When you learned how to ride a bicycle... did you quit?

When you learned how to drive a car.... did you quit?

When you learned how to use a computer... did you quit?

You kept working at it until you knew at least basics of how to do it.

Why can't people do same with their internet business?

Are you starting to understand now? How ridiculous it is to quit?

Once you get this basic concept embedded into your brain, you are half way home.

Winners never quit. Quitters never win.

You have to give any program you are associated with at minimum one year and at maximum 3-5 years to make any sizeable money.

If you jump from program to program, you will never see any money.

Quit-itis... it's a disease that needs to be stamped out on internet.

There is just way too much hype out there and everyone expects to make money over night and I am here to tell you it just won't happen like that.

You will make money... but it will take time and it will take some work. Those that put in time and work necessary will be rewarded. Those that don't will not. That's true secret of internet marketing.

Winners never quit. Quitters never win.

Fixing me with a steady gaze, he firmly stated, "Read to me." My first reaction was SOP for child demands as written in official Parents' Manual. "I can't read to you now, Nicky. Daddy's working." He is a highly intelligent and perceptive young fellow who could plainly see that his father was poking at computer keyboard (as he has done) while wearing old jean shorts and sipping lemonade. It was perfectly obvious to him that I was not working. He then replied with SOP for Parent Refusal of Demand as written in official Children's Manual.

He raised volume. "Read to ME!" By this time, my poking had stopped and my lemonade was becoming warm and watery. As exchange escalated (parental authority - stubborn demand - parental bargaining - stubborn demand - parental pleading - stubborn demand...), true underlying objective was achieved. My productivity had been shot to pieces. After this episode had concluded ( you know, that Dr. Seuss was a very succinct expository writer), I realized how ill-prepared I'd been by corporate world for such encounters. When my oldest boy was little, I worked in an office in a big city an hour's commute away. Working at home has proven to be very different in many respects than working away from home.

I wonder if there are any professional journals about this sort of thing?
