Lesson #1!
Don't listen to your family members, friends, co-workers, or ANYONE who tells you that you can't do this!
YOU CAN! YOU WILL! TELL YOURSELF THIS AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES A DAY!
As much as I hate to tell you this, USUALLY, it's the people you care about the most that are going to try to wear you down and tell you not to WASTE YOUR TIME doing that internet thing because you're not going to be able to do it anyway!
I'm serious. Some of the most important people in my life, my family, tried to discourage me from doing anything money related on the internet. They had good intentions (they didn't want me to be disappointed!), but ultimately, without really meaning to hurt you, they tear down your enthusiasm, your enjoyment, your absolute excitement about starting a new venture and drag you down so you start believing that you really can't have a business online, that you really can't make money on the internet.
IF you truly want to be a success online, whether it's making money online or just building a good informational blog to help others overcome something, you NEED to understand that this WILL HAPPEN TO YOU and you need to block your mind from allowing any of that negativity to affect your decision to work online.
You CAN do this, you CAN make money online, you CAN be a successful marketer!
One of the best ways to help you overcome negativity is to align yourself with at least ONE person who understands your need to learn something new and will support you in your online goals. It may be a family member, a neighbor, a friend, or a co-worker, but look for someone who is always upbeat with a positive outlook, someone who people enjoy spending time with because he/she makes them feel good.
THAT is the kind of person you need to find and target, to align yourself with. THAT PERSON will be the one who is going to give you a "yippee" the first time you complete a project, make your first $100 (take them out to dinner with it!), and they will be the one who will encourage you to learn more, make more, and share more of yourself. They will be the one who will bolster you up when someone tries to tell you not to waste your time doing "that online thing" cause you don't know enough. They will be the one who will start defending you before you can do it yourself, because they will believe in you and want to share in your success.
As trite as it sounds, this really is a very important thing to look out for.
It's really easy to crumble, to give up and quit, when you don't have someone who belives in YOU until YOU believe in YOURSELF!
I'm not one to say "I told you so" (I hate people who do that, I just want to smack them), but I'd love to hear from any of you who HAVE found a person who can be your rock during the beginning stages of your online marketing efforts.
You CAN do this!
