When Will You Be An Affiliate Marketing Rock Star?
Affiliate marketing can make you insanely wealthy, but you've gotta be in it to win it.
And by wealthy, I'm making a distinction from being rich. Rich people can count their money and state exactly how much they're worth. Wealthy people usually have no idea how much they have because their money grows every day, so they wouldn't be able to tell you.
What's so amazing about this game is that literally anyone can become a rock star, but it's important that you set NTE (Not To Exceed) dates and then bust your ass to hit each deadline. If that means sleepless nights, so be it. If that means taking time off of work, do it to it baby. I've stayed up for 50+ hours at a time to make sure my business is functioning just right and I'm doing as much as I can to reach my goals.
But What If I Fail?
Try harder. You've heard it a million times.
Thomas Edison, world famous inventor, said, "Many of life's failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Solution? Never give up. If you know something is attainable, worthwhile and can make your dreams a reality, you should be a juggernaut until you're there.
Lately, I've been setting small goals like these as a build-up practice for disciplining myself to complete these goals. You've probably noticed more and more goals I'm putting up on the blog and that's for a specific reason. For one, it gives me some accountability to you and two, I see it every day so I'm constantly reminded.
So do it, do it now and do it well.

Thanks for this post Scott! I just wrote on my blog about how I failed the second time around promoting the Chuck Mullaney Teaches Ebay offer and then I read this posts which acted as a great motivator! Now I’m refocused and ready to think of a new ways to archive my march goals.

Never give up may work for some things but may not work for everything. Like gambling, you should know when to quit on some things. Everyone is different and they should only try really hard on things they are truly passionate about =]

@Neil: Good work; stay motivated. :]
@Steven: That all depends on who you are and what you believe is “attainable, worthwhile and can make your dreams come true.”
