Believing in everything you are doing is absolutely essential to your success. You must believe in yourself, in your business, in your products and most of all in your vision and your ability to achieve it. Henry Ford is often quoted as saying �If you believe you can, or you believe you can't, you are right�, or words to that effect. Do you understand what he was saying? You cannot achieve what you do not believe you are capable or deserving of achieving.
Now I could go on here at great length about the importance of this, but that would just make this post way too long. There have been many, many books written on this subject and its importance. What you really should do is check out some of these books. Those authors are much better at explaining the whole subject than I am.
What's important to you is that you MUST believe in yourself and everything you�re doing here. If you do not, you're probably wasting your time trying to make a success of Internet marketing.
WORK ETHIC
You must understand that if you're going to run your own business, no matter what type of business that is, you will need to work at it. I used to complain about working long hours when I worked for someone else, but when I started my own business I really found out what long hours and hard work were all about.
Whatever tasks you set for yourself during the course of a day, a week or a month, you must ensure that those tasks get done. Even though you're operating your business from home, maybe even in your pyjamas as some say you can, you must still treat this as a business and exercise discipline to get things done. If you can set aside a specific time and place where you can get away from everything else and work on your business, that would be ideal.
I cannot tell you how many times I've heard people who are trying to run home-based businesses complain that their business is failing. But when grilled about the time and effort they put into their business, it turns out that they thought they could do it with no effort.
Having said all that, you should know that in some parts of your business at least, you can outsource a lot of the work. What you must understand, however, is that no matter how much of the work you do outsource there will always be work to be done to build a business. The outsourcing will simply allow you to focus on those things which you are good at, and pay others in some way or another to do the things that you don't have the ability or time to do.
Now can you see how Belief can have such a big role in your success? Can you imagine trying to develop and maintain a good work ethic for a business you didn�t really believe in? It just wouldn�t happen � the two go hand in hand.
