It’s so easy to do what others do and even easier to cast the blame when it doesn’t work out. It’s tough to come up with an idea or a plan and stick to it, especially when the level of success you hope for is not written in your DNA.

Have you ever come up with what you thought was a great plan only to talk yourself out of it before you got half way through it? It happens every day to thousands of well meaning people with really good ideas that never see the light of day because the feelings of self doubt somehow always creep in.

What makes it even worse is when someone else comes along with the same idea with the guts to pursue it and succeeds.

Achieving internet marketing success is only as difficult as you might tell yourself it is. This by no means is to say that it’s easy, nothing could be further from the truth. When it comes to learning internet marketing, you have to learn a whole new language and a whole new set of rules in order for things to start working out and then, you have to apply what you know.

That’s where it gets sticky. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you might start to experience “Achievers Remorse”. You start to feel like maybe you don’t deserve to be successful, because maybe no one else in your family tree has dared to do something as bold and audacious as what your trying to do.

You may start to reason that the success you’re looking for as an internet marketer, belongs to other people, but not you. This is the bubble of mediocrity that many people find themselves trapped in on a daily basis.

There are many knowledgeable marketers online who could write volumes of books about how to do this stuff, who are silently living life in quiet desperation because they are mentally stuck in neutral. They know what to do, they know how to do it, but for some god forsaken unforseen reason, they just can’t get themselves to take action.

It’s this lack of consistent action, followed by a hidden lack of conviction and passion for what they are doing that keeps them from bursting through the bubble of mediocrity. That burst simply fades into a slight push or nudge once in awhile, whenever they get a short blast of inspiration.

Those intermittent pushes against the ever so fragile veneer of their self created bubble only serve as a taunting frustration of what could be, if only they could get themselves to take action consistently enough without wavering and second guessing themselves all the time.

You’ve heard it said so many times before that the real key to internet marketing success is to build a list and yet taking solid action to actually build one is like trying to work up the nerve to ask the prettiest guy/gal at the party to dance with you. What do you say? You know how bad you want it, but you just can’t get your body to do what you’re mind is telling you. The pain and frustration of stepping into the unknown of what could be is limited by the perception of your own reality and somehow when it’s all said and done, you still find yourself trapped in that bubble of mediocrity.

Well at last, there really is only one way to burst through that bubble and that’s to stop thinking about it and do it. If you want to burst through that bubble and see the reality of what could be, than you need to start taking action as if you’ve done it all before. Have you ever noticed how easy it is do something, once you’ve tried and done it a few times?

I’m sorry for the long post, but I’m not sorry for trying to encourage you, so let me give you an illustration to round out what I’m saying here.

Years ago I played semi-pro football and let me tell you, there were a lot of fears that I had to overcome there, but there was one particular moment during every practice and every game that my fear would be at it’s absolute highest.

The fear that fluttered around inside my gut like giant aggravated butterflies would always come to a heightened crescendo right before the kickoff. All the training and all the experience I had acquired, right along with all the exercise and all the skills I had developed, suddenly meant nothing, until I got my first ‘pop’. It was very difficult to settle down and get my nerves together, until I made that first contact with the opponent, then the  fear of the collision became the thrill of the hit and now I was ready to play.

Internet marketing success, can be yours once you make the decision to be successful at it. Once you’ve made that decision, then the fear of failure, will become the thrill of discovery and every moment thereafter will propel you forward, moving you closer to the fulfillment of whatever your long imagined dream is. So it’s time you burst through that bubble of mediocrity and claim the success that belongs to you.

Look the fear of failure in the eye and tell it to KYA (kiss your ***), because it’s time to experience the true reality that you have the power to create. What it all boils down to is this, the most important letter in the word sccess is U.

To your internet marketing success,

Nando

Never Bow To Guru’s Again

I’ve just signed up for the Video Lounge access at Mega Red Packet and before I forget, I am writing in to tell you this.

Vince Tan, Edmund Loh and Stephen Luc are teaming up to release the Mega Red Packet on 4th May 2009. In case you’ve not heard of these dynamic trio here’s a quick background on them…

Vince Tan is a World Internet Summit speaker and the same man who pulled off the Biggest Firesale event in Year 2008 which broke the 6 figure record in just 3 days and then brought in $170,000 in only 10 days.

If you use Private Label Rights products often for your Internet Business then I suppose Edmund Loh doesn’t need an introduction; he’s the person behind more than 260 Private Label Rights titles under the PLRGold brand. Just late last year, he teamed up with expert video maker Stephen Luc to pull off a product launch called PLRGold: Videos and raked in $100,000 in 10 days too. Collectively, the dynamic trio has made more than a million dollars in sales.

