Three inner secrets of Internet Success

Three Inner Secrets of Internet Success

===================================



In only a few short months I've achieved the ultimate

Internet "fantasy" of making a lot of money from a simple

(almost primitive) web site that runs itself virtually on

complete autopilot. Starting from scratch I banked over

$51,351.94 my first 6 1/2 months online, just working part-

time out of the corner of my living room.

Now today at age 31, I've gone on to earn over 7-figures.

How did I go from a standing start to banking mega

profits?

To do that, what I think you really need are these inner

secrets to mega internet success. This has nothing to do

with search engines, pay-per-clicks. It doesn't have

anything to do with any of the tactical stuff. It's all a

lot of stuff that goes on in your head.



* Secret #1: Cheerful Expectancy *

One of my biggest mentors is Earl Nightingale. He passed

away several years ago but you need to get everything he

recorded at Nightingale.com. He has a program called "Lead

The Field" and "The Strangest Secret." Just listen to

that thing over and over again. He talks about cheerful

expectancy.

There's a big difference between having expectancy versus

hoping or wishing something is going to occur. When you

have that cheerful expectancy, you know it's going to

occur. And that doesn't just come from being

"Pollyannaish" or having rose-colored glasses.

It comes from having knowledge. And you get that

knowledge from studying in your field whatever it is. It

could be Internet marketing or it could be neurology. That

means reading, studying and buying everything and

absolutely immersing yourself in it.

I learned from Earl Nightingale that if you want to be an

expert, you spend an hour a day reading on whatever

subject that you're interested in, that you want to be an

expert on. So I said, "Well, what would happen if I read

for three hours a day?"

I just started learning as much as I possibly could, and

that knowledge gives you the confidence to know that you

have that positive expectancy. Your expectations determine

your results.



* Secret #2: Do one proactive thing a day *

You don't need to do 100 things a day. Just get that one

proactive thing a day. So each little brick builds a big

wall for you. Trust me it's easy to be overwhelmed with

hundreds of tasks. You're like, "Oh, we need to do e-zine

ads and free-for-alls and pay-per-click search engines,

and I need to do all this other stuff." Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

But just relax and do one task a day.

Your action will create more and more and more action for

you. You simply need to make a commitment to do one

proactive thing a day no matter what. Even if you're dead

tired and worked a 14-hour day - come home and mail one

letter or send out one joint venture proposal. I'm telling

you - just these little tiny proactive things will have an

immense impact.

Most everyone has heard of the '80/20 rule' or the Pareto

Principle. It says that 20% of your actions produce 80% of

your results, and the other way around. 80% of your work

only creates 20% of your results.

So go back and look where your successes came from, and Iknow that they're from a tiny little group of actions. So

if you just get that one proactive thing a day (from the

20% group) that is going to propel you further, that's

going to bring you to where you want to be.

Make it a point to focus on those "20% activities". In

Stephen Covey's famous work "7 Habits of Highly Effective

People" he calls these activities "important but not

urgent".

One of my Apprentices, Peter Woodhead, from the UK is a

perfect example of simply doing one proactive thing a day.

A lot of Apprentices bolted out of the gate during our one

year program but Peter was an Internet newbie and he also

had a full time job so he was a bit slower getting

started. However, he took my advice and simply managed to

do one proactive thing every single day. No matter how big

or how small. It could be writing one autoresponder

message or it might have been writing 50 headlines. No

matter the day - Peter was moving ahead. And not

surprisingly his project was completed before many of the

other Apprentices were finished.



* Secret #3: Decision *

This is such a big point. A lot of people have so many

problems with decision. That's because they don't like it

because it cuts off other options. But frankly that's

exactly what you want. You want to cut off other options.

One of our top apprentices, Cindy Kappler, WebAdMagic.com,

had no other option but to succeed because she quit her

job. Now I'm not encouraging you to do that if you still

have a real job but it does prove if you cut off your

options, you're much more motivated. Successful people

make decisions quickly.

There's a magic of attraction when you make your decision.

However, when you're hemming and hawing, you don't

experience this magic. I don't want to get into too much

woo-woo or metaphysical or spiritual stuff.

But there's this magic of attraction. I can't even

explain it. When you set your mind up that you're going

to do this, all of a sudden, at the next dinner party

you're attending you meet somebody that can help you get

to where you want to go. Is that luck or is that

something else?

I don't think it's luck.

It's like once the decision is made your mind is tuned

into the solution and all kinds of 'freaky' coincidences

and occurrences happen.

And that brings me to another important point about

decisions - fail quickly. Don't be afraid of failure. A

lot of people are so afraid of screwing up, or making a

mistake that they are forever frozen. Who the hell cares?

Screw up quickly! I screw up all the time. And you want

to fail quickly.

That's the great part about the Internet. You want to go

out there and find out if your dumb idea is going to work

right away. You can do it in days instead of months.

Sometimes hours and if it doesn't work, you move on. You

say, "Next!"

Look, I know a lot of people who are working on their

products for the last two, three, four years. Get the

damned thing out! You just make it better as you go

along.



InstantSalesLetters.com, our first product was not where it

is now. We've added a ton of stuff to it and made it

better. But I just wanted to see if the thing was going

to sell.

It wasn't complete and utter rubbish, as my British

friends say, but it was enough that it made the point. It

found out if there was a marketplace for it. So find out.

Some people like to go around at dinner parties and so on

and say, "I'm writing a book. I've been writing a book

for five years. I'm an author."

Uh huh...

I can show you 6 different ways to have your book done in

days. It's a cop-out and complete B.S. Bottom line - make

the decision to get the product out there. See what

happens and fail quickly.

Now get out there and do it!
