Look For The Good

As an Internet marketer, I often hear the criticism of people who have joined an online opportunity that ended up taking thier money only leaving them unsuccessful. I have been fortunate to join online money making programs like MyInternetBusiness.com that are legitimate and that go the extra mile to eliminate the guesswork.

But I still understand how criticism is a damaging thing. The other day I was feeling down about something I can't even remember. I then ended up criticizing about everything I saw, but quickly found the error of my ways when I happened upon the following from an anonymous author. Hope it may have some value for you.

Look for the good things, not the faults. It takes a good deal bigger-sized brain to find out what is not wrong with people and things than to find out what is wrong. The little man often actually rates his capacity by the number of things he can find the matter. The valuable fellow is the one who finds what isn't the matter and gives it a pat on the back.

Small or Larger Business to Make Money

As I continue to work with the online business community I have found that I continue to make money consistently with my smaller dollr items than with my bigger ticket items. Two of them for comparison. I have MyInternetbusiness in which you can begin at $495 and Trafficwave where you can begin at a mere $17.95. While I get more activity with the lower cost one I of course make more money with the higher cost one.

Some would think that it might be better to stay with the lower cost one/s because you get greater activity. I have found that this is a multiple streams of income kind of business so my feeling is to make sure you have multiple of the lower cost items and use the higher ticket items as well because they probably give you greater value in products and services.

Know What You're Doing or Find a Mentor

As I do often, I've been checking out online opportunities and I have written about the fact that there are many opportunities for one to make money online. I've recently joined one called MyInternetBusiness and find that this Internet Business has everything someone needs to run a legitimate business online.

But I have found with any of these programs that many people like you and I are missing the boat on how to really make the money. I have found that all too often we go into businesses saying we expect to work at it but not really knowing how to work at it and therefore put in an effort that doesn't deserve success. - been there done that.

This is why I talk so often of either knowing exactly what you are doing, or join a program that has it all - the opportunity has plentiful resources in it's back office and the sponsor or invitor you join provides mentoring to provide additional education and support.

Do What They Say

I just recently joined a new online business opportunity called MyInternetBusiness. I've joined many and the only one that didn't work was my very first one about five years ago. The reason I'm telling you this is to say that I've had success but it hasn't been as astounding as I would liked it to have been.

Thru a lot of introspection I find that there is a good reason why I can have success and why I haven't had as much success as I would have liked.

Not initially knowing what to do, I've done a lot of trial and error advertising instead of the advertising that the plans' I joined mentors told me to do. Yes each one I joined had a mentor to take the rough edges off of my lack of knowledge. I did some of what they told me and at other times I let it slide. The wrong thing to do in this industry.

I tell my 15 year old daughter to follow through with things. If you've chosen to do it, then jump in with both feet and do what the experts in your venture tell you to do and I'll promise you success.

While I can't exactly promise you anything I can almost promise you that if you join the right plan and consistently do the work the experts tell you to do, then you'll find success at making money online.

Today Is The Day

Today, whatever day it is, try to give yourself real value. How ‘bout the enjoying yourself.

Make it an obvious effort to find enjoyment and fulfillment in anything you do today. Decide to enjoy the real person you are.

Forget about the fleeting pleasures and look at real, substantive enjoyment. Do it in a way that seems to say yes to life and whatever is deeply important to you.

Don’t trap yourself into thinking you have to feel guilty about enjoying every moment. Because the more you find real enjoyment and fulfillment at what you’re doing the more you’ll contribute goodness and value to the world around you.

Enjoyable and fulfilling activities are those that make a positive difference where you end up giving of yourself.

Life offers boundless possibilities for true enjoyment. Enjoy being a part of it all, and in so doing you'll make it all that much better.

Online Business With The Right Attitude

With the online business opportunity arena so big, one must understand that in these businesses, even if automated, people are still involved and need respect. Treat the people with the right attitude, even if they never join your business. The the ripple effect of you kindnesses will have a positive effect in the future, if not immediately.

The following poem about responsibility attitude and kindness is pertinent........

DROP A PEBLE IN THE WATER

Drop a pebble in the water:
Just a splash and it is gone;
But there's half-a-hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on,
Spreading from the center,
And there is no way of telling
Where the end is going to be.

Drop an unkind word, or careless:
In a minute you forget;
But there's little waves a-flowing,
And there's ripples circling yet,
And perhaps in some sad heart
A mighty wave of tears you've stirred,
And disturbed a life once happy
Ere you dropped that unkind word.

Drop a word of cheer and kindness;
Just a flash and it is gone;
But there's half-a-hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on,

Bearing hope and joy and comfort
On each splashing, dashing wave,
Till you wouldn't believe the volume
Of the one kind word you gave.
- James W. Foley
