So I followed my own advice from the previous post (take a break occasionally) and during the past few days I have been thinking quite a bit about my internet business and why I haven’t yet achieved the results I want to.   This thought process actually started by thinking about some of my skills that I have learned so far as an internet marketeer.  This is in no way is bragging (most of you, I’m sure, can do these things):

• I can custom design a web page using CSS and HTML
• I know how to capture, edit and create videos
• I know how to create custom graphics and animations using Photoshop
• I know how to use the google map API
• I know how to register and host custom domains
• I know how to install and configure Wordpress, vbulletin, Joomla, etc
• I can create custom ebook and software covers
• I know about Adsense, Adwords, affiliate programs, clickbank, etc.

In short, I have realized that I have all the skills and tools necessary to be a very successful internet marketeer.  So why am I only experiencing light success instead of the GREAT success I am hoping for?

This is the realization that I have come to and I hope it can benefit those who read this.  I am not achieving the results I want to because I lack:

1) Action:  Instead of just learning I need to DO.  As I heard recently from Russell Brunson, I need to “Ready, Fire, Aim!”  Instead of “Ready, Ready, Ready….” Maybe some of you are in the same position I am. You have had a website idea for weeks, months or even YEARS that you have been sitting on and it has never come to fruition. Maybe an eBook you keep talking about writing but never do. JUST DO IT!!

2) Vision:  I have many great website ideas (another post about that someday) that honestly, all could make me money.  Each of the domains (well…not ALL of them) have the potential to make some cash.  The problem is I have never truly had the singular vision of what exactly I want to do.   Do I want a string of successful blogs?  Do I want to run niche mapping directories?  What do I want to do?  In order to be great you have to know where I’m headed.

I’m actually pretty excited about what this means.  It means a new determination to take action and a new commitment to have a vision for my internet marketing.    Like I said, I’m pretty excited about what the future holds.  I hope to change the name of this blog to “I make NO money” to “I USED to make NO money”
