It’s Too Hard… I Can’t Do This!

Files under affiliate marketing | Posted by Clint Lenard

If you believe you cannot do it, you’re not going to be able to go it.

It was Henry Ford who said:

Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.

The quote is dead on.

We’ve learned as children that we could not do some things… we learned how hard it is to become something. We were constantly told, EVEN BY OUR OWN PARENTS AND TEACHERS, that we could not live up to our dreams.

But I’m here to tell you that they were 100%, absolutely wrong. Whoever it was that told you that you couldn’t do something – they only told you this because they were told the same thing. It’s a vicious circle.

Now, logically, I could tell you that YOU CAN’T MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS IN A MONTH!

But am I absolutely correct? No… not at all. A LOT of people have done it. Even in this Business. I just read a story about someone who made Hundreds of Thousands of dollars using ONE Keyword and ONE product…

Do you think he talked himself into believing he could do it? Yes, obviously he did.

Affiliate Marketing is NOT hard. It’s not impossible to make money, even in the most saturated markets. Does this mean that you will become successful JUST because you tell yourself that you can? No…

It means that you have to believe in everything you’re doing and you have to act upon your every thought. You can have everything you want in life and Affiliate Marketing is no different.

Do you want it?

Then stop saying you can’t do it…

I’ve watched a guy on Wealthy Affiliate say he couldn’t, even while guys like Travis Sago, Dave B. and Thad were pushing him… but he still hasn’t made a dime through all of this. Why? Because, even with all of the STRAIGHT FORWARD information and advice he was given – he still did not take action right away and he was still talking about every reason why he could not do it.

Yet, there’s so many people that go around saying they CAN do it… guess where they are? They’re in the Success forum talking about how they DID do it.

Think about it…

Believe it or not – what you think about is what you become. Can’t do it? Cool… now you can’t. Can’t be that person? Yep, you’re right…

I wonder how many successful people told themselves that they COULDN’T do it, and STILL made it big? I’m guessing 0%.

W. Clement Stone said:

Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying.

And:

Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.

He also said:

If you are really thankful, what do you do? You share.

Which is why I don’t mind sharing everything I can with my readers of this blog.

But the most popular W. Clement Stone quote that you should really believe in and take to heart is:

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

If you want to become successful, yet you feel that you’ve never reached that milestone in life, you need to throw all of that negativity that you’ve brought to the table. There’s too many people who WILL become successful and who WILL be what they want to be… all because of others who believe they cannot do it. People who have talked themselves out of it before they were given the chance.

Every single person on earth has the potential to become a Millionaire within the Affiliate Marketing community, but it’s a shame that there’s not even a small percentage of people who believe in themselves. Maybe it’s just not for them? Maybe they simply believe Affiliate Marketing is a scam?

That’s fine… but since you know it’s possible and you know it’s NOT a scam — then put on your positive thinking cap and push forward. If your first campaign fails, GREAT! You’ve just LEARNED WHY your campaign (not you) has failed the first (or even the 1,000th) time.

Keep climbing and you’ll reach the top. I can promise you that you will with persistence and consistence.

But once you stop saying “you can” and fall into the “I can’t” trap – you might as well pack up and head back down the mountain because it REALLY IS all down hill from there…

    Good post.

    I am enjoying reading your blog.

    I have made ALL my money so far from Adsense – but am starting to look into affiliate stuff (Google seem to be stiffing me big time of late)….

    I found your link to the hpam2007.pdf particularly useful..

    Thanks.

    Hey Jordan,

    Great! Thank you for the comment!

    I’ve learned over the years that when they say “don’t put all of your eggs in one basket”, they were talking about relying on Google! ha!

    I feel that too many people will find out, sooner or later, that relying on AdSense is not just losing extra money, but can possibly take away A TON of their income once someone at Google decides to suspend your account. Careful with that and good luck with your Affiliate Marketing Career! =)

    Man on man, did you hit that nail on the head Clint. As far as I’m concerned practically anybody can learn to be successful at affiliate marketing, or with their own products etc. Then of course, building your own army of affiliates!

    Anyway, I agree, people need more help with their thought process, as compared to the actual skills needed to get the job done. Those come with time. “Work on the mind!”
