Hi to all aspiring Internet Marketers! I heard this the other day and thought how much it applies to all things in your life but especially for me it relates very well to Internet Marketing. So many people are drawn into the world of internet marketing with the promises of making a lot of money very quickly. They hear of the success stories and they think they will be able to replicate them but the truth of the matter is very different.

For someone just starting out, it is easy to be carried away and buy all the courses and books that are offered to you, because you are told that it is easy to make from a few hundred to thousands of dollars overnight. Sadly after spending, sometimes many thousands of dollars, you come to the realization that it is not easy and the only one that has made money is the person who sold you the material in the first place.

Unfortunately, this could be my story and part of it is. I was the gullible newbie who wanted so desperately to make money that I was shelling out money for video courses and books until I realized that there had to be an easier way. I was a bit like a ship without a rudder. Yes, I was in the water but certainly not going any where and maybe even ready to drown. If there was an easier way – I was determined to find it.

Now what  I really needed was a coach, a teacher and someone who would mentor me. Now there is a Chinese proverb that says “When the student is ready the teacher will come”. I had studied Chinese philosophy and found a lot of wisdom in it. So, it was no surprise,that one day I found this email in my inbox from someone I certainly did not know and it was a free gift from a person called Mark Terrell. I now know that it was an adswap, but I did know that then. My curiosity was aroused because when I clicked on the link inside the email this is what I saw.

So I decided to investigate who was this guy Mark Terrell and and what did he mean by ‘Helping Newbies’? Well the rest is history – after contacting Mark I enrolled in his coaching program for Newbies. Now, if you have read some of my previous posts, you will know that I was invited back to go through the course for a second time. Mark had so much demand for the course that he decided to do the Newbies course again before we could progress on to the Advanced.  The Advanced course should be starting in a few weeks and I know that is just going to be the most interesting time learning how to create multiple streams of income and becoming the success that I believe that I can be.

So this is Sue McDonald telling you – “If it is going to be – it is up to me” but it is up to YOU.
