The Magic Happens Now: Plan The Work, Work The Plan
I have been really quiet I know. You see the thing is, it is very easy to do a lot of nothing, you know, hiding inactivity behind productivity. This is something I am intermittently guilty of daily.
The question in your mind might be, why is he posting this? I'll tell you, as I believe this will help you, if you approach this with an open mind. I calculated that over the last 2 weeks, I had 140 hours to use towards becoming successful, I only used 40 of those hours to do anything productive, and this is including what I do while I travel. I messed around staring in to space, looking at status updates on Facebook etc.
The purpose of this is to show anybody that does not believe Affiliate Marketing, Multi Level Marketing or anything in-between, they all actually work. Somebody I consider a mentor and good friend by the name Holton Buggs, who I work with at Organo Gold, changing lives daily for the better puts it like this, "Plan the work, work the plan".
My work has been lacking a plan, which would then have a measurable schedule. I am now working on this, and you should if you haven't already.
It really is that simple. You are most likely here at the Wealthy Affiliate site because you want to become successful at Internet Marketing, so you you must start building a plan, encompassing what you are learning, adding this to your plan as you go along, map this out in your plan around the niche or activity you decide to focus on to make your money. This will remind you of what you aim to accomplish, and what steps to take to accomplish your aim. Motivation only lasts so long on its own.
The plan also allows you to pinpoint what is and isn't working in your activities, as well as how active you need to be to see the results.
99% of people will not make the effort to plan, skipping this in favor of the parts that interest them. However, to be successful in anything you must make it your habit of doing the things that constantly challenge you, helping you build the mental muscle needed. This will lead you to have the time for yourself. The less work you do now, the more work you will do in the future.
Work your weakness or work your retirement, your choice. I want you to do well, that's why I wrote this. Ultimately you can only help yourself. Let this be the nudge in the right direction.
Keep going, and snatch the life that you want. If you don't snatch it somebody else will. Be the person that achieves what you are currently trying to achieve, and believe it whole heartedly. Post your life everywhere in your home, and at work, imagine it vividly, discuss it, be around it.
I'm out. With Love of course

Hi Alexander, most of the time we sabotage ourself, in fear of failing but also in fear of getting successful. We should work on the "believe in yourself"part
Hey Loes, I really do hope you are well. Can I ask if there was anything that you took from this post that you would share?
This sentence made me think:
However, to be successful in anything you must make it your habit of doing the things that constantly challenge you, helping you build the mental muscle needed.
When we want to be succesful, we have to change our thinking, If our thoughts would be right, we would have been successful allready.
So challenge your own thoughts to another way of thinking
Those statements were inspired by my life experiences, and listening to inspirational individuals like Holton Buggs, Eric Thomas, Athony Robbins, Jim Rohn, and Zig Ziglar

This is a wonderful post Alexander! Very inspiring!
Thank you Christabelle. Im glad you valued it. If you could take one thing away from this post what would it be?
Good question! Sometimes I get so caught up in the doing that I have to remind myself to take time to see the victory, which you address in your last sentence. That is the sentence that jumped out at me as I got a gentle nudge! :)
