Fear can manipulate our achievements and lack of abundance in life. Fear of divorce can stop us from asking our loved one for their hand in marriage. Fear of having a relationship and sharing our true feelings, can keep us lonely and single. Fear of flying can stop us from flying away to an overseas destination on our vacations. Fear of asking our boss for a pay rise can stop us from achieving the earning potential we desire.

In regard to internet and MLM business owners, fear can stop us from making the money we want. Fear can also take us away from the huge money we were making and return us abruptly back to our original lack of income. The definition of fear is "False Expectation Appearing Real" and to an online or traditional Internet marketer, fear can be the reason, year in and year out, why they are not making any money"False Expectation Appearing Real" and to an online or traditional Internet marketer, fear can be the reason, month after month, why they are not making any money!

To explain this concept further, there are folk out there, who are comfortable earning just $200 extra a month?but these business owners are not earning $2,000 a month because they fear taking their success to the next level.

On the other hand, there are also internet and MLM business owners, who find it easy to earn $8,000 a month with little effort, but fear boosting their earnings to $30,000 a month would mean dealing with distributors and customers on a daily basis, online daily and weekly training, mentoring leaders, handling complaints, and dealing with internet novices who can't cut and paste, let alone operate a mouse!

Stop and think about it, could this be the reason your online earnings have not increased?

I believe fear can stop us from becoming one of the leaders and top earners within our industry because we fear shouldering the positives and negatives that come with dealing with human beings on a daily basis. On the other side of the coin, there are wealthy online Internet heavy hitters, making $60k plus a month, who live in fear each day, because they fear competition and being knocked off their number one business ranking.

To get to where we want to be in life, to become financially free and happy firstly we have to stop all this false rubbish! It's what we think and daydream about and how we control our thoughts that really count. Everyone, including myself, has negative thoughts on a daily basis, but it's how we control our thoughts that make the difference between our online success and failure.

We have the power to control our thoughts! We can control what we see with our eyes and what we hear with our ears. We can decide to turn the TV off or not hire a particular DVD because the content of program is negative in nature and not conducive to our thought patterns and ongoing personal success.

We can also control our surroundings. We can decide not to pursue a friendship that could negatively impact our mindset and drag us down. We can decide to find employment elsewhere because our work site has negative moral problems. We can also decide to find a life partner who builds us up, holds us in high esteem and desires, like us, a happy and fruitful life.

Just like a computer we can decide to hit the delete key of a negative thought. Fear is a terrible way to live and we can decide not to live in fear.

Fear steals dreams. Fear can keep us from taking the next step, it can stop us from learning more and fear can stop us from earning more. Just like the popular book "Think and Grow Rich" set your goals, cultivate a positive thought pattern, daydream and visualise your wants and desires and believe you can accomplish them.

Don't be mislead though, goals can be a negative too! How many times have you been told to sit down and write a list of goals you want to achieve and allocate a time frame for those goals to be achieved? Not reaching your goals in a specified time can make you feel like a failure. So my point here is? goals can limit you too!

So, if you have a burning desire to become successful and profit online then make a list of goals you wish to achieve? and just do it! Every time you reach a written goal, just cross it off your list, add some more goals and daydream and believe some more. I believe ? "Online success is not a race, for some online success and profit can come quickly, and for others it can take years!"

My advice to you is?

(1) Write down your realistic goals and desires,
(2) Think positive and daydream to your success
(3) Don't set yourself up for failure by setting an unrealistic time frame to reach your goals
(4) Keep growing and adding more goals to your list

And... just like the Nike advert ? " JUST DO IT!"
