Your past has a huge impact on your future. There aren’t too many of us who can say we had the perfect childhood, perfect friends and live the perfect life. Sometimes we can’t forget the traumas we’ve been subject to and are stuck in the past, fearful of venturing into new places that may contain the answers for success that we’ve been searching for.

What expectations do you have for yourself?

Do you expect, wish, or hope for your success?

I expect it.

I know I’m capable of doing it, so there’s no wishing or hoping or daydreaming or envy that someone else has it better than I do at the moment.

I always preach about being bold enough and not intimidated enough to become an Internet marketer. Well I just realized I’ve been a big, fat hypocrite. I practiced what I preached when it came to making the leap from ghostwriter to marketer – and that alone is hard for many to accomplish.

But after talking with my friend and mentor Craig Desorcy today, I realized I’ve been hiding behind my computer screen taking the easy (and less profitable) approach for far too long now.

You see, I like easy. Writing and publishing an eBook is easy. There’s no discomfort involved. Participating in telephone interviews or attending seminars is not comfortable to me. I’m a bona fide hermit

But in order to take it to the next level, I’m gonna have to get out of my comfort zone. There are things I want to teach you that will require more in-depth support. That makes me uncomfortable. I know how many emails I get right now with static topics like Squidoo, or writing an eBook – what’s gonna happen when I delve into more complex product topics?

I pride myself on being accessible. I’m the girl who always emails you back same day (or damn near close to it). But once I do this – once I buckle up and go pedal to the metal, I’m going to need to build a bigger team. A support desk. Someone to handle download glitches for instance.

I flat out told Craig I was scared. Putting yourself out there and climbing a higher rung on the career ladder when you’re deathly afraid of heights may not be the smartest thing to do, but it’s what you HAVE to do if you want to see the spectacular view.

And that’s where I’m at right now. I see the brass ring dangling in the air and I’m about to leap for it. I may stumble along the way, but hopefully I won’t suffer any permanent injuries to my ego (lol). We all have to get out of our comfort zone if we want to truly succeed at the level we’re capable of.

I am forcing myself to go there – into the unknown for me. I’ll either be really happy with the results or I’ll get frustrated, but you never know until you try and I’m not gonna sit here on the sidelines anymore knowing what I should be doing, but being too afraid to take action.

Watch out world, here I come!

Groan! I screwed up big time. I bought a product and was so excited about what it was about that I started working immediately – after only reading through the introductory PDF and watching the first video (out of many).

So where did this enthusiasm land me?

In the land of wasted time. I realized when I finally sat down to watch more that I didn’t know what I was doing – I hadn’t bothered to learn the step by step – just the overall broad idea – and everything I did was wrong.

Many people suffer from a lack of action taking. Not me! I’m in all directions, doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that. That’s just as bad, trust me. I still got nowhere.

Lesson to learn:

When you buy a product, take time to thoroughly go through it. Don’t be a smarty pants like me and think you’ll know what you’re doing – you bought it for a reason! Someone else was doing something better than you do it. Learn from them.
