Internet marketing strategies are numerous and often complicated.  I suggest you get things moving, or elevate your business to new heights by focusing on simple strategies that can be readily implemented.

If you have strategies that you’ve found fruitful, I’d love to have you share some of them in a comment below.

Don’t forget to share this blog on Faceboook, Twitter, Stumbleupon and other social media sites if you’ve found this helpful.

Well, I know from experience, that they’re not really asking a question, they are hedging themselves against failure IF they decide to get involved with internet marketing.

Well, of course, there are many ways to make a profit on the internet.  New students have no idea what the difference is between internet marketing, network marketing, MLM and organizational development, affiliate marketing and so forth.

Naturally, they are putting the horse before the cart.  Before you can even consider how much profit you can make on the internet, you must decide this:

• How much failure you are willing to endure in the process of succeeding?

• How much of yourself are you willing to invest way before even asking how much you can profit on the internet?

Love to hear your comments, and always appreciate you sharing this post with others on your Social Media sites.

You are what you are… in Your Own Mind.

If you want to succeed in internet marketing, network marketing, or anything at all, it all begins in Your Mind.

Begin today to train your mind for the success that has always been within your reach.

I’d love to hear your comments about how you prepare your mind for success.

You CANNOT avoid them. You WILL encounter them. You will experience real-time FAILURES because of them.

BUT… without them… you can never SUCCEED.

The “Attitude of Gratitude” begins with embracing pitfalls, obstacles and failure. And it is the only attitude that will prepare you for attaining major-league success.

You absolutely CAN

• make money

• build a  business
• recruit down-lines
• work from home

• fire your boss

You can do all of it not by avoiding, but by engaging and embracing, all of the Internet Marketing Pitfalls you can find.

While failure is the only way to success, you need to learn from your failures and learn to use them to get your game to the next level.

When you need help getting to that next level, either in Internet Marketing or in developing MLM or direct sales leads, Contact Me, or ask me about My Mentoring Program.

I’d love to hear your reactions to this post.  What failures have helped you to progress to the next level in your business?  Remember, the road to success is paved with failure.

So I’m back. Dad’s health is on a plateau, I am comforting him in his final days or months or whatever, and I’m resurrecting those parts of my business that had stagnated. So I’m back on my blog for the first time in some while, and very happy to be so.

Internet marketing is such a wonderful business. Where else could I maintain my business while caretaking 24-7. It’s all a matter of setting goals and priorities, and sticking to your game plan.

Again, I’m happy to be back, and welcome you all to check out my newly release 5-day video series that I call “Up & Running”. It’s all about building prospect lists through network marketing and social media. Click here to check it out.

It’s great to learn internet marketing strategies, and it’s wonderful to create a game plan for outscoring the competition.  But when it comes to actually scoring some runs, you have to get off first base and head for second.  That’s the time to test your faith.

How To Get To First Base

You can’t score unless you get to first base.  Swing the bat, get a walk, even bunt… but get to first base!   You’ll never get around the bases until you get out of the batter’s box and become a base runner.

This requires a definite skill set.  You must know how to get the bat on the ball, or at least, avoid the pitfall of swinging at bad pitches.  “A walk is as good as a hit!”.

Apply your marketing skills and get yourself on base.

How To Get To Second Base

Now that you’re on base, the fun begins.

You lead off first, always looking at the pitcher’s feet.  If his feet shift toward first, you’ve got to get back fast or you’re out.

You take one step… then another… carefully, cautiously, maybe even nervously.

The pitcher gazes in at the batter, then suddenly turns and throws the ball to first base.  What do you do now?  You think you could get safely back to first.

But your gut tells you to take off for second.  You know you’ll never score if you don’t advance along the base paths.  But when?  Now?  Is it really the right time?

A Matter Of Faith

You may get back to first base safely.  But that won’t get you to second.

Do you have faith that you’re marketing plan will get you to second?  Will you beat the throw to second?  Can you slide under the tag?  Are you finally willing to take that chance and put your faith in your ability to succeed?

If you get thrown out, you walk back to the dugout.  You hang your head.  You know things didn’t work out.  You failed!

But you also know that before long, you’ll be back in the batter’s box and swinging away again, seeking the next opportunity to circle the bases and score.

So why not now?

If it’s because you really don’t have faith in your marketing plan, maybe it’s time to create a new plan.

If it’s because you really don’t have faith in your self, then maybe it’s time to stop thinking about marketing at all, until you’ve you find your own internal center.

Whatever the case, this might be just the right time for you to stop for just a moment… just long enough to test your faith in your internet marketing strategies.  If you are convinced they are sound, why not take off for second base?  If you lack that faith, return to first, but just long enough to develop some strategies you do have faith in.

Do you have faith in your internet marketing strategies?  I’d love to hear your comments!  If you’d like to challenge your friends to test their faith in their internet marketing strategies, please retweet this post, and share it on your Facebook wall as well.

Everybody will accept success if GIVEN it. But very few will abandon their current lifestyle, philosophy and status quo comforts to CREATE success. Why?

First of all because if might wind up in failure. Did you ever notice that the very first reason people give for NOT EVEN TRYING to succeed is that it will, or might, or could end up in failure. You will never succeed if you are purely focused on failure. That’s because failure is fear-based, and success is wholly antithetical to fear.

The Second reason… excuse… is that “I can’t do it”. I don’t have the brains, the money, the training, the experience… Whatever it entails, “I can’t do it”. What this really means is that I DO NOT WANT to take the 110% effort required TO JUST DO IT. Success takes a plan, then the ACTION required on a CONSISTENT and DAILY basis to put that plan into motion.

