My wife and I like Chinese food, and there is a pretty good Chinese food place that delivers to our neighborhood.  So, just about every Wendesday night we order Chinese.  It's sort of a tradition with us, and I really look forward to it each week.  Sometimes the simple things in life are the best.

Lately, I have noticed that all of the fortune cookies have messages inside that relate to my internet business activities.  So, I thought I would start sharing those with you.  Who knows, this may even become a regular feature.  So, without further delay, here is my first “Internet Marketing Fortune Cookie”:

“Your Efforts Are Budding — Results Will Appear Soon”

This is a message that a lot of us in Internet Marketing need to hear.  So many people get into Internet Marketing because they need to make money fast and easy.  While that certainly does happen, this is not the typical case.

The fact is that Internet Marketing is a lot of hard work.  Sure, it may eventually be possible to work 4 hours per week and make $17 Million a year, but that will not happen until after a lot of the hard work and learning is done.  There are exceptions, but this is the rule — you have to work hard (and smart) to succeed.

However, if you work hard and treat your Internet Marketing efforts like a business, you can and will succeed (especially if you have the right coaching available).

The number one reason people fail in Internet Business is that they quit too soon. Why do they quit?  Often times it is because they are looking for “something for nothing.”  Other times, they just get discouraged or listen to bad advice.  Don't be that person.  Keep making progress.  Do something today that will help your business.

Your efforts will generate results soon.

Do you agree?  Or are you frustrated about your internet business or have another point of view?  I want to hear about it in the comments below.

Best regards,
Mark
