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!
