So I want to start off by saying that for the majority of the time, I have faith that I will become successful and reach my goals.

However, there are inevitable times f

Most people are afraid of failure
as well as being afraid of success.
You have to just do it!

Haha thats true, being afraid of success.

The idea of posting content and then getting actual followers, people who will then be reading your content as soon as you send it, is definitely a scary thought.

But like you said, just do it! The fear is temporary. :)

Your inquiry represents a concern and fear that many have encountered. Working like mad is what helps me. If I work until I run out of energy, then I know that I have done my best. Once I've regained my energy (after sleeping, etc.), I work with all my strength until I again run out of energy. Doing this validates my efforts and assures me that I am doing all that I can. This validation significantly reduces and often eliminates my fear of competition and my fear of failure. :)
Perhaps, that sounds like an oversimplification. However, that has been my experience. :)
All the best to you!

No it doesn't sound like an oversimplification at all. Like you said, it's a validation technique that works for you!

This whole internet marketing environment is managed by mind games. By using Wealthy Affiliate, becoming successful is easy!

Complete one step, then the next...simple. And it's not like a conventional business where you invest huge amounts of money even before the doors open, not to mention the massive amount it takes just to keep it running afterwards. Now that would be stressful!

All of us are sitting here paying a measly $49 a month with the potential to create complete control and freedom over our lives!

But why haven't we all reached our goal? We need to control our minds and gear them towards success. Find ways to build a strong faith and knowing that we will come out on top day after day.

You understand yourself and what it takes for you! Good luck with everything! I know you will be a success!

I see competition only in sports, however, competition, in my niche/ online business, is not a threatening thing,
It actually does give me ideas what "my" competition doesn't do or talk about, to delve in and put my own brand on it.
Being concerned sometimes (not fearful so much) is not a bad thing because it will keep you on your toes to work harder and to reach your goals.
Just hang in there.

I think that is the exact mentality a marketer has to have. To inspect how successful players are writing and the actions they are taking and to pick apart what you agree with and what you think should be added on to.

Maybe not to compare yourself too much with an authority figure as well because it is overwhelming.

I like to think of how the top marketers started off. With a website that contains a handful of pages like me! Haha.

Competition is good - it means that lots of people are ready and willing to spend money on that niche. Always be yourself as no-one else will create content the same as you - allow your personality to shine through and forget about the competition. The only person you should be in competition with is yourself, in the attempt to be better tomorrow than you were today :)

Thats a very good way to think. :) I do feel grateful to be involved with internet marketing in a time where organic growth is becoming the way to build a business.

Like you said this means that a persons personality really can shine through and be brought to the attention of other like-minded individuals.

No problem :)

I never think about competition, they do not exist for me.

Haha I like that. 100% confidence.

I have also been told that you shouldn't even think of marketers involved in the same niche as competition. You should think of them as potential business partners.

So I try to remember that as long as I produce great, honest content, I will be recognized eventually and opportunities will present themselves to me.

I do not know if this is confidence, have never thought about it that way. But I am saying how I feel. I do what I think is good, do not think about what others do.

Well, confidence or not, I like your thought process.

Living life by what you think is good and not living it by what others do is advice more people should take to heart.

Chose good niche, follow the training, put hard work into your business. :)
Believe in yourself !
Find your why first before you get to how.

You can always read my blog number one, always evaluating content if you start lacking enthusiasm and need guidance.

Good luck :)

"Believe in yourself" I like that!

It seems to be true that anything can be accomplished no matter how impossible it may seem if you just keep that mindset strong.

Also thank you for mentioning to find the why first. It is a reason I need to remind myself of continuously. One that will help to keep me going!

Thank you!

Thats it, first comes why , remember that you need to have strong why and keep believing in it. :)

How do I get over the fear of being squashed by competition?
