Facing Our Fears A Candid Look at What’s Holding Us Back

Home Business Start up; Facing Our Fears

If you are like me, learning all these keywords and concepts like list building, affiliate marketing and lead generation is daunting, but most of us can grasp them. The absorption of these elements can actually be fun and rewarding, especially when we are dreaming of making extra income. Then the realization that it is time to put some of these marketing building blocks to actual use…then the reality hits. You ask yourself the question, can I really do this? Do I want to do this?

I will be honest. I face the same questions you do. I know I need to find a way to generate more income, but that nagging feeling in the back of my mind says, “Come on, this is too good to be true”. I worry about how extra income will affect figuring my taxes. I stress about all the legal red tape will be involved in starting a home business. In a nutshell, I think, maybe I’ll just stay where I’m at.

Do you face these same questions? Do you fear the risk of failure…or even of success? I think we probably all do. I think it’s part of being human. So what makes one person take the chance and another just sit on the sidelines and watch others make money?

I am fascinated by Jeff Wellman’s story of how he started in Internet marketing. After losing his job at a well-known manufacturer, facing the prospect of being middle-aged with no prospects, it’s a nightmare that haunts us all. Nevertheless, Jeff found a mentor, his own Son, Keith who helped and coached his Dad to start a new career.

There are some people that become entrepreneurs by necessity, like Jeff did. A job crisis forced him to turn a corner and try something new. He had to face fear, while learning all types of new things. His situation had its own particular challenge, losing ones income and finding a new way to make money. Not a pleasant prospect, but his example is inspirational. He wasn’t too proud to let his Son teach him some new tricks.

You may be like me and be fortunate enough to currently have a job. You have a good life, but you have some dreams to make it better. You may want to retire soon, but worry there is not quite enough money to go around. You may dream of owning a better home or send your children to college. You have your dreams, but fear is keeping you from challenging your comfort zone. Does this sound familiar? It sure does to me.

Obviously, no responsible person should jump into something without the facts. That is why we endorse these training programs, so you can intelligently make new career path by knowing the key principles of internet marketing. Once you have gleaned enough of the facts, then you must decide what to do with them.

I am challenging you, along with myself to try something new this summer. Why not take some of the first steps toward financial freedom? Maybe you can create a domain name, start a blog or go all out and begin marketing your own creation or purchase a PLR product. The main thing is, let us start somewhere. We shouldn’t expect quick results from a get rich quick scheme. We know there will be work involved. There will be missteps and failures, but we can get up again after being knocked down.

Think about it and take your first step today. Maybe it’s just signing up to Jeff’s email list to receive a free offer and learn about some exciting ideas you can incorporate into your financial plan. I wrote this article for you, and I wrote it for myself. Remember, dreams are just dreams until we work them into reality.

Layoff Notice:  Well, it finally happened.  At first you were hoping it wouldn’t come.  Then, you thought it might happen.  For a while, you figured it was going to happen but hoped somehow it would not.  But, eventually, it did.  You received the notice, the layoff notice… The Pink Slip.   Maybe it is even worse.  It’s not just a layoff but your company had to close its doors completely.  No chance of going back to work there.

Now you are in the midst of unemployment paperwork, standing in lines at the unemployment office, filling out applications with hundreds of others, going to job search workshops and maybe even contemplating going back to school for a change in careers.  There is probably not much else you can do.  Or is there more you can do?  If you thought about getting some extra training or going back to school, why not make it an experience that can change your life and not just your wallet.  Internet marketing is an ideal situation and could very well be an answer to your job loss and to a more fulfilling way of earning an income.

Internet Marketing Partnerships Better Than Outsourcing

Internet Marketing  and home online business startup has it’s way of throwing lots of little wrenches and challenges your way when you are trying to get going.  Especially when most of us do not have all of the skills that are needed to get EVERYTHING done that is needed to be accomplished in order to run our howe Internet Marketing Business.

Most of us just do not possess all of the skills needed to do everything.

I found what I feel to be the best way around this.  I found a partner that has the skills I lacked and I have the skills that my partner is not as strong in.

It used to scare me a little to think about taking on a business partner.  I wondered if we would get along just right or if I was going to be able to bring in enough money into my home business to support two.

When I finally decided that it was the right thing to do I found out how exciting things can really get.

All of the sudden my business started to explode.  My partner was digging in and getting the things done that used to keep me dead in the water with my business.

I lacked the technical skills to really move forward as fast as I wanted to.  Not my partner Dixie Brown though.  She is the Internet Marketing Tech Goddess!  Not only her tech skills, but also her several years of offline project management skills came right along with the package.  Needless to say my business is more organized than ever before.

There is another solution and that is outsourcing to others to accomplish the things you just do not find yourself to be skilled in for running your Home Internet Business.  We can talk about that another time.

