Believe it or not, your mindset is more important than any of the knowledge you have. Henry Ford only had very limited formal education, but he had a desire and a mindset that actually forced him to achieve his goals. He is also the one that said, "Whether you think you can or think you can't you're right!"
His drive and determination took him from a non-educated worker to a leader in industry. This is the same type of mindset you need to have to succeed. This is a mindset that doesn't say, can't!
The word can't is a word that is sure to bring you failure if you use it all the time. I like to define can't as conveniently accepting negative thoughts.
C= Conveniently.
A= Accepting.
N= Negative.
T= Thoughts
Don't accept negative thought from yourself or anybody else. You are the only one that can give up on your goals and the only one that can accept these thoughts. You will reach your goals but only if you believe you can.
It doesn't mean you can't do something just because you don't know how to do it
It doesn't mean it can't be done just because no one has done it before.
All you have to do is to create a mindset with a burning desire to achieve. This means anything that you think you can't do, can be done. You just have to figure out how to do it.
The most common excuse that I have heard used for Internet marketing purposes is, "I am a newbie!"
I know this doesn't sound like an excuse, but it is. Gary Ambrose pointed this out to me a couple of years ago. When you say you are newbie, you are using that as an excuse. The reason for this is that you never say I am a newbie unless you need an excuse.
Question: What is your domain name?
Answer: I don't have one I am a newbie.
Question: What niche are you working in?
Answer: I don't have one I am a newbie.
Question: Have you started building your list yet?
Answer: No, I am a newbie.
As you can see all the answers were used as an excuse for not having something done. I know I used this as an excuse, when I started out, and you probably have too.
But just being a newbie doesn't mean that you can't take action. Getting started doesn't take a lot but you have to take action in order to start. |
