All Great Achievements Take Time

This morning, Marnee Masales posted a Max Steingart video entitled "All Great Achievements Take Time." Here is a link to that video:  www.ibosocial.com/dmerrill/videos.aspx?videoid=20985

We know the reason most (95%) of internet marketers fail to make money because they expect to find an opportunity that will make them rich beyond their wildest dreams, over night, with little effort on their part.

But, all great achievements take time. And making enough money online to replace the income from your JOB would be considered a great achievement.

In the video Max suggests that all successes are made up of a series of smaller successes. In internet marketing our smaller successes are few and far between. That is why it is difficult to "keep the faith" long enough to be successful.

I always tell people to break their goals down into smaller bite sized pieces. One you achieve the first bite sized piece, go after the new slightly larger piece. I also tell complete beginners they should have a three year plan in place to develop their business.

I actually started with a 2 year plan, broken down into 4 x 6 months sections. By the end of my first six months I wanted to be earning at least $500/month. But the end of my second six months I wanted to be earning at least $1,000/month. By the end of the third six months I wanted to be earning at least $2,000/month. And, by the end of the fourth six months I wanted to be earning at least $4,000/month.

That's not to say I wouldn't try to beat those goals but I felt those goals were realistic and achievable. Combined with my other income an extra $4,000/month would give my family a wonderful lifestyle and I was willing to work like a dog to make that happen for two years. Plus, it will continue growing after two years.

There is no easy answer to making money online. Making money online is simple but it is not easy.

And we know that all great achievements take time!

Great blog. Most people do give up when their right at the brink of success.
 
Paul Newman   333 day(s) ago
Excellent blog Don. To your success!
 
Jack Albright   333 day(s) ago
Great blog Don. Nothing happens overnight in Network Marketing. To be successful in anything, it all starts when you take that first step. Thanks for sharing.
 
Wim van der Donk   333 day(s) ago
Very well said Don! The long march of Ghandi to liberate India from the English after all started also with one singe step! Step by step, patience and persistence is all what is required (plus some great help from others on IBO!)
 
Dee Martin   333 day(s) ago
Very good ideas, Don. Small victories will eventually become one large victory.
 
Susan Evans   333 day(s) ago
Right on Don, shared4U!
 
MIKE DIALS   333 day(s) ago
Great Blog! Loaded with details Don! IBO TOOLBOX is the place to "launch" any new marketer. Thanks for sharing! Much success to you!
 
courtney cox   333 day(s) ago
Great post and so true! People always loose faith when they are not making money right away! I know I have lost faith before, that is why now I am determined to make this one work! Definately a very encouraging post! Thanks

Steve/Vicky Bruce   333 day(s) ago
Great post Don, I think you covered everything. Have a great day and GO IBO
 
Southwest Day Spa   333 day(s) ago
Max is right... everyday is a learning process and take everyday step by step. Don't rush things, that might cause a lot of difference from the actual thing that it has to be if it was taken one step at a time.
 
Renita Lowry   333 day(s) ago
Thank you so much for this very thoughtful post Don ..too many people leave a project way too early..and di not receive the training needed to help them as well..and all of that takes time. Have an amazing day;)
 
Bruce Ashman   334 day(s) ago
Great advice Don - to often we seek "instant gratification" instead of "planned security" based on effort. But you will achieve security fater on line than offline. TB&L
 
Phil Kent   334 day(s) ago
Hi Don - Great post and so important to haved the 'gosl-setting' in place. Thanks for posting.
 
Lonnie E. Shipe, M.A.    334 day(s) ago
II'm hanging in there. It is much worse when one quits and does nothing.
 
Marnee Masales    334 day(s) ago
Hi Don a great idea doing a blog on the video. I know when I started I thought I was going to get rich over night. In fact I wrote a blog at one point called Miracle In A Box. I strongly believe this is why so many give up. They give up too soon. Take care!
