you can find on the subject and learn as much as you can. The best education is getting in the trenches and going through trial and error, but if you have someone that has gone before you, make sure you learn what has worked before and this will save you time and money!

4. Follow your plan to the end: The Internet is a mixed blessing, while it is true that it is responsible for creating more millionaires in the last 20 years than anything else, it is also responsible for people losing money. How can that be? People are not following through with their plan's. You may start with a business or opportunity or course that you are really excited about, then after a few weeks it seems harder than you thought and you are not have the instant success you were promised. You see something come across your email that looks utterly fantastic (just like the last one at first) and you decide to abandon you current plan and jump to this new one.

Seems very straight foward right? Have a plan, learn how to do it, don't be afraid to fail, and follow that plan to the end. Yup, pretty simple. If it is so simple, why are most people online failing? It seems that from the people I speak with, and I speak with many people weekly, there seems to be this feeling that there is a shortcut somewhere that no-one is talking about.

Let me clear the air - THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO SUCCESS!!!!

If you are not willing to do the above 4 things, then don't even try. You will become frustrated, lose money and eventually quit anyway.

Some tips to keep you focused:

1. Check your email twice a day, morning and night. There is nothing in there that is so important that it cannot wait. I don't care what Rachel Long's latest program is! (LOL)

2. Same for voice mail.

3. You must have uninterrupted, focued time to give your business. It is said that answering the phone and engaging in a 5 minute conversation winds up costing you 1 hour. Your thought process is interrupted, it is hard to get refocused, you take a break, etc.

4. Have a specific schedule to work your business. Having an online business definitely gives you the flexibility of your schedule, but that does not mean you can do it on the fly- you must plan time- do not get caught in the trap of saying that "I'll do it when I have the time". We all have busy lives and things come up- you must make the time!

5. Treat your business like you have $100,000 invested in it. Get things done now, not tomorrow, not next week, TODAY! - If your boss told you to do something and wanted it by 5pm today, would you get it done? I am not saying concentrate on your business first- your job is paying the bills for now and needs to have your focus when you are at work. I am just saying give your business the focus when you are on "your business time"

Remember to always give it your best!!!



Hope this helps!
