Hi- this is the real Sue McDonald and I just wanted to tell you I wrote a blog in March saying I wanted to get this blog to number 1 position under the search of “Sue McDonald”and guess what happened this morning – I finally did it. I typed in Sue McDonald to search in Google and this is what happened. The highest I had ever been before was number 5. Can you image my surprise when I found that “My IM Journey” had reached number 1 out of four and a half million?

It has taken a few weeks and several blog postings but I now know that it was possible. I had some reservations sometimes but I always believed that it could be possible. There it is – that mindset that it was possible. When I wrote the blog ” What’s in a Name” on March 20, there was only a results of 748,000 and I was in position 144. Now there is a massive 4.5 million.

There are several ways that I have been able to achieve this results and if you read through previous blogs you will see how I have used SEO and other methods to get traffic to my site. I must also says thanks to my coach/mentor Mark Terrell, who if he did doubt me when I wanted to get to the top of the search, never said so.

So, if like me, you want to get the top for your particular search, just follow all the rules. If I can do it, you can too. It may be easier for you because you may have less competition. Follow all the steps that I have told you about in my blog posts and I am sure you will achieve the same results.

Have you taken the time lately to reflect on how things are going? Are you moving forward towards achieving your goals or have you deviated away from them and started traveling down another pathway? Or are you just marking time? Let’s just look at where you are right now and let’s looks at where you want to be. If you want to be a successful internet marketer – what do you need to do?

I can’t say it loudly and often enough-sign up with a coach who will teach you and also be a good mentor.You need to enroll in a course that takes you through all aspects of internet marketing. The next thing you need is the right mindset. Write out your goals and then write out the plan to achieve those goals. I know that this sounds simple, but the problem we all have in our lives, is that sometimes we get distracted. Having your goals written down in front of you will certainly help keep you on track. You can have them stuck on your bathroom mirror, on your refrigerator or stuck near your computer. You may even want to write them on a card and carry it around with you. You need to be able to read them over and over again.

It is just like walking through long grass, if you keep walking the same pathway every time you go through the field, pretty soon, the grass will become flattened and it is easy to walk through and you can clearly see your way. You can achieve a similar results by constantly reminding yourself of your goals – it is like beating a pathway to your brain, you are planting this in your subconscious mind and the thought or your goals become your belief and this will help achieve your success.

OK – you have taken the wrong turn! Did you have your goals clearly displayed in front of you? Did you rush out and buy all those products that your coach told you NOT to buy? You are trying so much that you are confusing yourself and getting frustrated because you are being pulled in several directions at once? Yes- I can hear you answering. Well just stop and take a deep breathe in and out – not a sigh – but a deep breathe. Now that we have found out where you are going wrong, let’s get back to the right track immediately and discard all those distractions. Get back to the basics that you were taught and if there is something that you are having trouble with, ask for help. If you have a coach – ask him first but if the coach is not available, ask a fellow marketer or go to a forum and put your question there. Remember -”You have to do it for yourself but you do not have to do it alone”. I want you to be in the 3% success rate and I know you want that to.

Well, I hope you all reflect on what I have said. So this is Sue until next time…..
