Passion Prevents
Burn Out
Lack of passion for what you do,
is the single biggest problem with earning a living online, or
anywhere else for that matter. Here's how to stay focused, prevent
burn out, and stay passionate in all that you do.
The greatest problem when it comes
to affiliate revenue is that people quit too easily. They have no
passion for what they do. They put up a couple of sites, the money
doesn't flow in, so they pack it in.
There's a lot of suckers that jump on the affiliate band wagon. I
say suckers because they think its a quick fix or get rich scheme.
It's not. It's work.
Scared? Lazy? Ready to quit already? Good, more room for me, my
friends and coaching clients. ;-)
Okay, so why do people quit and burn out early? It's simple. They
have no passion for what they do. They don't enjoy the process. No
passion leads to distraction, which leads to lack of focus, which
leads to no drive, which leads to apathy and procrastination.
Are you putting up web sites just to make money? Sorry, but that's
the wrong beam to send into the universe. Any way you cut it, that's
punching the clock, a grind, just doing a 9-5 job, like any other.
You probably won't enjoy it or stick with it.
Are you doing what you love? And not doing it for the money? Good,
that's passion. A very strong beam to send into the universe.
Tony Robbins, coach and motivator, concludes every session with his
trademark, "Live with passion." Joseph Campbell, spiritual leader
and teacher, said after every interview, "Follow your bliss."
I say, "Do what you love, and never do it for the money. The money
will arrive in its own time, if it's supposed to, if what you're
doing serves the world."
Are you serving the world? Are you adding real value to your web
pages? Are you providing valuable information worth reading? Good,
that's exactly what you're supposed to do.
Don't worry if some spammy looking pages are ahead of you in the
search engines. They will get culled out. The human reviewers or
automated filters will catch them eventually.
Yes, you worked hard on your pages and believe they should be better
positioned than they are. Don't worry, don't sweat it. Just keep
learning and improving your abilities. You'll be better positioned,
eventually.
Just keep making more pages on related topics and linking them
together. Keep adding real value, good information. Especially keep
adding information that will help people with their purchasing
decisions and comparison shopping. That's what the web is used for.
Don't quit. Don't give up. Live and work with passion, real interest
and joy in what you do. Don't sweat the small stuff, or get over
analytical about what you do. Don't worry about keyword densities,
or if your pages are, "good enough."
Just move forward and keep making web pages on something you love.
Something you really enjoy doing, or know a lot about. Something you
can talk about for hours. Something you can infuse with enthusiasm
and contagious energy.
I've always said do what you love, success will come. The money will
follow, but only if you do not give up. Don't believe me?
Doug Hall, author of Jump Start Your Business Brain, is one of the
most successful marketers in all the world, when asked about success
said, "Fame and fortune come to unreasonable people who continue
onward, long past when reasonable people would give up."
And according to another personal hero of mine, John Ratey, clinical
professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, "Find your
mission, a commitment, purpose, accomplishment, some thing, to free
you from all the addictive behaviors in life."
Ratey concludes his book, "User's Guide to the Brain" by saying this
about passion:
"Remember this one thing, in pursuing your passion, the actual doing
is what matters, not any measure of success. A diet of constant,
stimulating activity, is the best prescription for our troubles. It
keeps the brain in a state of constant change, flow, confirmation,
and anticipation, thereby reducing the noise, fragility, self-doubt,
and stagnation with which we all have to contend."
Are you working on something you're passionate about? Are you juiced
and can't wait to get at it? Are you still working at it on a hot
sunny day, while everyone else is playing outside? If this sounds
like you, success is on its way.
