------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------

But now I hear from a marketer's list message it's because of internet 
marketing product bombardment, the next new shiny thing; that my lack of 
progress that is responsible for. I can't focus on anything.

Actually things are progressing well for me personally, but I wanted to get a 
little closer to the core of non-progress for IM'ers as I see it and as I have 
struggled with it in the past.

Could it be merely because we're just lazy? We try something for a couple days, 
no result show, then we freak out, have a meltdown and quit in total despair?  
Has that happened once or twice to you?

The meltdown (at whatever level) is the place where the losers separate out 
from the winners. Sure it isn't easy to get going, but the only thing holding 
you back is you.That struggle with despair is really the lower part of you that 
identifies with failure and very much prefers to remain in a state of pity 
because it can get so much mileage from it.

Truth is, so many times we cut ourselves off when we are just at the brink of 
success. I think this is because our subconscious realizes that something is 
about to change (for the better) and it stirs up anxiety in a desperate attempt 
to keep us down and in that perpetual state semi-misery.

My point? If things seem to be going nowhere, do not quit, keep trying to make 
things happen. You need to capture some sort measure of success, hold onto it 
and start to build from it.  You've heard the saying that it's always darkest 
just before dawn?  Well preceding the dawn of making money online can be some 
of the most trying times; but you have to give something a good month of 
application before results may show.  The making money overnight scenario only 
happens in the ad copy.  

Does this sound like desperation? Maybe you like everything to go *perfectly*, 
maybe if you don't feel like you're in total control you're not doing it right. 
After all, isn't this how your mother/father/pastor/schoolteacher/IMguru told 
you how to do it. I mean, you don't want to be thought of as silly, stupid, or 
naive; do you?

Don't do it for them or their approval, do it for yourself; that way if you 
look like a fool on the way up, it won't matter to you that much. Ignore the 
metaphorical voices in your head, just keep on keeping on.
