My 90days Letter to the Online Marketer...Letter Day 27

Dear Serious Online Marketer:

Positive Attitude Alone Can't Get You the Results.

This one is a long letter, try to patiently read through.

They say your attitude determines your altitude.

And if I'm correct, attitude refers to the way we react to things when they happen.

Generally, mind coaches admonish us to have a positive mental attitude. They tell us to see the good in everything and become the guy with the golden mind.

I must say that this teaching is invaluable and 100% correct and helpful.

However, if you're not careful, you may use it to ruin your entrepreneural journey.

The last time I spoke about this concept to an audience, here's the illustration I used to bring the lesson home:

I said:

Imagine yourself practicing how to ride a plane for the very first time. And your coach being a mind training guru decided to put you through the exercise of reciting 25 QUOTES OF POSITIVE AFFIRMATION.

He tells you to recite it every morning for 10 days.

Now, after the 10 days, he puts you into an Airbus A321, fastens you up And Zooom....

He tells you to fly the plane.

You being a positive mind with a 10 day powerful affirmation drill as your arsenal decides to put your mind at test.

You entered the controle room and discovered that there are plenty buttons on the panel...

Being confused, you say coach:

Toomany buttons here, which should I press?

Coach says: press anyone...just believe you can do it. Believe in yourself blah blah blah...

You press the button your mind chose and the plane refuses to start...

You eventually hit a key

And bum bum bum! The plane started racing on a high speed.

You lost controle and became more confused as the plane took up and eventually you crash landed.

Somehow, you survived the mini crash.

Your coach sees you and he's like:

Oh yes!

You've got to be stronger. Now you have to set your goals and believe more in yourself.

He asked you to paste your income goals all around your room 😁

And puts you on the pilot seat again asking you to fly the aircraft 🤕

🤣🤣🤣

Let's end this here, I believe you've already got the full insight.

Incase you've not:

The summary of it all is that if eventually you fail to learn the skill set that allows a pilot to fly a plane: you'll end up injuring or killing yourself while doing trial and error.

This is how most newbies approach their home based business.

They always almost subconsciously think they don't need to intentionally learn any skill to get the results they desire.

You seriously want to avoid this mistake driven by ingnorance and a foolish addiction to the norms and cultures of:

"This is how we do it here".

More than ever before, our world has evolved and new norms are now emerging.

Know the fundamentals, learn the skill set, innovate on them and follow someone who's got the kind of result you want...

There are million ways of killing a bird but all are built on one same principle.

Yours Sincerely
Michael Ehumadu.
