Today, I'm going to share some MILLION DOLLAR advice with you, and you're getting it for FREE. Consider yourself lucky.

After being a successful entrepreneur for nearly 17-years now, and achieving success in MANY different industries, this is what I have seen.

1. Most bloggers quit in 90 days or less

2. Most affiliate marketers quit in 90 days or less.

3. Most network marketers quit in 90 days or less.

4. Most realtors and salespeople never make ONE sale, and quit within 1 year.

5. Most traditional businesses fail in a year or less.

6. Most businesses that DO succeed take YEARS to get there.

What have I learned from this? Why do some people succeed in a grand way, yet others fail miserably in everything they do? Here's my thoughts.

To succeed in anything, you need to make a MINIMUM five to ten YEAR commitment to it. Pick one business and FOCUS. Do not keep trying something new every 90-days. Commitment and focus are vital. Nothing worth accomplishing is fast, free or easy.

Building a successful business of any kind takes skills, time, money and hard work. The goal your first year in ANY business is to learn and survive, not make money. Most businesses take one to three years to make a profit, and five to ten years to become stable and successful. There are some exceptions to this rule, but not many.

The beauty of online marketing is that you can be profitable beginning your first month, just don't expect it.

Thinking you can start a business and make lots of money in 90 days or less is pretty absurd, especially if you do not have the SKILLS or experience. And if you're working the business PART-TIME, it's going to take even longer to succeed.

Should this scare you? Heck no. You are building an ASSET. You are NOT an employee trading hours for dollars. You are creating something that will pay you, even when you stop working (eventually). You are creating an asset you can sell one day for a BIG profit. A business is nothing like a job.

You have to learn and master the SKILLS of your trade. That takes time. Be patient. Have a vision. Stay consistent. Have some faith. Stay the course. Give yourself a fair chance to succeed.

Do your business as a SIDE HUSTLE. Keep your day job to keep your bills paid and keep your spouse happy. When your business income replaces your job income, then you can make the choice.

Have REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS. Make sure your goals and ACTIVITY are in alignment with each other. And follow the success formula I share with my own network marketing team.

Success = SKILLS + ACTIVITY + DONE CONSISTENTLY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME

I hope that helps. What are your thoughts?
