Number One Killer Of Could-Have-Been Success Stories
Fear.
Everything in this world has its opposite.
Good has bad.
Optimism has pessimism
Positive has negative.
Success has failure.
If fear of failure rears its ugly head now and then as you set up your business, what it's doing is pausing your progress.
Sure you might spend a day or two thinking, 'what am I doing!' but you get over it and continue. But that's no good.
This ongoing temporary fear of failure keeps on blocking the creative tunnels of your mind. When you feel down in the dumps your mind is closed. It's not free to grasp the possibilities and within them bring back ideas.
Every time your mind stops to think, 'What am I doing!' it also stops you from savoring every moment you spend building your business.
And if this fear of failure sits at the edge of your mind, the only thing it's doing is waiting to resurface. If you allow it to reach its climax, you can be sure that this fear will stop your progress dead in its tracks.
Look at Success. Now look at Failure.
Do you want to succeed? Or Do you want to fail?
You want to succeed of course, so why focus on failure? Why allow it to occupy your mind, even if it's now and then?
It's what you choose to concentrate on which will bring you the end result. Concentrate on success and don't allow anything to block the feeling of success from occupying the only spot in your mind.
Failure is not an option because it's not the option we want. It's not included in our plans. And anything not included in our plans shouldn't be there occupying our thoughts.
Eliminate the idea that you will fail and install the one that you will succeed. Because that's what you are going to do.
Install the firm belief that you will make it and keep your purpose in mind. Nothing else matters but IT. You are an internet marketer and you are going to succeed as an internet marketer.
Does anything else matter?
You have to concentrate on eliminating this fear.
It's not going to happen overnight but if you begin each day thinking of success instead of failure, you will find that as each day passes, you will be thinking of success more until that fear of failure doesn't occupy your mind anymore.
