I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are having a great Monday!
Today I have something to talk to you about that most Internet marketers DON’T like to talk about. But it’s extremely important that you address this issue head-on, or it can kill your dreams of success.
It was years ago now, but I can remember when I first got started online. Remember
it plain as day.
There was one word that threatened to kill every dream I had of being successful. I’d say successful online, but it really was bigger than that. This one word could have killed my success anywhere, doing anything.
Yes, it’s that serious.
The word is FEAR.
It’s a dream killer, no question.
What you need to understand, though, is why.
We’re all human, so we all feel human emotions. Fear is one of those. And when we try to do something we’ve never done before, like a start an online business, fear is a natural part of taking that step.
But it also can become a nasty beast that strangles every dream you have.
When most people start out in Internet marketing, no matter what their niche is, no matter what their product is, they fear:
* Making a mistake
* Losing money
* Being embarrassed in front of family and friends
* Not knowing everything they need to know
* Failing
And as crazy as it might sound, a lot of people unconsciously fear succeess. Odd, but true.
All of those fears are like road blocks. Without them you’d probably have a wide open highway right to what you want to
accomplish.
Now, I’m not saying all of those fears are unfounded. Some are real, and normal, and actually responsible.
Fact is, when you start an Internet business, you have to invest some time and cash. And there’s a real possibility you might lose some of that cash. That’s true for starting ANY business, not just an online one.
But what most of us tend to do is let those fears get big and mean, and keep us from doing what we need to succeed. That’s why fear is a dream killer.
When I first started, I knew nothing about business. I knew almost nothing about computers. I didn’t even really know what Internet marketing was. All I knew was that I wanted to change my life and my family’s lives.
So I took a step that scared me to death and started trying to learn and do and succeed.
Now I have a business most people envy.
I don’t say that to boast at all. I’m telling you that because I absolutely believe you can do what I did.
You’ll make mistakes. You’ll lose some investment now and again. Your friends and family might laugh at you, or tell you to get a “real job.” You’ll fail some.
And all of that is necessary if you want to be a long-term success. It isn’t fun, but it’s worthwhile. Looking back on it, I’m so glad I didn’t quit. You can feel that way too, if you’ll just take the first step and stick with it.
Like I said, though, we’re all human. Just hearing some encouragement from me probably isn’t enough, so let me give you some
practical advice to get past your fear.
First, make a plan. It doesn’t have to be formal. You don’t have to think of
everything. Just think about the big stuff:
* Your business model
* Your market
* Your product
* How you’ll get traffic
You don’t have to be the world’s expert on any of that!
One thing you can do is give yourself permission to mess up. I’m serious about that.
There’s no way you can know everything you need to know before you start.
If you try to learn it all, you’ll stay stuck in what lots of people call analysis paralysis. It could last a lifetime.
It’s smarter to get started and put your fear in a box.
It’s okay to be afraid, but remember that nothing worth doing ever feels completely comfortable when you start. Being successful on the Internet is no different.
So step out there boldly. Start simple, and focus your efforts on getting ONE product on ONE site to a profitable place.
Tell yourself that you can do it. Remind yourself that there’s no reason you can’t, because lots of other people very much like you have succeeded. Stop thinking about what can go wrong, or what you don’t know, or how it hasn’t worked before.
It can work this time. You can do better this time. You’re smarter than you were before, and you’ll get even smarter as
you go.
Once you do that, you’ll notice something. Your fear will start to melt.
And after you’ve sold your first product online, your confidence will soar.
Then, before you know it, you’ll be looking back like me and sort of laughing at yourself for being so afraid.
You may not believe that right now, but it’s the truth. I’d stake my reputation on it.
Have a great week and I’ll check in with you soon.
All the best, Michael Rasmussen
