Marketers that are currently earning any significant income on 'Net (or off 'Net for that matter) know that (1) you must never quit and (2) trial and error is many times inevitable. After awhile, you gain experience (which is a nice way of saying you have taken your lumps).

Experience is key.

I believe that you should not chase every program under sun. You need to find a few select programs that really work and truly work them. It is quality and not quantity of programs that will lead to your success.

There are just certain tools that every marketer should have to even begin to think about succeeding online. They don't have to be exact tools that I use, but they should be in ball park.

Choose right programs, use right tools and right techniques.

And most of all - Never, Ever quit.

So we still haven't dropped a dress size or made our first million. Our businesses are still stumbling along and only thing that's growing is our overdraft (not to mention our waistline)

So what's answer? Are we condemned to a life of mediocrity? Do we have to give up on our dreams?

The answer is accountability. We have to be accountable. (No I'm not talking about tax office) To ourselves! To our futures! It's easy to go out and buy a book, a little harder to actually read it. Phew! We then sit back hoping that this time we've found answer, this time we'll see it through. This time we're actually going to make it work!

The only way to make your life work is to take action. Start that business, buy that investment property, stick to that healthy eating plan!

Of course do your homework first, make sure your decisions are viable. You don’t have to take uncalculated risks. But don't get stuck in "analysis paralysis"! Procrastination can sometimes be our worst enemy.

After all if you don't try you will never succeed and that may be greatest risk of all.

“The best years of your life are ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, ecology, or president. You realize that you control your own destiny.” ~ Albert Ellis
