Sustaining the Mindset of a Successful Internet Marketer

Working for yourself online as an affiliate marketer or a network marketer, etc. can really play with your mind sometimes. Sustaining the mindset of a successful internet marketer can be a real struggle.

Some people are so terrified of their online business failing that they get so paralyzed with the fear of failure…and they end up never actually build their online business at all.

They start, but they get stuck with fear.

People who never fail aren’t trying hard enough.

They’re not putting themselves out there.

They’re playing in the sandbox when the whole yard is still waiting to be explored.

Not trying is a form of failure.

How can you ever reach success if you never go through the failures?

Some of the most famous people in history failed over and over and over again before they were successful.

This was the case with Thomas Edison.

He never stopped trying, no matter how many times he failed.

Success was inevitable because he learned from each and every failure and kept the momentum moving forward.

So if you’ve ever failed, then congratulate yourself.

You at least had the guts to attempt something when so many other people won’t even get to that first step.

I’ve seen this for years.

Most people are really excited about starting their online business and then when the first obstacle presents itself or something…anything…doesn’t work or go the way they thought…they bail on their business.

This is why your mindset is one of the most important pieces of your success.

Online business is a roller coaster ride and you have to ride out the highs and lows and accept both your failures and your successes along the way.

So, stop being afraid of failure because this means you’ve taken action in your online business and you can learn what does not work and then course correct and keep going.

But what happens to many people when they fail?

They tell themselves they were stupid to even try.

They say they should have known better.

Negative internal feedback can break a person’s spirit.

Also, it does not help if you have been discouraged by friends or family from even trying to have an online business at all.

So, you have to be your own cheerleader and maintain your own mindset.

When you have an obstacle or a failure that comes up in your online business, changing your mindset to Iook at what you can learn from it, is the best thing to do.

Instead of the negative self talk and criticizing yourself in a way that is not constructive, speak solutions to yourself.

Tell yourself that maybe you missed something and then go back and try to figure out what went wrong.

Tell yourself that you need to try again and start over from where you left off.

Doing this instead of just giving up can change your entire outlook.

The internal dialogue you feed yourself can be your greatest ally or your worst enemy.

So what happens when you set out to succeed as an internet marketer and you’re met with failure?

If you listen to negative internal dialogue, you won’t get back up from that fall.

But, if you see failure as one more step forward to figuring out what will work, then you will find the success that you’re seeking.

Everyone in life who has ever done anything big has failed.

But they didn’t let that failure define them in their minds.

Failure doesn’t have to be the period at the end of an attempt.

Instead, failure can be the teacher that shows you a way that won’t work and spurs you to keep looking for a way that does work.

It’s all in the mindset.

If you’ve failed in some way with your online business and the surefire method you thought would work, didn’t work…

…the product didn’t sell

…the traffic never materialized

…the product or promo launched fizzled

Those unfortunate events don’t mean you’re a failure.

It means you have to figure out what element of them didn’t work.

Maybe you went into internet marketing not understanding all that you needed to know about promoting and the 101+ other details that can make or break you in the world of online business.

Perhaps you didn’t do enough homework before you launched the product.

That doesn’t mean the door is closed permanently.

It just means that you need to hit the drawing board again and find a new way of doing things.

But, while you’re trying and working toward success, you have to keep your mind on the eventual outcome, not the little setbacks that are part of every online business.

Keep your eyes on the end goal – which is becoming a successful internet marketer – and use anything that’s less than a success as your helper.

Use it to teach yourself perseverance and a way to come up with a better method.

I’ve been through this so many times over the years and it has all come down to how much I really wanted to succeed and if I wanted that more than I feared failing.

I always chose to keep going.

Remember, when it comes to your mindset about success and failure…the only way you can truly fail 100% is to completely give up.

So, don’t give up. Keep going.
