4. They’re not be all and end all. There are much better ways to attract visitors via web than search engines. Website owners who really know their stuff and have invested 100s of hours marketing their website (or got experts like magnet4web to do it for them!) attract over 80% of their visitors via sources other than search engines – directories, links etc. If a search engine goes bust or changes way it ranks you and you rely on it too heavily you can suffer in a big way. If vast majority of your traffic comes from many, many links then you can still continue to thrive.

Remember – traffic from search engines should be treated as an additional source of visitors to your website – not only source.

Now, here is part where most people give up. They say to themselves "Internet marketing is nothing more than a series of steps that I cannot complete. I am always excited when I get started on something, but when it comes down to DOING what I start, it gets hard and doesn't happen as fast as I would like it to."

Let me make one thing clear right now: It is not net's fault for not providing us with real opportunity. Opportunity abounds and is right there for us to snatch up and achieve success. Never let yourself fall into trap of reasoning your way out of success. "It's not for me." "I can't do this - it's for people much better with computers and internet marketing than me."

The problem lies with your focus and your fear of success. You must CHOOSE opportunity you are passionate about, or create a product you stand behind and love, and then hunker down for long-haul! Make yourself do everything you are taught to do to build your business and build it - all way or not at all.

It should be no surprise next time you get an email with next best thing inside. You should say to yourself "That's great! Another opportunity for someone has just been born! But I am busy with MY business and cannot take on another venture at this time."

We Do It On Purpose

Lack of focus is sometimes a purposeful self-defeating tactic your subconscious uses to keep you from success. Success is NOT a destination. It's a journey. And that journey scares hell out of 99% of normal, everyday people. So be it. It IS scary to think of radical life changes, even if they are for what you consider to be far better than your current situation!

But don't let a lack of focus and your fear of success tear you away from your dreams. USE your fear and confront it, right now. Today.

Make hard decisions and stick to them, then begin process of working on a focused, tight marketing campaign to make whatever venture you choose venture that sets you free.

Wear electronic blinders. Keep lean and mean and only take on new responsibilities that will be good for your CURRENT business.

Throw rest in trash.

We all know there are tons of opportunities out there. That is a fact. It's time now to get stars out of your eyes, choose your niche, your product, your affiliate program or your MLM, and get to work. Make a vow not to stop until you are where you want to be financially.

The question is not "Can you really make money online?" This has been proven time and again over years by thousands of people, many of whom you read about all time.

The question is "Do you really want to be one of those people, or are you stuck in a cycle of constantly sabotaging your success with a lack of focus?"

The cure for Sign-up-itis is focus and hard work. Success is something you decide to achieve one day. It's that decision that is often biggest hurdle any future success story has to conquer.
