Slow Burn to Online Success - Persistence Pays

1: Failure doesn't "happen"; it's a choice.
There are only two ways you can fail - you can give up and quit when something goes wrong, refusing to learn from your mistakes. Or you can try new ideas and learn from what works. Seek out the positive in every bad situation and ask, "What did I learn from this?"
2: Assume nothing, test everything
Deal in nothing but the facts, and check details: does a link work or not?
Theories, assumptions and guesses are the enemies of success. Some of the most interesting statistics may be based on flawed data. Before you make decisions, ask questions. Assume nothing. Test everything.
3: Make opportunities to learn, and take notes.
Read every business book, article, course, and marketing campaign you can get your hands on. And not just material related to Internet marketing; study OTHER industries, too - both online AND offline. Here you will find ideas that you can apply to your business. Keep notes of everything you read, refer back to them every month, to see if your thoughts have changed or you have overlooked something that touched a spark in you a while back.
4: Seek out great teachers, and be a great listener. If you want to fast-track your success, it's critical to learn from those who have gone before you... even if you just have the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. Find people who are getting the results YOU want to achieve, and do not be afraid to ask "great people" for advice...
5: Define your own success and live with passion.
However much we resist the truth, it still applies: if you do not set goals you will not achieve them! You just need to set goals that you're excited about, and then take persistent action.

If you decide to allow your age, background or education to limit your potential, they will. But if you decide you can do anything, then you will... Success isn't determined by genetics. It's about persistent, consistent action and perseverance. Check out this example of hard work paying off.
