Success is not a single event… it is an on-going process.
“Money. NOW!” seems to be the majority attitude I come across. And the biggest question seems to be, “How LONG until I make money?”
This may sound harsh, but if you need money by next Friday, then PLEASE go get a job from someone who says you will be paid on Fridays.
If you are working online and you need money ASAP, get into the WA job board and do some work for another WA member – and get that money in ASAP.

If you are near losing your home, or having a hard time being able to afford to put food on the table…. please, PLEASE, don’t turn to internet marketing as the “miracle instant cure”.
It’s not a short-term miracle. This is a business you BUILD.
Just like building a house, you can’t start with the roofing. First you build a foundation, and then you frame the walls, and so on.
When you start an internet marketing business, YOU are your boss. YOU decide how much you make and WHEN you make it. NO ONE can tell you, or guarantee FOR you, what YOUR business will do.
Internet Marketing IS a LONG-TERM miracle. Every web page you get online gives you the future chance of really great things changing for you financially.
Look, I’ve been doing this for over 2 years. I make a point to find success in EVERY day I work.
In the beginning, my daily successes were things like getting my first organic traffic to a new site or lens….my first email subscriber…..figuring out how to install Word Press….learning ftp… finally figuring out how to make a web page back ground different. Heck, the first time I learned how to create an anchor text link WITHOUT looking at my <a href=” cheat sheet, I was THRILLED!
Yes, some of my “success” days had a $ sign attached to them. First sale, first $50 day, first $100 day, first $1,000 day, first $10,000 week, etc etc etc .. But those are more like “land mark” days for me. They are check points in my online marketing journey.
In my humble opinion, if the only way you know to measure your own success is thru a dollar sign amount, you will have a really hard time.
The best athletes in the world know their goals, but they focus on execution.
Success is found in the process.
Find success EVERY day. Take a good swing and know you did well. This is not about anyone but YOU. No one needs to validate your daily success – YOU know you did well.
Also, you may find people in your life that define YOU and your “success” by the dollar signs attached to it. Be careful how many people like that you allow to effect you.
