Well I hope so far everyone is enjoying my series on goals. Unfortunately I’m not getting them out as fast as I had hoped. Working on the internet is a great thing but I don’t care what anybody says it’s not all cut and dry. Most of my time is done affiliate marketing and blogging and if anybody ever tells you that you can go to sleep and put your business on cruise control then think again because that’s not the way it happens. Anyways that’s not what your here to read so I will get on with my next excerpt on goals. I Think I Can Remember the story of the little red train that didn’t know if he could make it over the hill. However with these words it gave him enough incentive not to quit and with persistence he made it over the hill. So when you are feeling overwhelmed or you just feel like you are going no where then say these words. As silly as it may seem stand in front of the mirror and say “I think I can.” You can even change the words to “I know I can.” I guarantee after a couple minutes of this all the defeat you are feeling will go away so you can sit down and get back to work. Always Be One Step Ahead For sure when you get started at anything you do whether it is affiliate marketing or playing baseball it is going to take you a while before you start recognizing problems and dealing with them. However once you do it is imperative that you deal with them before they happen. Being proactive will not only save you time and money but it will save you a ton of grief. Always Be Eager To Move Forward Motivation is one of the biggest factors when you’re striving to be successful. I found it important to have a nice supply of motivational tools available to me. These could be books, tapes, cds or DVDs. When ever I would start feeling down or doubt was showing up inside my head then it was time for some motivation. These tools have helped me several times to get back on track. There are a number of motivators out thee with tools. Do a search and you can find them all over. You can even find the tools at your public library. Remember You Are Only Human Remember you are only human. So you need to give yourself a break and don’t criticize every little thing you do. You have to allow you’re self to make mistakes and be flexible with your actions. It doesn’t mean you should allow yourself to miss goals but if you do then calmly find out why you missed them an attempt to not let it happen again. Love What You Are Doing You have to be passionate in what you are doing to achieve success. It doesn’t matter if it is affiliate marketing or learning to ride a bike. If you have passion and love what you are doing then putting effort into what you are doing will become easy. However there is one thing to remember. Don’t get passion mixed up with obsession. That could be very dangerous. Well this concludes the 5th excerpt into the goals series. Keep on reading and I know you can use some or all of them in whatever your interests are. Dale Mazurek
