Really quick...

I just stopped myself. I was about to tell someone new on here "good luck". Good luck? Is this what Affiliate marketing is about? Luck?

I don't think so. Luck has an element of hope in it that I don't like. "Good luck" has a finality to it - like "you're on your own now". And hope - hope is not part of the equation to success! When have you ever relied on hope that your paycheck at your 9-5 job would magically double and it happened? Probably never.

I encourage you to find something else other than 'good luck' to say to others. Something that encourages action such as "Go get it." "Work hard and the results will come." "Give it time and you will see success.", "Make a commitment to yourself - you will reach your goals and you will do anything for it.", etc...
