Make Money or Make Up Excuses? What's Your Choice?
If you want to reach a higher level of success, there are two
things that will catapult you to achieving your true potential – getting rid of
your excuses, and understanding the power of perseverance.
If you’re not getting the results you want, what is your
story? Are you blaming the economy for the lack of sales in your business? Is
your company not investing enough in marketing tools? Are you not happy with
your company’s compensations plans? Or do you lack the appropriate resources to
get the job done? Whatever your story is, if you want to get to the next level,
stop making excuses. My mentor always reminds me that I have a choice – I can
either make money or make excuses. But you cannot do both at the same time.
Which one do you want to make? At the end of the day, you either did it or you
didn’t. If you’re a sales professional, you either made the sale, or you
didn’t. You either have a winning attitude, or you don’t. You’re either prepared
for the sale, or not prepared.
If you want to go to the next level, you need to get rid of
excuses and take complete responsibility for your results. As soon as you take
complete responsibility for your situation, you start entering the game with
the top performers. Excuses don’t make you stronger or more strategic. It only
makes you feel better temporarily for the results you didn’t get. It will come
back to haunt you eventually. No one is a loser until you start blaming others.
No one became successful by making problems into excuses. High performers, on
the other hand, take full responsibility for their results, and they commit to
doing whatever it takes to get things done. They make the extra call, stay an
extra hour, or just work harder. Hard work won’t guarantee success, but without
it, you don’t stand a chance.
Are you working hard to prepare an action plan for your day?
Are you preparing to develop relationships with your prospects and top
customers? Excuses are so prevalent in our society. If you’re not getting
results, you only have to look in the mirror to get answers. Results are
directly related to the things you’re either doing or not doing. Are you
prepared for each call? Are you returning your phone calls? Do you believe in
your products or services? To get results, make a decision to play at the next
level and get rid of your excuses. If someone doesn’t get the results he wants,
a true performer would say, “It’s my fault because I did not cultivate enough
relationships,” instead of saying “it’s the economy.”
In addition to taking accountability, high performers and
champions know the value of perseverance. Without perseverance, you only get
average results. If you feel like you’re hitting the wall, remember that this
is a test for you. If you quit now, you are creating a pattern for the future
of quitting when the going gets tough. How do you know if you persevered
enough? When you achieve what you set to do. Perseverance is a seed to
greatness – can you persevere through the tough times? Make a decision now to
keep going. If you knew success was around the corner, would you keep pushing?

Re: Quote of the Day - "The only people witho
- Thanks for sharing this Evan, there are some very powerful quotes in there, I particularly like this one:-
You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.

*This* is very good advice. I went to a site a couple of weeks ago to order a DVD, an independent movie, and instead of having Paypal, I had to jump through hoops to sign up for their payment system. It would have taken me more minutes than I cared to spend, so I just didn't bother!
Re: May Traffic Drop Off from Google's Update
- I feel that the best way to make your website click is to target both SEO and other marketing channels. In case it is not possible for website owners or webmasters to invest into other marketing channels, then they must make sure that they are following guidelines laid down by search engines.
Whenever there is an update in algorithm, it is only done to filter out artificial websites from the search results. However , it is observed that on several occasions innocent people fall victim to the update in algorithm. If you have an article website and your member copy pasted article from some other website, there is very little you can do to avoid duplicate penalty.
The latest tips to avoid your rankings going into roller coaster ride is to make sure :-
a) That your website is having genuine and unique content
b) Make sure you do not use any automated SEO tools.
c) Make sure that your back linking pattern is not a pre-defined targeting same set of keywords again and again.
d) Add useful content to your website every single week or fortnight ( if possible)
e) Abstain from artificial keyword density
f) Abstain from empty pages on your website or doorway pages with empty or duplicate content.
g) Make sure you to not have HTML errors in your coding ( If your H1 tag is left open, then it can trigger SPAM ALERT on Google.)
