Work hard wisely for success.
By Raymond

This past week, I had another ezine publisher contact me and ask
if I would be willing to do an interview for an article he was
writing. I am telling you this because one of the questions he
asked got the light bulb blinking.
The question "How did you learn what it takes to succeed?"
The list of questions I was provided, all pertained to my experiences
on the internet. In the spirit, so to speak, of the line of questions,
there was no doubt the question was directed at how I had learned
to succeed on the internet.
Yet as I pondered the question, the answer seemed to be appropriate
for every success that I had achieved in life. Of course some
of the specifics were different, simply because of the tasks involved,
but the overall picture was the same.
When I decided to take the plunge into the Internet marketing
world, I knew I would be successful. How did I know? Because I
was going to do whatever it took to get there.
I know some of you are thinking that means running over people,
taking people's money anyway you can. Anything to be successful.
That is not what I mean at all. That comes down to a sense of
morality. Do you feel comfortable treating people like that? If
you feel that is success, you need to go back to the big drawing
board of life.
What I am taking about here is putting forth the time and energy
necessary to succeed. Success is within everyone's grasp if they
are willing to put forth what it takes to get it.
It still totally amazes me how many people are looking for some
miracle that is going
to make them successful. Success comes from hard work. If you
want to be successful on the net or any other venture of your
life, make it happen.
Of course you also need to learn what to work hard at. I have
many people tell me
about the long hours they put in working a marketing business
and still are not making any significant money.
Building a business takes time. I don't care if it's on the internet
or down town New York City. Just make sure you spend your time
accomplishing something.
What do you spend your time doing? If you are getting closer to
your goal of success, then maybe you are spending your time doing
the right thing. If you are no closer to your goals then you were
a month ago, maybe you need to take a look at how you spend your
time.
Learning to spend your time wisely is one of the most important
lessons you will ever learn. You've probably heard this a number
of times in your life. Yet so many work blindly towards a goal
they will never reach.
How do you learn to spend your time wisely? Look around, how are
the successful people spending their time? Are you spending your
time like them or are you spending your time like the other 95%
who will end up failing?
How do you learn how to spend your time in the most efficient
way? My advice is to spend more time seeking knowledge and less
time doing tasks that aren't producing results.
Spend an hour learning and an hour putting what you learned into
practice. Ninety-five percent of the time, you are going to accomplish
more than the person who spends two hours working blindly.
Work hard to succeed but learn what to work at from those who
are already where you want to go. How did I learn how to succeed?
The same formula that everyone else who succeeds uses.
Work hard wisely.
