Thoughts...
"It is no use saying
"we are doing our best." You have got to succeed in doing what is
necessary."
"Money itself isn't the primary factor in
what one does. A person does things for the sake of accomplishing
something. Money generally follows."
"First say to yourself what you want to be; and then do what you have
to do."
"You cannot depend on your eyes when your
imagination is out of focus."
" The path to our
destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we
get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark
on. Maybe what matters is that we embark."
- Barbara Hall
"You
must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do
something for others - something for which you get no pay but the
privilege of doing it."
- Albert Schweitzer

Why Do People Fail?
[Darrell's preamble:
The other day I read about another "must have" product to drive
targeted traffic to your web site – or affiliate site for whatever you
promote. While reading about it, it occurred to me I remember
seeing another similar product being promoted just about a month or so
ago. I guess the herd mentality is alive and well. So…
…how do you stop yourself from jumping on the bandwagon – again – and
instead continue to focus on one or two things you are really good
at?
Know what I do?
I stop. And I consider the source of the information. Then
I re-read the teachings of one or two individuals I really trust to
give me the straight poop. By doing so it keeps me focused.
On such individual is Jim Straw. He’s not flashy, but folks, the
guy has been around a long time and he knows what he is talking
about. He practically defines the word entrepreneur, having sold
over $400 Million worth of products and services over the past 50
years. His course "How You Really Can ... Make
Your Internet Fortune As An Affiliate Marketer!" is, in my opinion,
the best investment you can make if you want to learn be a successful
affiliate marketer.
The other day I stopped again. I stopped because I received an
email from Jim entitled “Why Do People Fail?” What a powerful
lesson he gives his readers!
Jim has given me permission to reprint it here for your enjoyment.

Here’s Jim…
"Why Do People Fail?"
There has been much written, and said, about why and how people
succeed. The contention being that, in order to succeed, you must
learn, and then apply, the principles and techniques used by others who
have gained success.
But, knowing the principles and techniques used by others who have
gained success doesn't qualify a person to succeed. If it did, all of
those who have read and studied the various, and many, books, booklets,
plans, and programs on the subject of SUCCESS would, by virtue of their
knowledge thereof, be successful.
Statistically, 98% of the people in this country never reach a level of
anything more than sustained mediocrity; only 2% ever really achieve
success. - WHY?
The answer is simple. - They have never "qualified" for success,
because they refuse to "pay their dues."
These people (the 98%) are so wrapped-up in "protecting" and
"maintaining" the level of mediocrity they have achieved that they will
not risk one iota of what they have.
It's like the young boy who, at long last, got his first pair of really
fine shoes.
Now, these shoes were exceptionally fine. So fine, in fact, that the
boy spent many hours wiping and shining them - while keeping them safe
from scuffs, neatly wrapped in paper, in their box under his bed.
A number of opportunities presented themselves for the boy to wear the
shoes, but he chose to safe-guard them and wore his older shoes
instead. After all, if he wore them, he would run the risk of scuffing
them or dulling their glittering shine.
When the day finally arrived, when the occasion was most important, the
boy learned, to his disappointment, that his feet had grown and the
shoes no longer fit him. (I gave that pair of shoes to a more needy
neighbor - and, from that day forward, I have never again been afraid
to lose anything.)
Unfortunately, most people are like that boy. - They read all of the
books, booklets, plans, and programs about the principles and
techniques used by others to gain success. As the boy did with the
shoes, they let the opportunities to use what they have learned pass
them by - or, they make a half-hearted start, but never continue past
their first small and futile attempts.
Why do they hold back? - Because they fear losing what little they
have. They "protect" their meager and mediocre position so well that
they never lose it.
At retirement age, those people look back with pride at the fact that
they have ventured little and lost nothing. But, not unlike the boy and
his shoes, they learn, to their disappointment, that that which they
protected so well will not sustain them after their retirement and they
are forced to seek aid and assistance from their government, family and
friends.
Those people have never "qualified" for anything better, because they
have never "paid their dues."
If you haven't, yet, gained success, look around you. What are you
protecting? If you lost it all tomorrow, would you really lose anything
of great value?
People fail, not because they cannot succeed, but because they are
unwilling to risk what they have. They "protect" their mediocrity until
it is all they have left.
The struggle to achieve success is not unlike any great battle in any
war. – The victorious army is always the one that gives-up the position
it has won in order to advance against a better, more advantageous
position. Only the losing army stands and defends a mediocre position.
A young Lieutenant once asked a wise General, "Why should we try so
hard to reach a position at the top of the hill? As we charge up the
hill, our enemies will surely take the positions behind us, and we will
lose what we have gained; even if we take the hill."
The General, a very wise man, replied, "Yes - but, it is much easier to
charge down-hill. When we have taken the higher position, we will
charge back down the hill and recover all that we have lost. Then, we
will charge down the other side of the hill."
The people who make up the 2% that achieve success are forever charging
up the hill - losing all behind them - and then charging back down the
hill, on both sides, to regain anything they may have lost and achieve
even more success.
Not unlike the losing army, most people will never succeed, because it
would mean that they would have to give-up the mediocre position they
have protected for so long.
In order to succeed, you must first "lose" your mediocrity. - Success
doesn't happen any other way.
