What's Keeping Your Online Business From Succeeding Massively?

Spend any time really comparing ultra-successful people with those who aren't but would like to be, and eventually the difference really jumps out at you. I readily see this in MOST of the people I deal with who are trying to build online businesses. So, let's honestly examine what's probably holding you back.

What keeps most people from succeeding massively in accomplishing something outstanding? What really keeping you from succeeding in your online business?  In a word, it's "fear."

I know... you're a "grown up" who's learned that most things aren't worth fearing. So, you're uncomfortable with even admitting the possibility that you're fearful. I'll let you in on a little secret... most people feel the same way.

Let me let you in on a second secret... the way to get over your fears is simply to face them.  Face them and do the thing that you are fearful of the most. Do it a number of times, and the fear magically disappears.

Let's look at an example. According to many studies, the single biggest fear most people have is pubic speaking. It likely springs from the fact that while you're up in front of a group, others could be evaluating you.

I personally give numerous stage presentations a year, and conduct countless recorded telephone training calls, tele-classes, and brainstorming sessions. I'm no different than those who are afraid of being at the front of the room - except that after you do it a couple hundred times, the nervousness does go away.

When I was in the U.S. Air Force, I often had to get in front of groups of dozens, sometimes hundred of people and explain a plan or an idea that I had generated.  Fortunately, I wasn't given a choice! After doing this a hundred times in front of everyone from my subordinates, to my peers, to 4-star generals, I grew extremely comfortable doing it. My secret was simply facing my fears.

The key for you is to simply DO the thing that you fear the most... provided it's not something really dangerous :-)

Let's examine several common fears that you probably have and how to overcome them.

Fear of failure is the one that stops many people from even trying to accomplish anything "major."  This fear so paralyzes them that they WON'T even try.

One key to overcoming the fear of failure is stacking the odds in your favor.  Jeff Walker teaches this in his recently released  course, "Product Launch Formula." He teaches that since you only have time to do a few of the projectS you probably have ideas for, you do the ones with the greatest
chances of success.  You line all aspects of the project up beforehand, and then executing the project is just like shooting fish in a barrell. You make it very unlikely that you will fail.

If you want to see how Jeff does this, pulling off numerous projects that earn six or even seven-figures in a matter of days... sometimes hours, you need to grab his course at: http://P-L-Formula.com

You also need to realize that failure is still possible - but if you've flowed out a plan, it's now less likely. Yes, there is still some risk.  Realize that nothing EXTRAORDINARY was ever accomplished without someone taking some risk.

A second BIG fear many people suffer from is fear of ridicule.  I could tell you not to take yourself too seriously, or to ignore the opinions of others.  Better advice for you might be, don't tell those who might put a damper on your ideas what you plan on doing.

Also don't listen to those who've never accomplished anything great.  You don't want to listen to those who've already convinced themselves that they could never do something great. When they tell you that THEY  could never do what you're thinking of doing, they're absolutely right. They could never do it because they're too afraid to even try. They're unwilling to step outside their comfort zone. You have to be willing!

Seek the council or advice of those who have done something similar to what you want to do. They offer unique insights and can show you where the pitfalls are.  Be  prepared to compensate them for their most valuable resource... their time. Acknowledge the mistakes that their shared experience can keep you from making.

We all want the approval and admiration of other!  That's why fear of ridicule is so powerful. Consider this though... Often the ONLY cost of failure, or being wrong, is MAYBE having to admit it to someone else. You'd be surprised at how few people are actually watching everything that you do 24/7.  We're all too busy focusing on our own little worlds.  So, often you won't even have to admit your mistakes, or the fact that you were wrong, to anyone.

A final fear to address is fear of wasting your time. often, you won't allow yourself to get stared on a project because you may discover six months from now that it's not going to be as successful as you had hoped. Yes, this does happen! That's why you only do the projects that have the highest probability of succeeding and offer the highest ROI.

Closely related to the fear of wasting time, is idea and information overload.  You're afraid that if you focus on one project, you'll miss doing another more appropriate and more profitable project. You allow that thought process to SO paralyze you that you just don't get started on anything.

Here's how I handle that "stumbling block"... I simply write down all ideas that I come up with, but I don't generally allow myself to start on a new project until I've finished the ones I've already committed to. The exception to that rule is that I do often buy domain names that are ideal for a new project right away. I don't risk having them snatched up.  Buying the domain name also commits me to actually doing something with the idea later.

Many years ago, I heard Earle Nightingale, on a cassette tape that I have long since forgotten the title of, explain that "Ideas are like slippery fish, and if you don't jot them down they often get away forever." Earle's tape, taught me to  keep a pad near my bed so that even when an idea pops into my head in the middle of the night, I can jot it down, and then not worry about losing it.  That's a great habit to develop. I've taken it one step further and now often keep a portable MP3 player/recorder with me while I'm driving, etc. When an idea pops into my head, I just record it, and then I'm able to refocus on what I was previously thinking about or doing.

