Hello my fellow marketers,
Every successful business owner that I’ve known ALL have a vision.
Many people have had a vision that they could focus on and then lost sight of that vision. If you lose sight of your vision, you begin to lose hope that you once had. I have lost hope before and let me tell you from experience that when you lose the hope that you once had it is game over.
I looked around at the lives of others and I saw their life and it was not a pretty picture. Seems like everyone I see is setting around thinking poor, or saying things like poor me. I remember when I had those thoughts as well. I know how easy it is to get to that place in life. One of the biggest problems I see that is holding people back in life is a, “victim mentality”.
Marketers have not really helped you out in general by always reminding you of your state, the state of help to get me out of this place.
They’ve told you that 95% of you were going to fail trying to achieve the steps they were laying out before you. The reason for this was because you would not take the required action need to make them work. They put the blame right on you. If a person is not going to take action of any kind and just set around and complain that they can’t figure things out then I guess they get what they get. Then they tell you boy I wish I could help you but it is just not going to happen unless I do it for you.
Ahhh, isn’t that what we have sort of done now?
We’ve decided if you were not going to do it yourself we would promote ready-made systems that we would set up for you so that all you needed to do was click the buy now and start making money.
This is all very cool except for one part. They’ll show you how but you still had to do some work to make the system work. But because it was not really promoted in a clear manner it has allowed you to say poor me you sold me something that is supposed to solve all my problems by allowing me to make money without any work involved. What a scammer.
You may think this is crazy and even foolish of me to say, but I can send you support ticket after support ticket of people that say what I just said almost word for word.
We’ve helped many people make it easy to blame us for their lack of success.
But more often than not it really has to do with just the lost or lack of vision for their own life.
We have let any vision of success seem to fade away and now all we have left is this crazy victim mentality of poor lost me. Look what the world has done to me. We do have a choice to make at this point. Sure it may not have been our fault that we are in the position we are in right now but it is our choice to remain there.
Here is what needs to happen. You need to work on getting your vision back. Formulate and brand indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself succeeding in life. What does this picture look like? Go ahead and dare to dream again. Once you get that picture in your mind you keep it there and do not under any circumstance permit it to fade. Your mind will seek ways to begin to develop this picture.
Your mind always tries to complete what it pictures so never think of yourself as failing; never doubt the reality of that mental image you can see. You need to be always picturing ’success’ no matter how badly things seem to be going on in your current state of your life.
I remember when I first decided that I wanted to make just enough money to catch up on a few bills. What kind of mentality is this? It is the same mentality that many others seem to take on and perhaps so have you. Many of us have taken on a “just get by” mentality.
If your vision is small the outcome will be small. The size of your vision will have a tremendous effect on the size of the result.
Keep your vision sharp and clear in your head. Even if you’re feeling lazy or lethargic, take 5 minutes out of your day to go somewhere quiet and to remember the vision you want for yourself. Stay close to your vision, and take action everyday to work towards it.
In my next blog we’ll be taking a look at “Your Business Plan And Goals!” So Stay Tuned!
and Here’s to Your Continued Success,
Tony
