Internet Marketing And The Business Mindset

Posted by JasperP on August 4th, 2008

So how bad do you want to have Internet Marketing work for you? Or even have a successful business for that matter?  I believe that it comes from this inner desire to change yourself and to fulfill your dreams.  But how bad do you want it?

Here’s a little story that might help illustrate this:

Once upon a time, there was a guy named Bob who would sit on his porch all day with his pet dog, Fido.  Jack, who likes to take walks around his neighborhood,  always passes by Bob on his way to the store.  Everyday, Jack would hear Fido constantly whining, but he would just lie there all day.

One day, Jack decided to ask Bob, “Hey Bob, how come your dog is always whining?”.  Bob replies, “Well, it’s because Fido has a tack in his foot.”.  “Then how come Fido doesn’t try to remove it?”, Jack asks.

“Because it doesn’t hurt bad enough”, Bob says.

Now that probably wasn’t best story in the world, but it does illustrate a point.  If something hurts bad enough, then people tend to take action to improve their situation.  A lot of people are comfortable with their situation and never go beyond that.

Being able to materialize your dreams is something that comes from within yourself.  When you find your reason to fulfill you dreams, then you’ll go beyond the failures and obstacles to reach your destination.

In this business, failure is not an option. You will most likely fail at some point doing this type of work.  Why? It’s just a part of doing business.  Some things work and some things don’t.  Once you improve your tolerance for failure, you will start improving your business mindset.

With Internet Marketing, there are so many things that can go wrong and so many variables to take into account.  Demand, competition, copywriting, data analysis, coding, design, work habits, learning ability, etc, etc.  I could probably go on and on, but you need to understand what your strengths and weaknesses are in order to compete as a marketer.  This means that you’re going to be learning some things that you have never learned before and the learning curve can be kind of steep.

Remain persistent and push forward through all the failures and you might find yourself in a profitable situation.

“Fail as fast as you can.  Get it over with and move on.”