Ok, we've just covered what's holding many *potentially* very successful people back. We've concluded that the way to overcome it is to first of all admit that it's a problem, and then boldly face your fears.  Finally we've examined how to handle simply having too many choices or ideas, so that you can focus on one and get it completed. String together a series of carefully selected, completed projects and you can't help but be a big success.

Forget About "Talent"!
By Steven Barnes

How is a writer to access her deepest and most powerful wells of creativity? How do we tap into our talent, our genius, our greatest potential for success? Writing classes often tell us how to plot, or structure, or build characters, or create poetic images, but the question of accessing our excellence is a slippery and elusive one. It is possible we'll need to go outside our usual sources to find an answer.
 
Many will merely say "be born with talent," coldly suggesting that writers are "born" with a particular amount of potential, and that one either has this or not. And you know? There is a certain amount of truth to this. It is hard to argue with the idea that geniuses like Mozart or Shakespeare were gifted. But the nature versus nurture argument is both fascinating and, for the average person, irrelevant. After all, since we can't go back and choose our grandparents, what are we to do? Just abandon our dreams of excellence if we don't happen to be one of the gifted few?
 
I often say something to students that is both deadly serious and a slight (and deliberate) exaggeration. It is this "I don't believe in talent. Every time I've ever gotten close to an excellent performer in any discipline, all I've seen is a lifetime of hard, honest work."
 
Why would I say something like this? Because it is the way I truly feel. The fact is that I've seen endless people fail due to lack of honest work. And given those years or decades of work, I've seen few fail for lack of talent.
 
The truth is that if "talent" exists, it seems to be the capacity for long, concentrated periods of tunnel-vision focus, combined with a unique capacity for digging into themselves to find truths most of us are reluctant to reveal. These phenomenal men and women sacrifice outside interests, relationships, and sometimes their health and sanity to focus
on their divine obsession. And yes, if you find a group of these people, some will rise higher than others. But the primary gift of art is to be able to spend your life in the act of creation. And to do that, you don't need to be ?the best? (whatever THAT means). All you need to do is to get into the top twenty percent in your field, and you'll do just fine.
 
And that is achievable with focus and honesty. But what exactly do I mean by that? 
 
FOCUS 
 
1) Can you write 500 words a day for twenty years? 
 
2) Can you concentrate for an hour at a time without stopping for coffee, phone calls, or bathroom breaks? 
 
3) Can you shut out the voices of doubt and failure? Then you have a chance. In my own life, writing was simply my only career goal. I would rather have failed as a writer than succeeded at anything else. I was willing to do ANYTHING ethical and healthy to reach that goal, and every single day I asked myself new questions about how I could do it, who I could ask, what I could read, what classes I might attend. Willingness to postpone gratification is essential, because your efforts simply won't pay off rapidly unless you are in that incredibly lucky fraction of a percent. And there is good news: even if you believe in "talent," in the real world, an absolutely driven "B" or "C" student will outperform a lazy "A" student almost every time.
 
HONESTY. This is where the rubber meets the road, the diamond path to excellence.
 
1) What is your actual current skill level? What is the skill level necessary to make it in your chosen field? Make no mistake: writing is one of the most competitive fields in the world. EVERYONE thinks they can write, and to a degree, they are correct. If you're going to make your mark, you will have to bring everything you've got.
 
2) Who has the resources you need to bridge the gap between your current and desired skill levels? Remember that they have probably spent a lifetime gathering their knowledge. What can you offer them (that is ethical and healthy for you) to gain their help and support?
 
3) What do you fear most? Love most? What angers you most? Makes you laugh? Your ability to create memorable characters will be based on the depths of your self-understanding, and capacity to accurately observe the human condition. If you can dig deeply enough, you'll find an incredible wealth of subject matter, more than enough to last a lifetime. But you must be honest. When writing to stimulate an emotion in your audience, first write to trigger that feeling in yourself. Write for yourself, or for an audience you respect.
 
4) What is your best effort? There is a great scene in "Walk The Line" where a music producer tells Johnny Cash to imagine he is dying in the street. He has one last song to sing to sum up the totality of his existence. What would that song be? Questions like this cut through the b.s. Don't try to be clever. Just tell the truth.
 
5) What do you actually believe human beings are? At the core of us, under all of the ugly and pretty. What are we? How do you explain the differences and conflicts between human beings: black and white, gay and straight, male and female. What do you think love is? What causes war? Why do we dream? Your own unique answers to these questions will point you toward your personal "voice."
 
6) What is the nature of the universe? Of God? Is there anything out there? Are we alone? While it is possible to write stories and screenplays from a variety of philosophical positions, the writer who knows herself and has a position on the nature of life will outperform a ?brilliant? writer who has nothing to say. Dig deep.
 
These two aspects, (1) hard work, and (2) honesty, will keep you busy for a lifetime, and take you to the very edge of your potential as a writer. And after all, if you haven't used up all the potential you were given at birth, it hardly makes sense to complain that you didn't get more!
