5 reasons people FAIL online
By: Henry Gold
Many Newbies have emailed me stating that they would like to make a six figure income from their Internet business.
My usual response will always be "GREAT".
However, after a certain period, they start telling me that they have given up the idea of having an Internet business, leaving all their dreams behind.
Do you know why?
Here are the five biggest reasons why they FAIL:
1. They treat their Internet business as a hobby.
Be honest with yourself. Those Marketers who become very well-known online work at least 10 hours a day.
I spent 14 hours a day on my new project, Make1Million.com's package, for a full 10 months before I released it on Oct 31'03.
So what makes you think that you should work 2 hours or less to make a good living online?
2. Working 10 effective hours NOT just long hours.
I learned from a good friend, Jason Mangrum, that we need to devote ten useful hours.
Let me explain further...
Many people tell me that they work so very hard every single day.... but they get less and less done.
It means that you NEVER plan ahead :-)
Successful Marketers will write down what they would like to accomplish today, tomorrow, this week, this month, or even the next three years before they start working hard on their projects.
Shouldn't you plan the same way?
I schedule what I should do from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm.
When should I watch "Last Samurai" this week?
When should I clean my room this weekend?
or
When should I call up my Joint Venture Partners?
This is how I have become more effecient.
3. Don't excercise at all.
To receive fresh, new ideas, you MUST devote yourself to the gym or other forms of physical exercise. I have seen many marketers start to become less effective after they eat their lunch.
Many people start to feel sleepy after a luncheon buffet that was really cheap in the restaurant next door. This creates depression, throws out your schedule, and in turn you fail.
Most people will start blaming their online business saying it is just a myth and they will never become successful.
So, who do you have to blame? :-)
Your ineffectiveness, right?
You see many Internet Marketing experts will spend their one hour at the gym working up a real sweat.
Do you know why?
To be effective, and to get fresh new ideas every morning.
Why not try to devote some time every morning, before you go to work, working out at your local fitness center?
I G-uarantee you won't blame your online business for failing you anymore.
4. They always believe that they are the best.
This is the number one reason why you will FAIL in Internet Marketing.
Why is that, Henry?
Because nobody is number one.
This is what I have learned so far. I've learnt that to become number one in Internet Marketing, you need to learn from others...How?
Learn by participating in message boards. Here is one of them:

Of course my other suggestion will always be obtaining materials from others whom already make a good living on the net.

Those people know what they are doing online and surely you'll learn many shortcuts that will bring you close to what you're trying to achieve online --
Make More Money, right?
5. No commitment to what they do online.
Before I got into Internet business, I always told myself that I MUST earn thousands of dollars per month online, regardless of what type of issues I have to face.
Many people, when they first come online, would like to become a follower of other Marketers.
I've seen many Newbies who will not hesistate to ask me....
"Henry, what do you think about this business opportunity?"
"Henry, that guy is making $10,000 per month? Should I listen to him?"
If you're one of those people who is always trying to follow other Marketers, you will NEVER be successful.
To become very successful online, you need to become your own leader.
You need to follow what is right for you.
The reason I bought many books and materials from other Marketers was because I wanted to discover what I was missing in my online business.
That's all!
I wont completely change my ideas with another Marketers ideas, but I will supplement my business with some of their good ideas.
So the key to learning from other Marketers is as easy as learning what type of information you would like to develop further. NOT to change your whole principle in Internet business.
Closing note: I have to mention one more thing. Another reason why people FAIL online is because they stop trying.
Phsychology takes place when you don't make money in the first place...
or
other people start telling you that your idea is not going to work at all.
The truth is they may be jealous of you. The truth is they don't want to see you become successful.
If you have know me for a long time, you must know that I failed many times before I became very successful online.
Remember: keep trying harder and harder, and you too can make a good income online.
