Fail Your Way To SuccessWritten by Daniel Brough
It’s easy to find winning strategies for making money online. Do a quick look-up on words ‘make money online’ and any search engine will give you hundreds of results. There is not just one way to make money on Internet – there are thousands.And yet very few people actually do make money online. Why? Fear of failure. Fear of failure is single greatest obstacle to Internet success. We’re taught in school that failure is bad. This notion is reinforced so strongly that often our fear of failure is even stronger than our fear of consequences of that failure. Our fear paralyzes us into inaction, and doing nothing is certain and sure road to failure. The truth is this: Anyone can make thousands of dollars on Internet. But it’s equally true that almost no-one succeeds immediately. My own Internet success came in pay-per-click arena, which I now teach to others. My story sounds encouraging at first blush. I started a pay-per-click campaign for some affiliate programs, and first month I cut a $1500 profit. I now But rest of story (as Paul Harvey would say) is this: first two days I failed miserably.

Most people have a desire (need) to connect with others, especially others who are like them in some way. When you meet someone for first time, what initially attracts you to them? Is it a personality trait - way they smile, or expressions they make when they talk? Maybe it's a physical feature - their eyes, their hair, their dress, or way they carry themselves? Or, is it subject matter - you have similar interests? Are your friends people who you would not mind having as relatives? Are your relatives people who you would choose as friends? Would you do things with your business associates if not for workplace? What draws you to others is a fascinating thing. Most of you will agree that variety is spice of life, that differences make life interesting, but how many of you would actually choose friendships and associations with people that you know are quite different from you? Imagine potential if people actually went out of their way to befriend and/or create alliances with someone totally different - in color, in culture, in lifestyle. That could truly be an enriching relationship. The possibilities for sharing and exchanging seem endless. Are most people capable of being that open with each other? It is one thing to be able to sit and chat with your friend, exchanging facts and antidotes about your week, when you both have similar backgrounds and mindsets. Suppose that you're both college grads, have same degrees, both married with children. You shop at same stores and watch same movies. Mostly you mirror each other and reinforce that "we're ok" feeling.
