Can't and Newbie, Sure Paths to Failure!

By Randy - The Hermit - Baustert

Believe it or not, your mindset is more important than any of the knowledge you have. Henry Ford only had very limited formal education, but he had a desire and a mindset that actually forced him to achieve his goals. He is also the one that said, "Whether you think you can or think you can't you're right!"

Henry Ford's mindset created a completely new way for industry to create products and it could even be attributed to helping start the industrial revolution. Why? Simply because he had the desire to reach his goals and he wouldn't accept can't as an excuse.

The word can't is a word that is sure to bring you failure if you use it all the time. I like to define can't as conveniently accepting negative thoughts.

C= Conveniently.

A= Accepting.

N= Negative.

T= Thoughts

Don't accept negative thought from yourself or anybody else. You are the only one that can give up on your goals and the only one that can accept these thoughts. You will reach your goals but only if you believe you can.

Just because you haven't discovered how to do something doesn't mean you can't do it.

It doesn't mean it can't be done just because no one has done it before.

All you need to do to achieve the things you think you can't do is to create a mindset that gives you a burning desire to accomplish you goals. You can do anything you just have to figure out how.

The most common excuse that I have heard used for Internet marketing purposes is, "I am a newbie!"

You might think that being a newbie isn't an excuse but instead is the truth but that isn't the way it usually works. Just about the only time you hear some one say they are a newbie is when they are using it as an excuse. For example:

Question: Do you have a website?

Answer: I don't have one I am a newbie.

Question: What field are you working in?

Answer: I don't have one I am a newbie.

Question: Have you started building your list yet?

Answer: No, I am a newbie.

As you can see all the answers were used as an excuse for not having something done. I know I used this as an excuse, when I started out, and you probably have too.

Taking action is the only difference between a newbie and a non-newbie. If you want to reach your goals you can't do it as a newbie so take some action no matter how small and move toward your goals.
