Here's a horrifying yet true statistic : 95% of people who start a business will fail.
So 95 out of every 100 people who sign up here will not make any money at all, or even enough money to make it worthwhile continuing.
Wow. That's a huge failure rate. I might just as well give up now, right?
WRONG!

The reason why 95% fail is because they give up too easily. When it gets hard to commit to action day after day, when we don't get results as fast as we would like, we walk away to find a "better" way of earning unlimited income in a short amount of time. We put Wealthy Affilaite in our growing "does not work" pile.
Our "does work" pile remains empty. And there's a reason for that.
The only way to succeed in this or in any other endeavour in life is to dig in; to refuse to give up when it gets hard; to keep asking questions; and to keep on keeping on.
Setting up a business, online or offline, is hard. You often see a shop opening in your local High Street, or discover a new website, and it seems to be an overnight success. What you don't see is the months and years of hard work that occurred before the shop or site opened. The planning, the money and time invested - it's all behind the scenes, and you don't realise what's gone into making that business an "overnight success".
So, make the choice now. Do you want to be part of the 5% that succeeds? If the answer is yes, then get ready to work hard, incredibly hard, for the coming months and years.
Get ready for obstacles and disappointments, and be prepared to learn from them and move on.
Get ready for life to get in the way, for you to have to stop and start, stop and start, stop and start, and fight against all the odds.
If you want success to come easy, chances are you won't succeed. I'm sorry to tell you this, but if you really, really want to be be a successful internet marketer, you need to commit now to doing WHATEVER IT TAKES.
I will do WHATEVER IT TAKES. Will you join me?
