Are You A Half Empty Person Or Half Full?

After all, think of all the other wonderful things you could buy with $1000.

If I was merely spending $1000 then I would find it difficult myself but that it is not the way I think and it DEFINITELY makes all the difference. When I am buying anything online I always weigh up the odds. The question I ask myself is this: Will I be able to profit from this service, strategy or marketing product within a reasonable amount of time?

I have always thought like this, even from my beginnings online....... I would buy into a product or service, join their affiliate program and then put everything into promoting this product/service until the service became free to me and eventually made me a profit.

This my friend is part of the mindset that seperates winners from losers.......

Winners' predominant thought is - How much will I make?

Losers' predominant thought IS - How much will it cost me?

It's back to the half full, half empty analogy.

Nothing wrong with showing some caution of course and being prudent but if you find yourself always coming up with excuses for not taking measured risks then maybe you are not cut out for running an online business.

Some would be aghast if they looked at the bills I have built up over the years but they don't see the experience I have gained nor the profits I have made from the very same outgoings. I have profited from at least 90% of the tools I have used.

I make it a point of joining the affiliate program of a purchased product and making a profit. It's like I hate the idea of paying for anything, so I don't.....or at least I don't remain in the red for long.

When buying a product or service, make sure that you are going to use it.

Now that may seem a daft thing to advise but you would be surprised at the amount of marketers who buy buy buy and have shelves and desktops full of all sorts of tools and resources that have never been looked at. When asked how such and such's course worked for them, they unsurprisingly respond that it wasn't worth the money.

You MUST put the tactics and strategies recommended into practice, even if it is a little bit at a time. Sometimes you just need to make a start.

I bought John Reese's Traffic Secrets Package right after it was released and the ideas and strategies it has given me which I have been able to put into use have more than paid for it's cost.

Not only that but the followup support and further products that John has provided have been unbelievable. It is true what they say about this guy he really does overdeliver.

This is an example of the concept that I am trying to convey. I didn't have a problem paying the cost of this package because it has already paid me back and more. More importantly I bought the package knowing this.

The course contains 8 JAM PACKED DVDs from one of John conferences and before I had finished looking at the third or fourth I had so many ideas flying around in my head that I knew that this guy could have charged 10 times the price for this course and I would have profited. That's right TEN TIMES the price!

You can actually hear some excerpts from the DVDs at his site. Go and listen, you may get some tips from these, I did before I even bought:

The thing that also sets this course apart from others is it actually shows you how to impliment the strategies involved with step by step tutorials AND lists the resources needed to do so.

Many times I have paid for a course that left me with no clue as what to do to actuallly start earning. Not so with Traffic Secrets.....Many people for instance do not have a clue about Google adwords, including me. John actually shows in one of his tutorials, how to get set up with Google, target the right keywords and send traffic to your site and start getting sales that very same day.

This is just one example, the benefits of owning this package are too numerable to mention.
