Today’s post is a reflection of some personal fears when it comes to building a network marketing business .
As I prepared to meet with a professional counselor on some personal challenges I have been facing, I noticed an index card attached to a small lamp with the above Dr. Phil quote on it.
"You cannot change what you do not acknowledge."
~ Dr. Phil
It seemed like a very timely quote.
I sat thinking about personal quality traits that perhaps I had failed to acknowledge and might have been the cause of the personal challenges I was facing.
Then I started thinking about the moderate success I was having in network marketing and ways I might not be acknowledging some flaws and challenges there.
I began realizing I had a deep fear of building a large team (fear of success - ay ay ay), and that was affecting my potential to have massive success at building a network marketing business. I realized that instead of realizing I was afraid to team-build, I was actually blaming the product (I didn’t’ believe in it) or just telling myself that I was not cut out for team building .
What baloney, eh? lol
This type of reasoning gave me all the more reason to develop my web authoring/developing, SEO and blogging skills to start a Small Business Internet Marketing Consulting Business and focus just on that one income stream.
As I networked locally this week, I started hearing several times this week about "diversification" and investing. So, I realized that I had to put away the fear aside and also devote time to also work on my network marketing ventures as well as my consulting business.
It won’t be a small order, but at least I can find a happy medium with my passion for blogging and teaching others how to blog with my desire to grow my network marketing ventures too.
See, now that I acknowledged the challenge I was facing, I have come to a solution!
Thanks, Dr. Phil
I hoped you enjoyed this ah ha moment!
I appreciate you.

After 1 1/2 months of intense product creation, I’ve completed and launched my first information product (e-book) "Mindset Marketing : Learn to Finally Stop Self-Sabotaging Your Success and Gain Massive Momentum in Your Online Business" and released it on Friday, December 12, 2008. (Friday was my birthday and I totally celebrated)!
Not only is Mindset Marketing a huge accomplishment for me just because it is my first information product.
It’s so big because four short months ago I was a virtual unknown online, and I was stuck in "Internet information overload " land.
Today, I have attracted significant success online despite being :
I have - Since July of 2008:
In November I decided to share exactly HOW I was able to achieve these things, and a month later, here’s Mindset Marketing .
I’ve been blessed to have received raving reviews about Mindset Marketing from dozens of online entrepreneurs who have purchased advanced copies as well as from my affiliate partners.
One of my favorites comes from a new friend I was introduced to on Twitter , Jonathan Gillardi . Jonathan has been online for considerably longer than I have, and has this to say:
"I have been in and around this industry for a long while. And to read something this Dynamic and Full of Useful information , Yes I said Useful. It was a breath of fresh air.
Most of the so-called Internet Attraction Marketing material coming out these days is just recycled from one to the next.
I am pleased to say I read the material in one 2 hour sitting and actually put my life on hold until I finished it, that is how much I got out of it.
I always LOOK to find something to learn from all material. But with your Mindset Marketing e-book I learned many many things, and I didn’t have to LOOK.
I can’t wait to be able to read the other multitude of testimonies you will be receiving and how your E-book has helped others in their business and lives.
If someone does not purchase your Mindset Marketing e-book, in my opinion they might as well never look at ever doing any business on the Internet period.
Jonathan’s words speaks volumes about the quality of the information here . I poured my heart and soul into Mindset Marketing (very much like I do here on the blog - multiplied by a thousand).
Mindset Marketing particularly dispels 6 myths to online business success, and also addresses the importance of redefining success, discovering your passions and strengths, and taking massive action.
The 6 myths are really faulty beliefs we hold on to as a result of being accustomed to thinking like an employee instead of an entrepreneur . Having any one trace of these 6 erroneous mindset/beliefs equals the recipe for online marketing self-sabotage.
So this means, you can purchase all the online marketing information you can get your hands on, but if your mind is not operating and thinking like an online entrepreneur, you’ll run into serious problems. This is not to say you don’t need any marketing savvy. Quite the contraire, my friends.
Mindset Marketing is a mix of super entrepreneurial mindset plus innovative marketing strategy that will allow ANY online entrepreneur to gain massive momentum in his or her own online business(es).
