The following are a couple of excerpts from the book, Getting Started remember you can get the entire report free. Just click the link at the top of the page.

Believe it or not, your mindset is more important than any of the knowledge you have. Henry Ford only had very limited formal education, but he had a desire and a mindset that actually forced him to achieve his goals.

He is also the one that said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t your right!”

His drive and determination took him from a non-educated worker to a leader in industry.

This is the same type of mindset you need to have to succeed. This is a mindset that doesn’t say, can’t!

The word can’t is a word that is sure to bring you failure if you use it all the time. I like to define can’t as conveniently accepting negative thoughts.

C= Conveniently.

A= Accepting.

N= Negative.

T= Thoughts

Whenever you say you can’t do something, you are conveniently accepting negative thoughts. There is always a way to achieve your goals.

If you don’t know how to do something that doesn’t mean you can’t do it.

If it hasn’t been done before, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

All you have to do is to create a mindset with a burning desire to achieve. This means anything that you think you can’t do, can be done. You just have to figure out how to do it.

NEWBIES

The most common excuse that I have heard used for Internet marketing purposes, is “I am a newbie!”

I know this doesn’t sound like an excuse, but it is. Gary Ambrose pointed this out to me a couple of years ago. When you say you are newbie, you are using that as an excuse. The reason for this is that you never say I am a newbie unless you need an excuse.

Example: what is your website?
Answer: I don’t have one I am a newbie.

Question: what niche are you working in?
Answer: I don’t have one I am a newbie.

Question: have you started building your list yet?
Answer: No, I am a newbie.

As you can see all the answers were used as an excuse for not having something done. I know I used this as an excuse, when I started out, and you probably have too.

But just being a newbie doesn’t mean that you can’t take action.

Getting started doesn’t take a lot but you have to take action in order to start.