The Third excuse is that “I looked into it and it won’t work”. In other words, I investigated what it will take to succeed and have decided that I DO NOT WANT to do it… because… because it’s not easy!

There’s really only one way to step beyond these excuses, leave your fears behind and live your life in true abundance, happiness and success.

I’ll share that secret here:

Please let me know what you think of this post. I appreciate it if Retweet and share on FaceBook and YouTube. And, I’d love to hear how you overcame your fears.

1.  Intention.  Every day you need to TAKE TIME  to VISUALIZE your success in great detail and with clarity and fervor.

2. Action.  You need to establish a daily routine of putting into ACTION the success you are visualizing.  You action need not be extensive if your time is limited, but it is important to make it consistent and persistent.

3. Responsibility.  You need to take responsibility for your life.  Not just your life as you have it planned out, but especially your life as it happens.  All sort of things occur that would derail us from our goals.

But we always have the ability to respond to these occurrences in a manner that will bring us closer to attaining our goals instead of throwing up our hands in abandonment, which circumstances would seem to dictate.

Be grateful for all that comes your way.

Every thing is purposeful and helpful.  Even if you have setbacks in your relationships, health or business… these setbacks will teach us many things if we approach them with true and sincere gratitude. 

I’ve personally found that the deepest level of gratitude can only be understood in terms of faith.

So be in touch with your faith.  It’s not an aside in your life or in your business.  It resides squarely at the heart of the matter.

If you follow through with all these things, then you should be of good cheer!  Rejoice in your labor and know that your success has been attained… not by reaching a particular goal, but in living a life of sincere faith and resolute action to the best of your ability.  That, in and of itself, is your greatest success.

Once you have established this inner peace, you will release all tension.  While it’s great to be determined, do not confuse tension with resoluteness.  Tension is painful and destructive.  It will never lead to success.  Focus on your intention, and release all tension.

Your destiny far exceeds your personal efforts, and you need to harmonize with that higher path, and release the “stress” on your personal struggles.

These are just a few very basic Law Of Attraction principles that I try to weave into the fabric of my success journey.

That can be a good thing to the extent that it insulates us from the nonsense and negativity is often the main attraction in the real world theatre.

It can also make us forget our obligations, however… Our obligations to our fellow network marketers… to our family and friends, the land that sustains us, the creatures that walk with us.  We might even forget our duty to have an impact to the best of our ability on the world in which we live.

Today, I want you to step away from your business mind for a few minutes.  I’d like you to contemplate the prayer I offer to my Community… That is, to all my Relations… My Relations that are living beings and creatures, and those that are part of the inanimate world that I call my home.

This is a Lakota prayer that I learned many years ago, and repeat always.  I do not offer it because I believe that the Lakota world-view is any better or any worse than any other.  I offer it because it brings us into Spirit, as the prayers of all religions are designed to do.  It is the Way of the Lakota.

I offer this prayer as a challenge.

A challenge to comprehend your place in Community.  That place is as brother and sister to each other, as Keeper of the Earth, as protector of ALL our Relations on this Earth, and as children of the Great Mystery that is Sacred.

A challenge to comprehend the Source of Community.  This Source is what the Lakota call The Great Mystery.  Many call it God.  Many call it Spirit.  It is a single Truth.  There are not different Truth’s for different paths.  There is a single Truth, for all paths.  Depending on our religion, culture, or personal philosophy, We walk many different paths… but there is but One Source.  It is the Source that has inspired all religions and spiritual paths.  This is the teaching of the Lakota.

Most of all, this prayer is a challenge to live in love with all your Relations at all times.  This love comes from understanding and humbly accepting that We Are All Related.  There is no joy or victory in defeating our Relative’s army, or nation, or political belief, or religious dogma, or right to express their beliefs through marginalization, shout-downs or criminalization.  To do so expresses hatred rather than love for Community.

Do not say you love all people when you love only those whose views you share.  Do not say you love, when you sit at your computer, looking for ways to undermine those with whom you disagree.  Do not say you love, when you plot and scheme, and bear false witness against those whom you wish to discredit, because you do not share their beliefs, color, politics, religion or ideology.  Do not say you love when you speak hatred for your brother who watches a different news station than you, or for your sister who prays to a different God.

Dishonesty, angry words, plots to discredit others… These actions dishonor Community, and cause hatred and division that alienates you from Spirit.  You are hidden from the Light, though you receive great applause.

This is the Way of the Lakota.

I offer this challenge to you today.

Before you ridicule and scheme against those that you think are stupid, dangerous, narrow-minded, self-righteous and unworthy to be heard… Know that they are Community.  Labels imposed on them are artificial, meant to set them up for ridicule and scorn.  Do not see only black and white, right and wrong, good and bad, republican and democrat, terrorist and patriot, racist and purist.

Your violation of any person or group of persons’ right to be heard and to be loved EQUALLY with those you deem brilliant, wise and worthy… violates your sacred duty to Community, and prohibits you from being in Spirit.  Such actions of anger, hatred, POWER and PRIDE may gain you great popularity and acclaim, even fortunes and fame… but they destroy Community, and prevent it from being sustained in love… in Spirit.

Walk always in Love and Humility, ESPECIALLY when you believe you are endangered and wronged.  Love ESPECIALLY, those who plot against you.  This expression of Love is what sustains Community.

This is the Teaching of the Lakota.  Aho.
