Our Possibilities are Endless

I’m generally a pretty positive kind of guy. (Despite the
occasional rant). And on top of that I’ve been making my living
as an Internet marketer for long enough to know that it isn’t a
fluke. But I still get depressed by the constant outflow of
negativity I constantly read.

You can’t spend more than five minutes on any Internet marketing
forum lately without being subjected to a dozen or more people
moaning and griping that nothing works, that Internet marketing
is an illusion or that people who teach the methods that work for
them are scammers.

Sometimes I actually find myself believing all that crap.

Every now and again, in an unguarded moment, I sit here reading
how hard all this is and how impossible it is to make sales, and
my stomach does a back flip. Have I pinned my family’s future and
security on smoke and mirrors?

Once in a while I suffer a moment’s panic that I’ve fallen for a
line and that my world will come crashing down on me – and all
those people who are constantly bleating on and on about failure
and how making money online can’t be done will laugh and point
and say ‘I told you so!’

Then I look at my PayPal account and the moment passes.

I don’t know why some people seem to be programmed to fail. Maybe
they are not – maybe it is just that they are terrified to
succeed because to do so would force them to shift their world
view.

I do know that the constant negativity can be highly corrosive –
if it even causes me to have doubts, goodness knows what it does
to someone who hasn’t yet learned how to succeed!

The answer is, of course, to avoid places where those people hang
out – including almost every forum I’ve ever been on. But that
would be to cut off my nose to spite my face. I like forums and
learn a huge amount from them.

And once in a while I like to try to inject a bit of out and out
positivity into some of the threads, to show people that it can
be done and that this funny old Internet business isn’t as bad as
they are making out.

That’s not to say that it is easy. Oh no. But it IS possible

It usually falls on deaf ears, but we do what we can!
