If you have not been successful in your online business yet
then it is likely that is because of our commitment level.
Right now I want you to measure your commitment level. Rate
it from 1 being the least committed to 10 being the most
committed towards your success online. Now let's take that
number and put a zero behind it and turn it into a
percentage. For example 4 would now be 40% and 6 would be
60%. It is important to first know this commitment level
before you will be able to figure out how and by how much
it needs to be raised.
Why is your commitment level such an important factor in
your success? It is important because depending on how
committed you are, your actions will change. You will do
more productive activities when you have a higher level of
commitment than you ever would with less commitment. Your
mind and actions change because your focus has changed.
In order for me personally to become successful online I
had to achieve a 100% commitment level. That is when I knew
that this was my passion and that I wanted nothing else
besides success through an internet business. My commitment
changed my daily routine immensely. I would then wake up in
the morning, get on the computer and begin work on things
that I knew would progress my online business. With my free
time I would read blogs, articles, listen to training
audios and videos and continue to expand my knowledge and
apply that knowledge as best I could. Every moment I had I
would be anxious to work on my business because I had a
100% commitment level and a very strong desire to create
time and financial freedom for myself in the near future.
Once I started working on my business like this I had new
ideas for my business constantly popping up in my mind and
essentially the universe came together to form what was a
strong desire into a clear path towards my goal. It was not
long at all before I was making enough online to quit my
day job and work full time from home.
How many rags to riches stories have you heard or read? If
you have been online for much time at all I'm sure you've
seen at least quite a few, and if you have been online
longer you have probably seen many. These are people who
practically had nothing to work with except a strong desire
and commitment, and now earn multiple six figure incomes.
There are many people who have experienced that and the
only difference between them and others is their extreme
commitment to success. They would not accept failure.
I was only moderately successful for a couple years when I
first started out. I had a commitment but it was only 50 or
60%. My breakthrough as explained earlier did not come
until I chose to give it my all and went for it 100%. The
truth is that even with a 50 or 60% commitment level you
will not receive the results you desire. In fact even 70 to
80% is not acceptable. If you want to make a full-time
income online you need to be 90 or 100% committed. You need
to provide your online business a power boost by working on
it every chance you have, brainstorming and thinking about
it even while you may be at your regular job, and working
late nights to ensure change. Trust me, if you work like
this you will receive major change in your business within
just a few weeks, and within a few months easily be making
the money you need to continue it full time from home and
be free of your day job. The great thing is that after you
have done this for a while and experienced its success it
actually will take less and less commitment on your end to
continue that success into the long future. You will have
cut out your job and have more free time, and even if you
work less on your online business since you already have
gained the knowledge and financial foundation... you will
be perfectly fine! Now that is time and financial freedom!
The important thing is getting yourself to that level, the
crazy desire and commitment level, because it is then your
thinking and actions will change.
I will now share with you the different characteristics one
has with a 100% commitment level. If this does not describe
you then try to get motivated, discover your emotional why
for why you are doing this in the first place, and try to
adopt the characteristics in order to boost your commitment
level through the roof. Again, the following are shared
from the viewpoint of someone with a 100% commitment level.
1) If it is to be, it is up to me. As a highly committed
individual you know that your future and success depends
only on you. You will not even believe in the ability for
someone else to have control over this. Your failure can
only be blamed on one person, you.
2) I will make the time to succeed. You may have a very
busy schedule, but you believe and know that there is
enough time in each and every day for your business. You
will not stand even one day, but instead walk at least one
foot closer each day towards the door of success. Even ten
minutes spent productively is better than nothing.
3) My time will be spent on activities that produce the
most results. The fact is that 20% of what you do online
will create the majority of your results. You need to focus
on the things that create those results. Spending all of
your time checking e-mail, reading forums, or chatting is
usually never a productive way to spend your time. Placing
advertisements or anything that will produce real results
is well spent time.
4) I will make myself coach-able and shaped into the
characteristics needed for me to succeed. You are aware
that some of the things you may have been taught and
learned in the past are not true and will only hinder your
success. You allow yourself to learn and have the humility
to know that each person you come in contact with has the
potential to share knowledge that could help you. You are
also aware that some of your current habits may hinder or
block your success online, and you will need to work on
changing these habits. You have the courage and power to
move beyond any obstacle that comes in your way.
5) I have a burning desire so strong that I will seek out
mentors and attempt to soak up every bit of knowledge they
have. This is a big one and I have noticed this
characteristic only in those who become very successful.
Most leaders are more than happy to help, but you must have
the desire to chase after them, ask questions, and pursue
them to follow their lead. Too many people have the desire
to learn but they do not act on it. Successful mentors and
leaders do not have the time to be chasing after you trying
to teach you, you need to feel comfortable with approaching
them on a regular basis because it is easy for them to
forget about you or lose touch. Those that have contacted
me on a regular basis asking for tips on things they are
doing or on their marketing have experienced impressive
improvement. Make sure to find several mentors that you
want to learn from.
It sounds simple but it is always easier said than done.
Check your commitment level on a regular basis and make
sure to keep it full to the brim if you want results fast.