If your worried about finding a partner don’t be!  You will know when the right person is there and when you join forces you will be amazed at what begins to happen with your Online business.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting my partner face to face for the first time after 2 plus years of working with her when I went out to her home in IOWA.

We held a networking event with some of our students from our Layoff Your boss Marketing group.  What an exciting time is in store for you when you make the same decision I did to bring on a fantastic partner into your Online Home Business.

Don’t let your lack of certain skills set you back… Find someone with the strengths that compliment your weaknesses and watch your online business explode with profits.

Live in  your greatness as you strive for the success you are intended to live with.

Well here we are ready to stand face to face with a brand new year once again.  Many love this time of year as it is an opportunity to reflect on our days past and to consider our future.

Well that means it is time for each of us makes resolutions  It is time to make those commitments to change something about ourselves or the life that has presented itself to us in the out going year.

Well it is very Unfortunate that our resolutions will typically only lasts for a few days and then once again…
You guessed it…we find find ourself right back with the same situation or habits that we swore we would never
visit again.

Why is it that we tend to fail miserably at achieving these resolutions so easily?

I have been doing some thinking on this and I feel it has something that probably falls somewhere between our intent and the realities of life that tend to impose themselves upon us.

New Years is wonderful… The new year is something that marks a brand new beginning. It seems to give us a sense of new hopes and renewed energy.

There is just something about the excitement of the brand new year that compels us to really make some very radical changes in our life.

I have been trying to figure out if this year will be even more dramatic or if we will see less resolutions being made.

On one hand we have been going through some major economic changes in our lives over the past year, talk of recession, job losses, crazy gas prices, home heating, major stock market crashes that are pretty much depleting retirement accounts, major business and industries going under.

OK enough depression I am sure you get the point… Heck you have been living with it in your life the last year.

With all of the craziness going on with the down turn of our economy, many are ready for change and will go looking.

There are those that will charge full force into the New Year filled with hope and excitement and will once again pursue the dreams and goals and they will believe with every ounce of their being that the possibility of positive change is lurking right around the corner.

On the other hand I have talked with those that seem to have given up hope, and really don’t see any possibilities of their hopes and dreams every becoming reality, and really see no sense in making silly New Years resolutions.  Whats the sense…something out of their control will just come along and put out the light once they get it re-lit anyways.

The third person will enter into the New Year with a skeptical and cautious hope.  Wanting it desperatly but not fully believing that it can or will really happen for them.  But just maybe if they hold on long enough they will catch a long awaited lucky break.

One thing in common that all 3 people have is the possibility of failure.

I am sure it is easy to see how person number 2 and 3 will fail but what about the person that is charging full force full of life and enthusiasm into the New Year ahead fully expecting change to happen.

Well I believe that sometimes we get so excited that we lose a bit of perspective, or all sense of reality.  We are forgetting all of the parameters that really tend to govern our lives and the demands of life that are going to be in competition for our attention.

I see this all of the time with students who come all eager to get started making money online thinking it is their time, and as soon as they get into things a little ways they start realizing their job or family is taking so much time that they really don’t see how they can possibly make it work. 

They stop attending coaching classes and send me an email after awhile letting me know how sorry they are that they have not been attending but they have just been to tired at the end of the day to pursue a dream.

We think we can take on the world and we really feel we are ready for it but once reality of life sets in, we can become easily discouraged and we lose our focus and hope.

Instead of re-looking at the goals and seeing if there isn’t a better way to go about things, we just say oh well It was just a silly dream anyways and it isn’t like I haven’t broke resolutions in the past.

Sometimes the dream is so big that we forget to put smaller more achievable and measurable steps in place to help us stair step our way to the big goal.  In this case we never see our self making any accomplishments along the way so we once again get discouraged with our progress and we quit.

If you were to add in some smaller achievable steps in-between the start point and the actual realization of your goal you would see your self making progress and soon as you marked off the steps accomplished you would find your self at the point of living what is no longer just a dream…it is reality.

Another reason for failure is that we never tell anyone about our goals and dreams or resolutions as we are calling them today.  By nt telling anyone we can say to ourself, Oh well I can quit and nobody will ever know because I am the only one that knew in the first place.  Hey way to go…you left yourself with a big fat easy out.  Where is the accountability?

Ah nobody likes to be held accountable anyways… so forget that one.  Well forget it only if you want to set yourself up for failure once again.

Maybe you have some thoughts on why we fail at keeping our resolutions.

Maybe you have some advice you can give as an expert New Year’s resolution achiever.

Maybe you can identify with one of the 3 characters above I described.

Will you make a resolution this year? If not why not?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

We would also love to help you out this year and help you get your New Year 2009 off to a brighter start financially.
