The Key to Success: The Ultimate Secret

by Kevin Hogan

....The intention is pure.

You truly want to do something to make your life mean something.

Maybe...You pick something that sounds fun, interesting, challenging or something that has a support system...like network marketing.

I don't like it.

Lousy choice for a business until you've already succeeded in business or are a top 10% salesperson. Network marketing has too many drawbacks for people who haven't been successful in business. Avoid it. I can't tell you how many people have told me they were going to make millions only to make their way to bankruptcy court.

Exceptions?

You bet. I've seen some people do real well with PrePaid Legal and Primerica which both have solid business models and some advantages other products/programs don't have...but I'd still pick an entrepreneurial venture. Save Amway for later.

A support system is nice but it isn't absolutely necessary for million-dollar achievement.

Another possibility?

Internet affiliate programs are some of the easiest, fastest ways to build a kick-butt income. They might be two-tiered, which is fine and they DO qualify as a true entrepreneurial venture.

That means YOU determine whether you will succeed or not. It's hard to say a person has 100% control in anything in life, but on the Internet you have about as much control and self-determinism as you can get in life.

So, for your first venture, you pick a business that doesn't require recruiting. (This way your friends still love you at Christmas.)

You might do any of a lot of things, but you finally DO something.

You start the "going into business process."

The thinking process goes OK.

The planning process goes OK.

The first phone calls or set of actions are uncomfortable.

Uh oh....

Because selling is uncomfortable, or making your first website is uncomfortable or whatever, you decide that this is probably "wrong for you."

I was mentoring a friend who was getting ready to start a service business ealier this week.

"My marketing plan is to hang those things from door knobs. I'll service the people who call in."

"You'll go broke."

That hurts so bad to say that.

It hurts worse to hear it.

The person thinks you're (me) "being negative."

No.

Just saving them $100,000, bankruptcy and their future.

It takes almost no time to borrow $100,000, start a business and kill it, and then wonder why it happened, or what went wrong.

Where things go wrong is at the intersection of you and your discomfort.

When you do something you aren't familiar with, or comfortable with, or you inherently don't like, you rarely will find the stick-to-it-iveness to continue.

Let's break this down to what happened to you...
