Are you an entrepreneur? Here’s why you are not succeeding.
Are you looking for the Holy Grail? Lots of entrepreneurs, especially in the Internet marketing community, are looking for the magic button to make money online. Perhaps you’ve been guilty of it in the past? I know I have.
The symptoms are quite obvious when you take a step back and think about it. Do you seem to buy every new course that comes out but you never really get a chance to fully implement the previous one before moving on?
It’s like you’re chasing after the next shiny object – jumping from one make money online opportunity to the next. Be honest, are you stopping yourself from achieving entrepreneurship success?
I want to hear your thoughts.

Rings true to me especially when I was starting to know more about blogging. Got stuck in reading a lot without having to register my domain even if I already know how to.
Quick insights on being successful. I need more inspiration just like this. Do you know any other site where I can listen to some more interesting tips on making it in Internet Marketing
Hey Nicole,
Thanks for the kind words and most internet markets get caught in this black hole – just recognising it puts you ahead of the pack.
As for other places to check out, be sure to see my youtube channel, posterous account and http://www.podcastinterviews.com … in fact podcast interviews might be just what you’re after.
Let me know how you go.

Ps. Stick with it, you’re on the right track and the rewards are worth it.
I was lucky to have been skeptical from the very beginning. I think for me, the reason why I still struggle is not the lack of focus or action but the lack of a really good idea/system to follow. OR maybe my being skeptical is what’s holding me back. So that’s kind of the opposite of what you pointed out. I don’t believe there is a holy grail and my lack of faith in any online system might be stopping me from reaching my goals.
Hey Kris,
Interesting… Let me ask you this, do you believe you can make a full time income online? – you specifically?
Interested to hear your thoughts.
Dave
I am a lurker in the various IM forums. While I did learn a lot, what I did not do is put what I’ve learned into practice. It is just too easy to get information overload. But I’m trying to correct my wrongdoing. I’m trying to act now. 🙂
Although there are lots of these systems promising to help you on reaching success, it’s still you who will decide and take time and effort to succeed especially in Internet Marketing.
@Michelle,
That’s good to know, you see, it is really easy to just read a lot when you are inside forums with great people sharing ideas on how to make it big in business. It might be something challenging at first, but the real test comes as soon as you step out of your comfort zone and start doing something to finally go for what you really want (setting up a business, for example.
@Amanda,
That’s right. That is why it is important to come up with your own system of doing things, believe on it and act on it as soon as you can. 🙂
Hey David,
Nice thoughts ! I believe that innovations and hard work is very essential for an Entrepreneur.
Very well said, David. If I have only heard of this message as soon as it got online, I could have stopped myself from shutting down my business 3 months ago. I could have been motivated enough to give it another year. Mine’s not an online business but I guess your message goes for all entrepreneurs.
“Anything that’s worthwhile doing gives you reward and results. It takes your time and effort…no shortcuts.” <– I won't forget this. Thanks, Dave.
@Michelle Focus focus focus. Pick one or two gurus that resonate with you and follow them. Try not to get too caught up in all the hype.
@Amanda Yup.
@Neil Appreciate your support there.
@Sandeep Stick with it, the rewards are worth it.
@Terry Anyone who tells you it’s get rich quick probably isn’t telling you the full story. Takes 10 years to become an overnight success 😉

It’s the position of being the perpetual student , isn’t it? It is very easy and can be thoroughly exciting and stimulating to be always taking in new knowledge. At some point we need to grow up and take responsibility by putting what we have learned into practice. Thank you for the timely nudge to start doing exactly that.
