What Is Stopping You From Being Successful

What is stopping you from being successful? You might be surprised to find out the true answer.

Here is an email that I received from a Chris Rempel. He is a down to earth online marketer that has some real world advice that has helped me out in the past. I always take a look at his emails because there is usually some good content there. This email is no exception. It deals with the struggle that most people have online and definitely is the issue that I have and have known about for some time. Just because you know what the problem is doesn't mean you know exactly how to solve it. But this speaks to me in volumes so I am putting it on the blog.

This is a long email.

And for anyone who struggles with the simple act of actually
"getting stuff done" (like I do) - this is well, well worth
the read.

Stay with me - and prepare for a shock to the system...


How to Actually Get Out of a Rut and See Results:
-------------------------------------------------

I think it's safe to say that feeling "stuck" is a common symptom
when you're trying to get things going online.

And I'd also bet that - 9 times out of 10 - the challenge really
isn't about "the task".

Sure, lots of people struggle with things like getting traffic,
etc. But that's really more of a side-effect than the actual root
cause of WHY we get "stuck".

Unfortunately... it's a bit more complex.

I've received literally hundreds of emails from people over the
years expressing that "if they could only get more traffic", or "if
they could only find the right market" - or whatever - then
everything would work out. The dream would become reality. If only.

"IF..."

That's one dangerous little word.

You see - and I'm saying this as somebody who still struggles DAILY
to get stuff done, make progress, etc. - the REAL problem when
we're "stuck" is NOT that we don't know what to do. Hell - most of
the roughly 30,000 people reading this right now probably know
enough to teach a college course on Internet Marketing.

(Not kidding - that's the truth).

Instead - and pay very close attention here - the REAL Problem is
this:


***********************************

We Don't Believe In Ourselves...

So We Mask That Weakness With a Scapegoat ("IF Only _____")...

...Because Dreaming is SAFER than Trying

***********************************


I think that will resonate with a lot of people reading this.

Well, maybe I'm wrong - but I know it sure resonates with ME. Over
the years, I've come to see that "inner struggle" as my TRUE
challenge.

When a project goes stale, or runs out of steam... it's not because
I "couldn't find the right keywords". Or "get enough traffic".

Those are things that are easily quantifiable (and in many cases
"copy-able"), and it's just a matter of doing.

Instead - when something flops, stalls or gets "STUCK"... it's
because I've internally CHOSEN things like escapism, distraction
and "reactive action" (ie. checking emails all day, checking stats,
etc.)...

...as opposed to actually doing very simple, fundamental things
that drive results.

(And that's another "nugget" takeaway from this - the big results
are from "boring" fundamentals. Content, links & list-building. Not
"tricks", "hacks", "secrets", etc. That's basically just ebook
fodder in this market.)

Okay, so...


***********************************

How Does Somebody Overcome the "Inner Roadblocks"

And Embrace REAL RESULTS Instead of SAFE DREAMS?

***********************************


That is - quite literally - the million dollar question.

It's very similar to dieting/exercise. It ain't no secret, folks.
Eat less + exercise more = Guaranteed Results.

(And it's not really even that hard to do.) The tough part is
summoning the inner resolve - the WILL - to act.

But why is the WILL TO ACT so freakin' hard!!??

I honestly don't know.

Maybe it's just one of those human-condition things.

But I DO know that over the years, I've only found ONE strategy
that always seems to work when I encounter this sort of "mental
rut"...

...and it's very, very simple.

Now, because of that, be careful not to underestimate the power of
what I'm about to share. Actually TRY doing this, and you'll be
amazed at the mental clarity it produces...


Going Nowhere? Get Yourself a Hammer & Nails...
-----------------------------------------------

If you know my "success story", you know that it was actually
(initially) an accidental wave of results, which then basically
ignited an intense wave of motivation and drive within myself to
essentially repeat the same, mundane, "boring" process over and
over again.

With the result being that I generated 6 figures in about 6 months
time, and by the end of that year I was routinely seeing $1K/day in
net affiliate commissions.

And what always went through my mind as I was eagerly pushing out
sites, doing basic link-building, basic content creation, etc. was
- really - just how straightforward it all is.

"IT'S JUST LIKE BUILDING A DECK"...

You get your supplies, your hammer, and some nails, and then you
just nail it together piece by piece.

Until it's done.

And that's all there is to it.

Pure simplicity in action. There's no "secret searching". No
"discovering the way".

Just build a damn deck, and when you run into obstacles, Google
your way around them. Not hard.

WHAT'S HARD IS BRINGING YOURSELF TO DO IT.

And the only thing that has worked for me, over the years, to stay
on task and maintain progress is to revert my thinking back to
"Building a Deck". Forget about the inner doubts. The "fear" of too
many options. The subtle negativity that says "don't try too hard
in case it flops".

Forget "magic formulas". Forget "wishing really hard to be
successful so that the universe will unlock the magical success
vibrations in your direction", etc.

JUST BUILD A DAMN DECK.


-------------------------


Building "Decks" has opened a lot of doors for me.

It's actually pretty mind-blowing.

But everything I've done that has produced real results - and I
mean EVERYTHING - has been the result of what was initially just a
few days of "production mode". Making a plan based on simple,
common-sense observations. Getting domains, getting content,
getting links, etc.

Building my proverbial decks.

Scouring forums hasn't made me a single dime. Neither has
daydreaming. Nor has complaining, wishing, whining, etc.

But my little "decks" always work.

That's what works for me, anyway.

And this simple, single "adjustment" in mindset every time I get
myself stuck has worked wonders.


-------------------------


Now - here's a question...

"Do you think this area of REAL challenges is covered enough for
internet marketers?"

(My guess is you said "no").

If that's the case - be sure to check this out:

This is sort of like the "Bible" of "Build a Deck" thinking. And
it's produced by a marketer who I can truly call a good friend (we
normally spend hours each month on the phone talking shop), and I'm
continually inspired by him.

He's the online millionaire who is BLIND FROM BIRTH.

His name is Matt Wadsworth, and he is the definition of Unstoppable.

For those who would appreciate this kind of "real life" training
from a REAL marketer (ie. doesn't make their living as a "Guru"),
then this has my highest recommendation.

Matt is the real deal, folks.

And what he's developed here makes my "Build a Deck" principle look
like a footnote.

Well worth your time to check out:

Okay... long email.

Wheww!

Well - hopefully that struck a chord with some folks.

And more importantly - maybe it will inspire even just one person to
dump the "noise" and embrace the raw simplicity of doing things
that get results.

Just like building a deck.

Plain, simple - and life changing.


All the best, Anthony
