I guess it’s been a while since my last discourse, hasn’t it?

Well, I’ve been busy……busy reading, busy working, and busy playing.

I’ve spent some nice recharge time on Sunset Beach and Mokuleia on Oahu (vacations aren’t over-rated).  They inspire some of my most creative endeavors.

The entrepreneurial world can be at times maddening, but when the celestial planets line up, the payoff can be extreme.

No, I’m not getting existential on you.

Just trying to prod you.  Get busy living.

Stop to smell the roses, but don’t get stuck in the mud.

Make time to love the significants in your life.

And ask yourself this question:

What have I done to make the planets align for me today?

Said Newbie posts on one Marketing Forum (we’ll call it Forum A), struggling to find success, impatient because the big money is not rolling in, and then, in his lastest string of Internet Marketing ventures, finally ends up making…….$75.

A week later said Newbie goes to Forum B, announcing the launch of his latest Internet Marketing Product or Newsletter, or E-book………in which he will divulge the “jealously guarded secrets of Internet Marketing”, so you can be a smashing success.

Just like him.

Sad to say, but I’ve seen this happen with frightening regularity in the Internet Marketing world.  Is it the height of arrogance?  Is it outright fraud?  Is it plain stupidity?

I’ll let you answer that one yourself.

Needless to say, I’ve never seen any Newbie who’s taken the fast Guru track truly succeed.  Typically, they end up back in the wallow of whimpering mediocrity.

See to it that you never follow this strange and embarrassing path.

Mr. P

It amazes me to no end how many times I see a Newbie to any phase of Internet Business, having bought a $35 E-Book, a $50 a month membership, or a $1299 Internet Marketing Course come to the game with absolutely unrealistic expectations.

They paid their $35, $50 a month, or $1299 and expect to be making $20,000 a month within 30-days.

Let me be your reality check.  You will fail.

Miserably.

Despite what you may read in a sales letter, or hear in a late-night informercial, starting an Internet Marketing Business takes work.  It takes perserverance.  It takes skill.  It takes luck.  And yes - it takes Capital.

Are Internet Marketing Products too hypey?  One could make a good argument there.

But if you’re stupid enough to buy into the “$20,000 a month with no effort whatsoever” crap, guess what?  You’re the flip side of a decrepit co-dependent Internet Marketing relationship.

Now let me complete the cycle…….you will have failed miserably.  You will blame the product.  You will blame the Guru.  You will blame everybody and everything associated with the product.

But you will not blame yourself.

You should.

And then you will surf over to the next product, forum, or training system that promises $30,000 per month.

And the vicious circle will continue.

Take a hard look in the mirror sometime.
