Here’s part of the editorial from today’s issue of
my ezine…
Let me start out by asking you a personal question today…
“Are You Happy Doing What YOu’re Doing?”
A client from the UK recently asked me that question, and
upon reflection, I realized that I AM. You see, I truely do
live “The Internet Marketing Lifestyle.”
I can get up any time that I want, grab my laptop and my Verizon
Wireless card, and go practically anywhere and run my business.
Many days, I go sit by the beautiful beach near where I live,
watching the wave, and children playing in the surf, and I work
on websites and answer email from there. If it’s HOT I can sit
at a picnic table at one of numerous beachside pavillions, and
work for hours. The local park services are even kind enough to
provide numerous electrical outlets at the beachside pavillions,
so I don’t even have to worry about my laptops’ battery running
down.
Aside from working when and where I want to, I also ONLY do the
work that I truely enjoy. That work happens to be helping people
who want financial freedom, and to work from home, to realize
their dream. I do that by sharing with them what I’ve learned
over the past 11 years online (and that I continue to learn
everyday).
I’ve discovered my true purpose in life. It may sound hokey,
but I honestly believe that God wants me to be of service to
my fellow man. I honestly believe that I was taught through
study, mentoring, and the school of hard knocks, what actually
works in building and running an online business so that I can
pass it along to others.
… But back to that question, “Are You Happy Doing What You’re
Doing?” Today, I’d like to for you to reflect upon that
question a lot. If you’re not happy, then I’d like for you to
examine why. It’s likely because you’re doing the wrong thing…
in the wrong niche… selling the wrong product or service…
something is out of balance. Maybe it’s that you don’t REALLY
believe in the product or service that you’re marketing. You can
never be really happy if that’s the case.
I ask you to reflect upon that question today, because you do
deserve both success and happiness. You’ll only find them
though if you’re honest with yourself in examining what will
really make you happy, and why you’re not currently truely happy
(if that’s the case).
Another observation is that internet marketers who do things
that they are not truly happy doing often experience MAJOR
burnout! Most of the fairly successful marketers that I’ve
known, who quietly faded from the scene, did so because of
just that problem!
Ok, enough psychobabble
