Dreams of an Affiliate Marketer

When I used to play chess a lot, I often had some chess-related dreams at night.

And after talking about this with several other chess players on tournament trips, basically all of them had also similar chess dreams.

To be more accurate...

They were usually chess nightmares.

When I discussed with other chess players it seems that everyone had sometimes this kind of dream:

You're playing in a tournament and the game starts.

You play for a while...

Then it's your opponent's time to move...

You decided to take a walk around the playing hall and perhaps visit the toilet...

Once you come back, your opponent has moved the pieces to different locations than they were before! Perhaps he has taken away some of your pieces or made a few moves on your behalf.

Well, in real life this wouldn't be a problem because in a tournament game you have to write every move down on a paper and cheating like this isn't possible even in theory.

But now the opponent has also changed what you had written down!

You go to complain to the arbiter that your opponent is cheating...

But the arbiter is on your opponent's side and says that the pieces are in their correct locations.

Now you are in a losing position and you can't do anything about it! Just because your opponent is cheating.

It's funny that every chess player that I remember talking to about chess dreams had similar kind of dream sometimes! :D

Affiliate Marketing Dreams

Numerous times I have been dreaming during the night I've logged in and stared at the screen at the record numbers of sales.

I was super excited! Woohoo!

I reached the next level!

But then I've woken up and there are the "same old numbers".

It was just a dream...
Have YOU also had some "affiliate marketing dreams"? Tell me in the comments! ;)

Several times I also remember dreams where we've been in the WA Las Vegas conference.


I guess at least 5-10 times... :D

"What You Focus on Is What You Get"

Have you ever heard of the wisdom, "What You Focus on Is What You Get"?

Or some teachers say it in the other words, "You become what you think about all day long."

That seems to be true...

If you think about chess, even your dreams will be filled with chess.

If you think about affiliate marketing, you'll see dreams of affiliate marketing.

I guess everyone has had dreams of a person that they've been in love with.

Those are just 3 examples and I could continue the list on and on...

How Can You Apply This Knowledge?

If you want to succeed, you should think about success.

If you want to fail, you should think about failing.

Let me give you 2-3 practical examples:

1. A person who thinks about failing

He starts his online business thinking thoughts such as,

"I am too old (or young)."

"I am not tech-savvy."

"What if this doesn't work for me?"

"Can I ever learn these things?"

"Others are smarter than me."

What happens when this person faces some setbacks?

He'll tell himself things like, "I told you! I'm too old. I can't learn these things! And I don't have any technical knowledge and I will not learn because I'm not as smart as others. The best option for me is to quit."

2. A person who thinks about success

When this person starts his online he's thinking thoughts such as,

"I will become successful."

"If others have learned these things, I will learn them too."

"I am smart and fast-learner."

"I have overcome any obstacles so far in life and I will overcome anything that comes my way."

"I ask help from other people if I need it."

What's going to happen when this person faces some obstacles?

He's going to think, "Everyone faces some challenges. Everyone gets their part. I simply need to learn what can I do better and move forward."

Then he learns and moves forward constantly. Eventually, he succeeds.

What Do YOU Think About All Day Long?

I'd like to challenge you a little bit...

Are you focusing on getting to the next level?

Are you thinking about things that you can be thankful for?

Are you expecting success?

Are you moving forward every day?

Here's my advice...

Set aside every thought of disbelief and replace them with thoughts of belief.

Tell yourself that you can and you are capable of doing things.

Then prove it to yourself by taking action.

When you think about success, take action towards success and achieve success, that process will feed itself. => Your beliefs will get stronger, your actions will become consistent because you see it works and you'll achieve more.

It's Your Time!

Thanks for your time for sharing this, Roope! Awesome, boosting post 💯
You are right: focusing is so important even in our minds. Everything starts there, like you shared.

I have seen many times dreams about what I have been thinking 😁 We process our thoughts in dreams, that's right 👌 Maybe in the future about online business too 😴🔝

Great pictures of you in chess tournaments 👏

Great success to you 👍

This is an encouraging post as well kind of amusing! ;-)

Surprisingly, I also tend to dream about the things that are happening in my life, especially the intensive stuff.
It doesn't have to be negative. For example, it could about a movie I watch that day/evening, or something I read.

The other day I was reading something about the Royal family on my phone and I saw a dream that I'm with Kate Middleton and her kids in the park! lol.

The other day, me and my mum were talking about my paternal grandparents who both have passed away within six years of each other. (grandad in Oct 2013 and grandma January 2020) and I couldn't travel to be part of their funeral. I was very close to both of them even as a child. :-(

Anyway, I saw both of them in my dream that night, they are on a train the one I'm trying to catch and they are calling me to be quicker. I felt a sense of closeness but sad at the same time.

The reason for sharing these experiences are that, it is true, you get what you focus on.

Keep going everyone. Success is not too far away now.

Best wishes

Having successful thoughts and reaffirming our goals and the manner we are going to achieve them is like programming the mind. Napoleon Hill taught that we need to do this at least twice a day.

Affiliate Marketing is on my mind all the time. I think and then I take action.

I love it Roope!

For sure! I have had some real wonderful affiliate dreams that was so real that when I woke up I thought it was true. Lol. I once dreamt I got a commission on $100.000. So you can see I was a bit disappointed when I woke up and found out it was just a dream. And I have had affiliate nightmares as well.

Good morning Roope,

Thank you for your excellent blog post.

I'm not sure if I have had affiliate dreams, however, I definitely think about taking my online business to the next level when I am working my off-line business! I'm often working on autopilot with my off-line business so it gives me plenty of time to think about blog titles, subjects to write about, etc.

I also listen to a lot of audiobooks and YouTube videos, including your YouTube videos Roope! This helps me to grow my knowledge and encourage me to move forward and go to the next steps.

Have a great day Roope.

Roy

PS: It is great to see your YouTube channel growing rapidly Roope, huge congratulations to you.
