The Law of Attraction And Online Marketing
I read an interesting forum post recently where someone commented that ‘The Law Of Attraction’ is all B.S. and should rather be called ‘The Law Of Action’.
He made some good points saying that having positive thoughts are good but if you are only going to sit in your armchair waiting for good things to happen you are heading for the poorhouse!
Thought I’d share my view with you…
I have a little framed card on my desk that I received from my late mother a couple of years ago. It is called ‘A Philosophy For Life’ by Gandhi:
Keep your thoughts positive
Because your thoughts become your words
Keep your words positive
Because your words become your actions
Keep your actions positive
Because your actions become your habits
Keep your habits positive
Because your habits become your values
Keep your values positive
Because your values become your destiny
Thoughts set a chain reaction in motion.
I see it all the time… A good example is a recent post on Warrior Forum where someone made a post saying that internet marketing gurus lie to us and that he knows more about online marketing than anyone else on Warrior Forum…
Yes, it was a real B.S. post! However, what I found interesting was observing the chain reaction. This guy basically transformed his negative thoughts into words. To make a long story short he was made n/a (deleted from Warrior Forum) by the moderators. After reading his first post I could already predict his destiny…
Thoughts are very powerful!
A friend recently told me how he had a lot of problems with his bank cashing commission checks from Clickbank. He used to get quite upset and things often got out of control resulting in him getting no support from his bank. This only made him more angry and frustrated.
He used to be negative before even stepping into the bank, fully expecting problems cashing his checks. One day he realized that he should not be so negative. He decided to be positive and friendly, and to find out exactly what problems his bank had cashing his checks and how he could help the bank to overcome these problems.
His changed attitude (originating from having positive thoughts) made a huge difference. Within no time at all be reached a win-win compromise with his bank and has not had any problems since.
If you think that online marketing is nothing but a scam and that you will never earn a good income from internet marketing your negative thoughts will become your destiny!
Fact: There are many marketers that earn more than a $100,000 pa. from online marketing. I am not even talking about the ones earning more a $1,000,000 pa!
The first step is to accept the fact that it is possible to earn $100,000 per year from online marketing.
The second step is to believe that YOU can earn $100,000 per year. Let’s face it, most successful marketers do not have any skills that you cannot learn as well. Many of them used to have very average jobs such as being a school teacher, construction worker or car salesman.
If they can do it, why not you! Think about that… Don’t sell yourself short. Please do yourself a favor and start believing in yourself.
By having positive thoughts you will set a good chain reaction in motion.
Let me clarify something… I am not saying that all you need to do is believe you can make $100,000 in 2008 and then go and sit in your armchair everyday waiting for the money to miraculously materialize out of thin air in front of you! This is not what ‘The Law Of Attraction’ means to me.
What I have found is that by having positive thoughts I attract certain opportunities into my life. In many cases these opportunities were right in front of me and I just didn’t see them before.
Let me give you one example that is not related to online marketing…
Several years ago I read Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. I believed what I read AND I believed I could do the same. After reading the book I bought several properties with no money down. I have since flipped (sold) most of these properties and have made well over $100,000 in net profit from this part-time hobby!
Many people said it couldn’t be done. Many financial experts said Robert Kiyosaki was giving out bad advice. Some people even called him a fraud…
You know what, none of these people ever made a dime!
Important: I am not saying that you should go and buy property! What I am trying to illustrate is the difference between being positive and being negative.
One last point… None of us like to be around negative people that only complain all the time. There is a saying that if you lose all your money you normally also lose all your ‘good weather’ friends. I don’t think it is 100% correct.
I know people that have made and lost fortunes and have never lost their friends. Why? Because their thoughts remained positive. It is normally a lot easier for these people to recover from financial failure. Bitter people often alienate all those around them.
Being from South Africa you will excuse me for using the example of Nelson Mandela. Here is a man than spent more than 20 years in jail for his beliefs. I have visited his prison cell on Robben Island. I have seen the limestone quarry where he had to do hard labor.
You know why we all love him? Because he is the kindest, most generous and most positive man I have ever come across. His positive thoughts have become his destiny!
To YOUR Online Marketing Success!
