Good advice. Glad I found this post. In fact, I typed ‘took 3 years to make it online’ into google search to find it. Like you I am making decent money online, a lot better than last year, but I wouldn’t say I’m a success yet. I see what you are saying with confidence though and plan to really reflect on myself and my confidence level.

Josh, you are very right. I think they are very knowledgeable marketers out there that aren’t making their full potential online. in any case, it really comes down to confidence and pulling the trigger the first time building on that success.

Every little “victory” does a lot to boost confidence. Each time I see my article or a blog post landing on page 1, I gain more confidence knowing that the lessons I learned from those who have unselfishly shared what they know is guiding me on the right track. You gain confidence to move forward when you know you are not groping around blindly.

Yes, confidence is vital. It seems to apply right across the board, in any field. Time and again I’ve seen people succeed much quicker than others because they had strong confidence.

I think it does two things: One, if you have confidence you’re much more likely to act; to “take the plunge”. So if your approach is right, you’ll see benefits quicker. And that gives you even more confidence!

Also, having confidence means other people will believe in you, and are more likely to cooperate with you, which means you can more easily make your ideas come to fruition.

Josh,

That’s great to hear, I think we hear too many of the “how quickly I made money” stories, that reality is a hard row to hoe. But I’ve many stories of success in the internet marketing field taking several years for real success, which motivates me even more, believe it or not!

Thank you for the bucket load of encouragement. I agree that confidence has wonderful powers.

As a tailor, I used to get my work nit-picked by one men’s store owner until I learned to take a deep breath when I grasped his doorknob, then walk into his store like a tigress.

Imagine my astonishment and relief when instead of picking, he took to praising my work. I managed to get back outside before I guffawed.
