Affiliate Marketing Diary says … if you can do it once …

Steven from Affiliate Marketing Diary is a man I respect tremendously.

Not just because he was one of the first people to purchase my e-Book, and not just because he was one of the first to join my membership site at Earn1KaDay.com, but because he’s always on the cutting edge with new ideas and reviews of tactics that just plain work. He’s fastidious in making sense out of it all.

I was very happy to see this post recently on his blog about 5 Bucks a Day. I couldn’t have said it any better. But most of all, I want to point out one key quote from his post:

If you’ve managed to sell one product EVER, you should be able to do it again without too much effort. And the more times you do it, the easier it gets.

So true. So powerful. So simple. So life changing. I would even recommend your writing that down somewhere where you can see it every day.

In fact, that’s the premise that caused me to start Earn1KaDay.com. I learned through watching, reading, and most importantly through personal experience, that once you prove to yourself that you can do something, no matter how difficult it was to do it the first time, doing it the 2nd time is just so much easier. And after that the 3rd time, and then it sort of becomes a habit.

Do you remember Roger Bannister? For centuries, running a mile in under 4 minutes time was considered physically impossible for a human being. When Mr. Bannister accomplished that feat, it was only a short time before others started breaking that “impossible” barrier, and today it’s commonplace (among top athletes, don’t try that at home :-) ).

There are countless other athletic barriers that have been broken in similar fashion, but what Earn1KaDay.com is all about is trying to mentor and persuade our members to find a way to earn $1000 profit in a single day through Internet marketing. My theory and experience is that if someone does that once, they’ll do it again. And so, I want to do whatever I can to help them to do it the first time.

As Steven says above, the more times you do it the easier it becomes.

Why do you think that is? Well, I’m no psychologist, but I believe that until you actually perform a difficult task, like earning $1000 in a day, you have a self limiting mechanism in your subconscious that will not allow you to succeed.

Once you start to believe that you can do it, either by being told you can enough times, or by seeing others no more brilliant than you do what you want to do, suddenly the self limiting mechanism isn’t as strong.

And eventually, as you creep closer and closer to your goal, it becomes not only possible, but only a matter of time. Until it happens. And then again and again.

Were the contemporaries of Roger Bannister any stronger and faster after Roger broke the 4 minute mile barrier? Did they discover some special food that made them excel? No, they didn’t. The difference that took them from unable to break the barrier to success virtually overnight was the removal of their self limiting beliefs.

And so it is with the post it note that I talk about in “5 Bucks a Day“, which is a story for another day if you haven’t read the book yet.

    You don’t have to be psychologist to be right… Its like a flip in the mind… My first flip was when I made $100 a day. Second Flip was when I hit $500.

    Its like your viewpoint changes completely. You start to think from broader perspective.
