Deny New And Shiny For Internet Marketing Success
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
A common problem with people who have tried and failed at internet marketing is that they continue jumping ship, from one product to another, from one tactic to another. One week it’s PPC, the following it’s article marketing. One month it’s list building, the following it’s social media. You’ve committed to do the 30 Day Challenge – again – and then another “guru” launches another “must have” product. This is the most common problem I come across as an internet marketing coach.
Everything changes so rapidly in the work of internet marketing it’s difficult to keep up and even harder to keep focussed long enough to finish the projects you start.
Nevertheless, if you don’t develop the habit of concluding what you start you’re going to be forever frustrated and that IM life-style you so yearn for will forever stay hard to get hold of.
Chances are, if you have been around the internet marketing block a number of times, you will have already developed the impression that you are not good at concluding projects. And right there is a good place to start.You need to develop a success mindset.
The simplest way to alter the beliefs you have regarding yourself is to transform the truth about you. And that is not as hard as it might seem. You just need to notice more and pay closer attention to what supports you.
To transform your belief about being a bad completer you need to begin noticing where you really do finish projects and start to put together a track record of the tasks you do finish.
Buy a notebook and put the date and “Things I Have Completed” at the beginning of the page. Then, as you go through the day keep a note of all the projects you have completed, both for work and personal life. Fill your list with little things in the beginning, the more the better, so you set yourself up to succeed. For instance, 5 items on your list might be:
- accomplished key phrase research for “internet marketing coach” phrase
- added a blog post to my main site
- wrote an article to submit to goto article directory
- cleaned out one drawer in living room
- read a chapter of my book
At the end of every day read your list to yourself and record your success. You will find that the more you notice the tasks you finish, the more confident you will grow to be that you really are a completer. Then, one day, you will observe that the tiny steps have become a full-size completed project and your view of yourself as someone who starts things but never finishes them has been replaced.
