So I want to share some simple tips with you to help you get faster results than me because I was stubborn and did things the hard way.

1.) Enjoy the journey

I really wanted to make money and when something didn’t work, I jumped around trying different business models.

Then I discovered affiliate marketing and I carried that same pattern into my affiliate business.

I was always chasing that next sale, putting massive pressure on myself and comparing myself to others.

I noticed this same thing with other people, they are so determined to make a sale they never take time to enjoy the little wins.

Like me, they didn’t take time to learn the skills.

When you learn the skills it gives you the ability to make money.

When you look at your business as something fun and a new challenge to master, you see the process.

Learn to enjoy the process and have fun with it.

I wish I learned this much earlier because in the beginning, I was chasing the every shiny object hoping it would work.

2.) Focus on one step at a time

I was struggling all the time even when I made a few sales.

I would think about what if this, that or the other happens, and try to plan everything out in my head.

The reality is everything you plan in your mind usually doesn’t work out how you planned it.

Share some simple tips

You will never be ready and things will never go exactly as planned.

You have to learn to adapt, pivot and keep going.

Focus just one step at a time and do the best you can.

When you expect to hit some goal in a specific time frame you feel like a failure if it doesn’t happen.

You have set a time frame and go for it, but don’t focus on the income goal.

Focus on taking daily actions you need to do in order to reach the goal.

Thinking about the goal will not get you there.

Working daily and doing the right actions will get you there.

Do the best you can today, that is all that you can do.

Don’t live in the future, live for today.

If you don’t get everything perfect realize no one does.

I sometimes mess things up, but I just keep going.

You must realize that no one has everything figured out 100% then you realize you’re normal and it’s okay to make mistakes.

Don’t try to get things perfect because you never will.

Just do the best you can today and stay consistent and you will be amazed at what you’re capable of.

3.) Don’t compare yourself to anyone.

Someone will see someone doing great and they think that person has a secret they don’t know or that person is lucky.

You’re not seeing the full picture.

You don’t know how many failures that person went through.

Or how many times that person had imposter syndrome like you and wanted to quit.

You don’t know how hard that person is working behind the scenes.

Or realize all the sacrifices they’re making because this is a priority in their life, not something they’re dabbling with.

Share some simple tips

Comparing yourself to others is a losing game, play your own game in life.

Focus on beating your own high score daily and getting better at the skills you’re learning.

Focus on being consistent at doing the skills even if you suck right now.

When you focus on playing your own game you will always come out on top.

I’m not competing with anyone other than myself.

Who cares what someone else does, it’s irrelevant.

I just focus on bettering myself.

When I share some simple tips with you…

I know these tips might seem overly simple, but this is 90% of the game.

Your best thinking got you to where you’re today.

Your best thinking today will determine where you end up 6 months from now.

Change your thinking and you change your life.

I hope this helped at least one person today to keep fighting and keep pushing to make your dreams come true.

I’m no one special. I just refused to never quit on myself or my dreams.

Keep going, You got this!

There are many poor reasons to get involved with MMO. In fact, joining a MMO business for all the wrong reasons is a recipe for disaster.

Find out the many poor reasons to get involved with MMO opportunities.

And discover exactly why this kind of thinking can be so dangerous.

Make Money Online, or “MMO” can be a great way to earn a small paycheck to a job quitting income.

However, many people join MMO opportunities without really knowing what they are getting themselves in to.

This is probably the main reason that people think “scam” about these types of businesses.

Poor reasons to get involved with MMO

MMO opportunities work if you do it right. Period. With that being said, here are some poor reasons to get involved with MMO:

Earning “easy money”

I know the slick sales pages are very good at promoting their business as a simple 1-2-3 process that anyone can do and become an instant millionaire.

It’s standard to use long and over hyped sales letters.

This is like claiming that anyone who can boil water can be a master chef.

Don’t get me wrong, I do think most people CAN make money online if they put their minds to it.

But you must be prepared to learn many new things and you WILL have to work for it. Make no mistake about that!

Expecting “spill over” to do all the work

Many opportunities are built on what’s called a “forced matrix”.

For example, in a 3×9 matrix, when you get your three first new members, the fourth will be placed under the first person you sponsored.

This person has thus gained one person in HIS downline, without any effort on their part.

Now, some companies would have you believe that their top recruiters are so effective that the spill over from their marketing will automatically make you, who are joining at the very bottom right now, an instant success.

This is simply a pipe dream – it will never happen.

Yes, you probably will get a few people spilled over into your downline, but nowhere near enough to guarantee your success.

The sheer width of the matrix on your level, means that there is an enormous amount of representatives that will have to share their spill over.

And who says the top recruiters are as active as they once where anyway?

Most likely, they are now working on something else entirely, because their income in this particular opportunity is already secured.

Thinking that a product is so great it will sell itself.

This is a classic mistake, because most MMO systems simply aren’t about the product at all.

As a newbie, I remember joining an opportunity that paid you to play the lottery even if you don’t win!

My thinking was that “everybody” would want better chances at winning the lottery – right?

It utilized the common method of lottery pools as their ticket buying method.

You know where a bunch of people all buy lots of tickets and split the profits?

The disappointment was huge when I discovered the truth.

It will not matter if you are selling a breakthrough product that contains every mineral and vitamin under the sun – if you do not understand what network marketing is really all about.

Doing an old friend a favor.

We have all been there, an old friend you haven’t heard from in years who suddenly calls you…

And wants to talk about something he will tell you more about when you meet…

I’m not saying that this couldn’t be a potentially good business.

But calling all your friends is not very effective, and you should never join any opportunity only to do someone else a favor.

Because in the end this is about you, your money and your career.

Earning a lot of money in a short period of time.

Most testimonials always seem to go something like this:

“In my first week I made $800 and now, in my third week, I have been able to quit my job and…etc.”

While not outright lies, testimonials like these are usually collected from individuals who:

• Through luck or skill, managed to join from the very beginning.
• And are simply at the top of the pyramid.
• They knew exactly what they were doing
• They are the MMO experts.

Poor reasons to get involved with MMO

Most MMO opportunities have a life cycle that grows rapidly in the beginning.

During the prelaunch it can be very easy to enroll dozens of new people per day, with relatively little effort.

After all, this is something entirely new and one well placed video or blog post can do wonders.

However, if you join after this initial launch, it’ll be more difficult to see quick results and it requires more effort to attract new people into the business.

Patience, knowledge and the right strategy to succeed can be found here.

Big name “X” endorses this program.

This is somewhat related to the previous point.

Mr. Big Hitter has made thousands of dollars with this program already and he is not shy about telling anyone how EASY it was.

And he’s probably not lying either. It was easy – for him.

He has been involved in MMO long before this one launched, and he already knows all the right people.

• They also know their stuff.
• And have the resources.
• Engaged email lists.
• Advanced marketing tools
• Know how to get the word out to a large number of people.

Never assume that you instantly could pull off feats worthy of a MMO expert.

Thinking this is a free business to run.

I’m not talking about the cost of joining this opportunity here because that is a given.

So many people think that they can make money online entirely for free.

Sure, there are some free marketing techniques you can use, but free only gets you so far.

Where free ends, you need to invest in yourself.

Your motivation for starting a home business shouldn’t be based on one of the reasons mentioned above.

Treat your business like a business, and you will be okay.
