Magic Bullet Marketing Blog

Over the past two days I’ve been sharing a story of an old client of mine who came to me because he was unable to succeed online. He seemed to have all the right tools, but he just wasn’t able to put it all together.

This happened several years ago, before I had any personal internet money-making experience (I was working strictly as a therapist).

So we sat down to get to the root of the issue. Did he have the education? Yes. Did he have the smarts? Yes. So what was the problem?

I asked him outright:

“Do you think you can succeed?”

He answered with a hesitation, and said “yes”.

As a therapist, the hesitation said A LOT to me. And then it hit me, this person was afraid.

The fear was holding him back.

How many times have you not done something because you were convinced that you couldn’t?

It quickly became obvious to me that this person was not 100% committed to success, and until you make that commitment, it is pretty hard to get there.

So we took a long look at the barriers he was facing, and what he needed to do to change them.

1) Honestly, it is hard to work on your own. You don’t have the structure that you get in a “dayjob” and don’t have a boss breathing down your neck.

We worked together to create a realistic schedule. Specific times that were set aside each day to completely dedicate to the business.

2) Skepticism. Does this “internet stuff” really work? Believe me, I use to wonder that too. But until you get over the barrier and realize that the internet is a place full of wonderful and amazing opportunities, you will have NO idea what you can accomplish.

3) You Need to Be Realistic. You are not going to make thousands of dollars just by turning on your computer. It is going to take work. This is just how it is. The good news is that if you are willing to put in the work, it is easier then you realize to grow into an incredibly successful business.

So what happened next? Well, my client was able to make these commitments, and also understand the barriers that were holding him back. Once he was able to find his “groove”, he got to where he wanted to be.

No more “desk job” for him

I hope that those of you out there reading this will stop back and take a look at where you are at. Obviously if you are reading this, you are interested in making money online too. What is holding you back?
