Why you need to think right

I started this blog almost a year ago to chronicle my attempt to create an online income. And for me it has been a struggle. I thought by now I’d have a steady income and be living the dream. The reason, I think is my mindset and my thoughts about success and my ability to achieve my goals and in order to achieve any success I need to go back and work on me.
So far my income has been zero, due to two things - inaction and inappropriate action on my part. To sum it up, I have allowed my fear of doing anything remotely different to stop me from taking the steps required to achieve any level of success.
I don’t know if there are any statistics but I guess there are far more internet failures than successes and I’m sure this is true in all walks of life. I have no doubt that there is money to be made online. What I haven’t figured out yet is what singles out the successful from the rest and how to get myself from wannabe to super-success.
I have read many excellent self help books that promise to teach you how to be happy or rich or whatever it is success means to you. I have surrounded myself with them and been intimidated by them and eventually put them away (and continue to buy more) but I read them like novels never taking the time to actually do what they recommend and complete the exercises. I don’t think it matters which book you pick up, you will learn something from each of them, but you have to put into practice what they tell you to do.
Like self-help books, even the best internet business products need to be used and followed as directed. If not, then you might as well leave your credit card in your wallet. And while I have not spent a lot of money, I have spent a lot of time looking at these business products and have not been catapulted into action. Why because I have either not taken action or taken the incorrect action.
I guess I am not alone in this. Many people buy online products in the hope of being the next overnight internet sensation, buy into the hype and are disappointed that it is not that easy. Or perhaps they are a bit more sceptical, unsure of themselves and believe that while it may work for someone else, it won’t work for them. This is the broad category I fall into.
As a result, my website is started but not finished, I am still struggling to find a job in the real world and am undecided about a potential opportunity to earn money in direct sales because it is something I have never done before.
I would now consider myself a bit of an expert on self-help theory but a novice in self-help practice. So, in order to get over my fears and doubts about internet marketing and a myriad of other terrifying things I am going to use this blog to chronicle the personal development aspect of my journey using what I know about personal development and the Law of Attraction in the hope that within the next three months I will be well on my way to achieving my goals both on- and offline, so that by May, there will be fitter, healthier, happier and whole lot wealthier me.
