I’ll give you the “secret” recipe to your online success right now… Drum Rolls…

Knowledge + Action = Success

That’s it! Pretty impressive isn’t it?!

I know, not that exciting but it is what it is. It’s so simple yet so difficult to implement on a daily basis.

At least it’s been for me.

Today, after more than 3 years in the “online” world, I’m still working on being a better action taker.

To tell you the truth, I’m far from being where I would have hoped because of one thing I’ve either not taken action when I learned something or I just abandoned and left when I should’ve persevere.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have my success stories (We’ll keep that for another post…) but in general, taking action and keep focus has been a major learning process over the years.

We marketers have so easy access to so much information and “distractions” that we tend to develop a “comfort zone” in the learning process. You learn something new, you get all exited, we start our project and then the routine tasks come in and this is where we get bored and move on to the next project or should I say search our next “rush” or “bring shiny object” as they say.

Following this path will get you nowhere and only bring frustration, loss of confidence and debts! Believe me, I’ve done it!

Here are my top 3 tips to help you avoid this track by all means possible:

1- Don’t “follow” too many Gurus! Unsubscribe from all newsletters but two or three that are written by good marketers that you can look up to, share their values and can learn from by looking at how they do things. Too many emails from gurus will only distract you and make you loose focus with all the info they’re providing and products they’re promoting.
2- When you invest in an IM product to learn a method on making money online and you like what you read/watch, do it NOW! Not tonight, no tomorrow, NOW! Even if it’s on a piece of paper… If it’s a step by step product, don’t go through the whole thing at first. Just read first chapter and take action. Then read/watch chapter 2 and go back to apply what you learned. This is what I’m doing with this blog and this is why you’ll see many things change around here in the following days and weeks.
3- My final tip for the day would be to plan. Plan every freakin’ thing that has a link with your online business. What income you expect, what you’ll do with that income, what you’ll do to get that income, etc. How can you expect to get anywhere fast if you don’t know where you’re going in the first place, etc. Let the nowhere driving to the college dropouts seeking their ways in life and make a better use of your time! My major successes were all planned and it helped me stay focussed as I tended to get back to my old habits.

Dam, I have so much fun writing these posts! I feel like I could write forever but I’m sure you have some actions to take and some money to make so I won’t take any more of your time with my “perfect French Canadian English grammar” posts.

Let me know how I can help you in any ways!

Take action now and make $$$ big time!