So what is Mega Red Packet all about? (since it’s 3 months after the Chinese New Year)

When I first visited the Mega Red Packet website, it branded itself as a “Recession Show Stopper”. I didn’t think much of it initially since a lot of Internet Marketing opportunist won’t let go any chance to cash in on the latest trend. But I take back what I said when I saw the Video Lounge area.

Vince, Edmund and Stephen have produced and positioned Mega Red Packet to turn the tide for many people who are not only struggling in their pursuit of building an online business but also people who are affected by the current recession period.

Mega Red Packet is focused on this core of success: product + traffic = residual income. This is the closest definition to push button marketing where all the work has been done for Internet Marketers of all levels – whether you are new or seasoned. The Mega Red Packet team has invested nearly $100,000 and 6 months in conceiving this push button program and infrastructure, which gives the user a variety of products to get reseller and Franchise rights to new, original products and sell.

Mega Red Packet – The Real Deal Or Just Plain Hype?

Mega Red Packet is NOT about potential. It’s about empowering the Internet newbie to have his string of proven businesses in the form of Reseller Memberships for you to take full control of, and Franchise rights to proven Internet Businesses so that they can be put into the shoes of these 3 top Internet Marketers. The new Internet Marketer can now leverage off the credibility and proven model that the dynamic trio have discovered over the collective 11 years of marketing experience.

Traffic generation is another topic of great interest to some, and a great struggle to many others. The Mega Red Packet collection solves this more efficient and effectively than anyone, myself included, can ask for.

Vince, Edmund and Stephen are also taking this chance to launch their newest home study course named “Traffic Leopard” – aptly called ‘the next generation of traffic building’ that features a series of proven tactics to drive in traffic to your website, accompanied by a rich archive of case studies as used and experimented relentlessly by all of the 3 top Internet Marketers.

There’s also the Traffic Networks where Vince and Edmund have negiotiated with some of the top traffic building site owners to give generous credits to members of Mega Red Packet.

All in all, there’s more goodies in store in Mega Red Packet that I believe every Internet Marketer must look forward to. It’s ground breaking and non-conventional, not something you know so well of. Literally, all the work is done and I haven’t even talked about the new Private Label Rights products and software they are releasing in the Mega Red Packet event, that lets you do instant One Time Offers, Upsells and even Cross-Sells.

You can take my review with a pinch of salt but I strongly urge you to check out the site now and sign up for the free access to the Video Lounge (worth $297) and get onto their Advanced Notification List. (by the way speaking of that, they are also going to pick randomly 3 different names from the list to give free copies of Mega Red Packet on their launch day – you could be one of them!)

When you look at successful people it’s very easy to think that they were born that way. They look so happy and confident without a care in the world. Internet marketing success is not something a person is born with. But you knew that already, didn’t you?

What’s going on in your head?

The majority of the battle for internet marketing success is fought right between your ears. Of course there are many talented business people and entrepreneurs online and it’s very easy to get caught up with comparing yourself to them.

The problem with comparing yourself to the success stories online is that you don’t give yourself enough credit for what you can do. This is not to say that you shouldn’t read about other people’s experiences in an effort to take away some pearls of wisdom.

But…

You have natural talents and abilities that haven’t been tapped into yet. Often times the conversation within our minds downplays what our real capabilities are. To compound the issue further, we’re are fragile when it comes to our ego.

After all who likes to be told they’re not good at something, just because someone else is? Nobody. However, more often than not, we are our own worst critics and that negative limiting conversation going on in our heads causes us to second guess our own success.

Who do you think you are?

While there are many established internet marketers out there that would really like to help you succeed, there are the few that make it seem like you’ll never be accepted to their inner circle. You know what I say? So what.

Life is too precious and fleeting to be caught up in little circles. So stop second guessing your success. Anything that doesn’t work out is simply an education as to what not to do. Stop thinking that the success your after is reserved for somebody else.

You are somebody else… to somebody else. Get it?

I hope so, because your success is only as far away as your beliefs have placed them.

Internet marketing success or any other kind of success for that matter is not partial. It is not reserved for anyone in particular, yet you can’t achieve it without taking your foot off of first base.

Hey if you get tagged out, you still got two more outs, and if that happens you got eight more innings and if you lose this time around, start another game.

It ain’t over til it’s over and as long as you got air going in and air coming out, you can still succeed.

Hope this post was encouraging,
Nando
