This week, I was having a skype call with my coach and mentor Mark Terrell and the subject of, why are some people successful and others are not, came up during the conversation.

This bought me back to an article I wrote a long time ago – well not that long ago – but it seems like it. It was in August last year. Why do some people learn how to do something and become very successful at it?  The reason, I believe, is the teacher they have. This applies to anything you learn, be it at – home, school, college or as here with this Internet Marketing course. If you have someone, be it teacher or parent, who gives you words of encouragement, you will be spurred on to achieve more.

Yes, this gives you the right mind set, the positive attitude that you are going to reach the goals you have set for yourself. It has been proven scientifically, that if a child till the age of 7, is told words that are similar to these “you are stupid” or “you will never amount to anything”, these are the thought that they carry into their adult life. It becomes a self fulfilling prophesy.  When children, who are treated in this type of manner, they allow these thoughts to become their beliefs. But on the other hand, if they are praised and given  words of encouragement – they excel.

There is a similar thought pattern with friends and family of some internet marketers. It often happens friends or family will ask a question like”have you made any money yet” and because you haven’t or very little amount, you will often be told to give it away and get a second job. They quit when they are so close to becoming a success. I know some of you who read this , will relate to this.

So the next time you are teaching either a child or an adult, remember to encourage them – praise them and see the difference that you are making in their lives.

If you want to read the story I wrote this is the link but it is not about internet marketing – it is about health. You may have to copy and paste in your browser.
