If A Dumbass Muscle Head Like Me Can Be Successful With Online Marketing Then You Can Do It Too…
Here’s a little background information for you about me. I grew up in a small Podunk town in Northern New Hampshire. I had about 103 kids in my graduating class and I was an average student. I never picked up on a lot things very quickly and to this day I am very much still a slow learner. I skirted by in high school doing just enough to get by and when it came time to choose a college and a major, I had no real clue what I wanted to do. I knew I liked science; I knew I liked sports; so I arbitrarily decided to major in Sports Medicine (I was the guy who would run out on the field when athletes got hurt).
In college I had a great professor in my Biology Class who made it really fun and interesting and for the first time in my academic career I actually busted my ass and worked hard in a class.
Looking back on that class I remember him saying, “We have some really smart people in this class who get A’s without even trying BUT for all of you that don’t view yourself as smart or gifted, you can get an A too by working harder than they do.”
This statement caught my attention and made me believe that I could do it too. You see, one of the key objections people have to anything is that they don’t think it will work for them. This professor helped me realize that I could do it too. (helping to convince your prospects that ‘they can do it’ is one of your chief duties as a marketer and will result in more sales for you).
Anyway, I took his statement to heart and busted my ass the entire semester. The course material was hard for me to grasp so I had to spend more time studying, reading the course book, re-reading the course book, spending time with classmates in study groups, getting to class early, staying late, and even going to see the professor for extra help and clarification. I put in the work…
Long story short – I got an A in Biology that semester and it was the most proud of my work in a class that I had ever had at that point and it changed how I viewed myself. I no longer viewed myself as an average student but instead of someone who was capable of a lot ‘if’ I worked harder than anyone else.
Let’s fast forward and I’ll show you how I apply this lesson today…. After college and a few years working in the Sports Medicine field, I threw myself into Internet Marketing because I wanted to grow my income, escape the time for money trap, and have the freedom to work how I wanted when I wanted.
I remembered my Biology professor’s important lesson he taught me and so I applied that to my goal of learning how to be successful internet marketing, getting good at it, and making money as fast as possible. I dove in, did my homework, woke up early, stayed late, and got as much guidance as possible to achieve the goals I had set for myself.
2 Things I Focused On To Overcome My Lackluster Mental Capacities
And Lack of Knowledge To Become An Internet Marketing Success…
1. Learning: Jim Rohn says “your income will never exceed your own personal development.” I have heard it stated time and time again that “if you spend an hour a day learning about a topic in a year’s time you will be an expert on that topic.” I knew nothing about marketing business, or making money before I started a few ago BUT, after spending 30 minutes to 60 minutes a day, 5 days a week for the last three years, I am now an expert. I have leveled the playing field and climbed the ladder of success because I filled my brain with the right materials.
Important Questions: How much time are you wasting on activities that don’t make you more of an expert (TV typically will not make you a better marketer FYI)? What are you reading each day? What are you studying? What course are you going through? How are you improving your skills? What can you replace with your current schedule so that you can fit in this crucial education time?
2. Work Ethic: I work harder than most so I get ahead further than most. I learned a long time ago that working your ass off can make up for a lot. When you start in internet marketing there is a lot you won’t know, a lot you won’t understand, a HUGE learning curve, an ever-changing playing field, aspects of the business that you will suck at, and things you will screw up on. I am ok with that and you should be too. Every day you wake up, you start working towards your goals, you bust your ass, you work the plan, you screw things up, you learn from the mistakes, and you keep moving forward. Every day the clock is ticking. Every day people will try to steal your time doing things that don’t move you towards your goals. It’s your responsibility to stay absolutely focused on your goals and do something (at least) every day to move towards your goals, ideally, you should be doing LOTS of things each day to move you closer to your goals.
Important Questions: If you have clear and compelling goals you WILL bust your ass everyday to get your work done. Honestly, how hard are you working on your internet business each week (Do you really think one blog post a week is going to cut it??). How many things have you done TODAY to move closer to your goals (there is no tomorrow)? Have you seen examples of other information marketers that are working hard? How can you do MORE than them?
So my friend, what are your goals? Where do you want your business to be in 3 years from now and what will your life be like then? Build that compelling and powerful Vision in your mind and remind yourself of it DAILY. Then LEARN and WORK every day to make it a reality and you will achieve success too. If a dumbass muscle head like me can do it then you can too.
To your success,
