Hello again.  I’ve just enrolled in John Thornhill’s Partnership to Success program.      I have completed the first week and am now blogging about it.  Without giving too much away about the program, I want to discuss something that shocked as well as surprised me.

John advised to check out other people’s blogs so that I could get a feel for the sort of information a good blog has.  So, I set about looking at the blogs of the following people: Jim Cockrum, Paula Brett, Dave Nicholson, Dan Thompson, Skip Mcgrath and Omar Martin.  I was amazed at how professional these blogs were and how honest they were.  Talk about give it to you straight!  If you don’t want to be told what the ‘reality’ of internet marketing is all about then these blogs are not for you.  If you want to live a pipe dream then there is plenty of shonky operators out there just willing to sell it to you.  They aren’t too hard to find.  They will tell you you can make millions and retire on a few clicks a day.  What rubbish!

Now, getting to what shocked and surprised me.  I took a look at some blogs from some other ’internet marketers.’  In some cases I found that the website no longer existed or there hadn’t been a post for at least 6 months!  Now, how are you supposed to run an online business if no-one knows where you are or even if you are still in business?  It’s beyond me.

Getting back to the program, due to the time difference between Eastern Australia and the UK, I have to do a lot of phone calls, webinars etc in the dark of night.  Will this stop me from being successful? No. If this is what I have to do to succeed on line then so be it.  Will I get tired? Yes.  Will I have to put in the hard yards when everyone else is asleep?  Yes. Does this mean I have to be organised so I can achieve my desired results? Yes.  Is there any excuse that will stop me from succeeding? No.

As my father always says, “You get out what you put in.”

 

Until next time …
