Overworked, Underpaid and Confused?
You can relate can’t you?
( 2 min. Video Version CLICK HERE )
The majority of people are lost online. I know this because I have spent more time than I would like to admit going in circles myself.
Well, there is some good news and some bad news to this post.
Bad news – Success isn’t a Choice.
Take a look inside and see. Success comes to those who become Success Conscious, “failure” (if there were such a thing) comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.
Are You a Success or Failure?
We may distract ourselves from an honest answer to this question, but in the end our circumstances will answer it for us.
Good news – Success Online comes down to just TWO Things:
1. Self Confidence (Your inner Alpha game).
2. Marketing Ability (Expressing these Alpha traits in the market place).
( ref. Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring )
We each have to be honest with ourselves and each other, and this can be hard to do especially when working online.
So I tested my own self confidence recently.
I looked in the mirror and asked myself, “Tim, are you a success or failure”? then I realized something new.
It was one thing for me to ask and answer this question as who I see myself to be in the offline world.
But… “is your answer the same for the online/virtual you?”
It wasn’t for me, in fact it still isn’t and I suspect the same may be true for you.
Life circumstances at the time of this writing have forced me to dig deeper into the online/virtual me and the online/virtual you!
My whole life’s purpose is caught up in this, could it be that yours is too?
If so then I know you’ll enjoy this ongoing discussion in the IMezine and at the Internet Marketing Success Blog

Interesting post. I’m not sure if I see an online and an offline persona in myself. I worked for my self in the offline world the big difference between the two was I have years (decades) of experience in the field I worked in offline and the complete opposite in the online.
I know some peoples persona’s change hiding behind a keyboard but I think what I portray online is the same as I do in the real world.

I agree Tim, Marketing ability is quite important especially in the IM market. We just need to learn the right way to position ourselves.
Your subconscious also play a big role too. Just like the mirror exercise, you have to see and feel that you can be successful before success can come to you.

Hey Tim,
I really liked this post, it pretty sums up where I feel I am at. I have to say I am probably laking in self confidence in the internet marketing game, which means a lack of confidence in Marketing ability. What do I need to do to become an accountability, I’m sure I could really benefit and hopefully have something to offer in return.
Cheers
Mel

Hei from Norway and thanks for the comments Mel, Huddson and Rod,
Regarding “Accountability Partner,”
Got the idea from reading Alex’s “Post Launch Profits” for the first time. What a great resource with many action steps to implement. Here is what prompted this post from page 86 :
“Just make sure you work out what your strengths are early on and also be sure
to know your weaknesses too, then play to your strengths and get help on your
weaknesses
A major part of my Team is my Accountability partner Ray La Foy
Do you know how powerful it is to keep yourself accountable to someone?
Two of my mentors Donna Fox and Tom Beal set me up with my accountability
partner and now Ray and I speak on a weekly basis and have done all year,
We keep each other accountable to complete one main task each week. I pick
my main task and Ray picks his main task
We also ask each other if we completed the one main task from last week
There can be only 2 replies:
Yes or No
If I say yes or no to completing my last weeks task, Ray would then ask me how
that made me feel.
I would reply and then ask Ray the same
question
Ray would then go onto ask me what my
main task for this week is and if I
complete it – how will it make me feel.
Then I will do the same in return.
I can’t tell you why this works so well but
when Ray and I make each other
accountable to complete our main task
together, our weeks just become so productive.
This is one of the major building blocks of my online business and each and
every week we speak we reach new heights and it’s just so great doing business
with Ray!”
If being an accountability partner also interests you, then post a reply and let me know. If there is a lot of interest then we can figure out a good way to pair up with each other.
If anyone knows more of the details of specifically how Alex and his accountability partner Ray La Foy set themselves up to succeed doing this please share that here as well.
I would love to be an accountability partner with you Mel. I’ll email you directly about it.
