Don't Quit 3 Feet From Gold!
You won't make your fortune sitting around waiting for shit to just happen. You have to take massive action today! When writing your articles for your site you have to know that most aren't going to drive the traffic you need to be successful online.
whatchu talkin bout willis......
That Damn Pareto Principle
If you are not familiar with the Pareto principle it states roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. So only 20% of your articles are going to drive 80% of the traffic. That's why at the beginning of your online business you need to have the personal will power to push through to the results you desire.
Because just like me, it will seem like you are writing and writing and writing, oh and writing and not seeing any results. The results will come you just have to have the tenacity to keep writing until you find success.
Do a quick Google search for Napoleon Hill’s Three Feet From Gold. It's what pushed me through the hards times. Read it first and them come back to this article.
I know its tough when your just starting your online business but just know that by quitting you could be stopping just 3 feet short from your vein of gold. I worked tirelessly for almost 9 months and I myself almost gave up more times then I can count. But this story kept playing in the back of my mind.
And I am lucky it did.
Because in month 10 I made my first commision sale and by month 19 I had replaced my entire 9 to 5 income, well more like 11 to 11 income, I worked second shift. It has now been almost two years since I have had a real job and I am so glad I didn't quit 3 feet from my vein of gold and I owe it all to Wealthy Affiliate.
So I will leave you with this...
The number one goal you should have each day is to simply take whatever action is necessary to get you towards your goal and never stop.

Mike,
Thanks for sharing - love the 3 feet from gold -
some days I think we all have the feeling of
defeat and would love to quit - but if we can all
take a lesson away from what you have just
given us - then none of should ever give up on
our online business just keep writing our posts
and one day that one post maybe number 999
will be the one.
Thank you so very much - very inspirational.

Ok thanks for the inspiration. I will keep going. I am finding it hard and I have only just started about two months ago. Wow it seems to take many months, it is like writing a book. I was going to do that a few years ago but never finished it. Willpower is needed certainly.
Oh, I hear you Julie! I've had writing a book on my agenda for decades. Hehe. And yes, it can take a while for your website to gain authority. Hang in there.
I wrote the book on paper years ago but took sick. I don't know where if is now. It is best to keep going if we don't die of frustration first.
That's kind of reminder we need to tell ourselves. Just do not quit. Don't give up! Thanks for the reminder Michael. And congratulation for making it happened for you.

YES!!! That's exactly the kind of story I love reading. I always wonder whether I'm just about to crest the hill... to reach that moment when all the hard work starts paying off.
Napoleon Hill was a man born before his time. Think and Grow Rich from 1937 is STILL as meaningful today as it was back then.
Hill has kept my head up when I should have given up too!

Quitters never win.
We need to remember why we started our online business in the first place.
Also, we need to give our businessrd as much time as us needed to be successful.
Stopping right before we reach the vein would be all for naught.
Have a blessed day.
Blessings always
