When you first launch your career as an online marketer, you are probably brimming with optimism. You have seen what can be accomplished through hard work and determination, and what others have achieved in terms of personal satisfaction and monetary gain.
You have no doubt you can enjoy the same. But some people quickly allow negativity to take root, and their once optimistic outlook turns dark and hopeless. Negativity can hurt your progress because you will always be down on yourself and others.
That doesn’t help you succeed or help you guide your audience to success with their goals. You have to change the wording you are using during moments of pessimism. For example, you probably talk about what you can’t do or what you should have done.
Turn that wording into positive verbiage. Be honest about what you can and cannot do, and don’t over dramatize the situation. Maybe the truth is you could do it, but you feel intimidated by it, or the process is overwhelming you.
If you should have done something, ask yourself if it is too late, and if it is not, get it done. If you don’t believe in yourself, how can your audience believe in you as a leader in your niche or program? The customers will sense your hesitation and pessimism, and turn to someone else who radiates optimism, and has a positive point of view.
Not only can your pessimism hurt your own level of success, but it will impact those around you as well. It will concern your family and friends, dampen the spirits of your target audience, and cause your colleagues in your industry to avoid you as they try to keep their own positive mindset intact.
One way to turn your pessimism around is by starting to use positive affirmations, or take a class on the law of attraction. Or, choose another type of motivation to help keep you inspired. Watch motivational videos, and start your day with positive thoughts, and a smile on your face+. Seek out a mentor who can help power you through to success, when you feel down and discouraged.
There are very few people in the business world who will boost your morale for you. You have to learn to do this for yourself. That might be one of the hardest things to do, being in business for yourself, where there are many ups and downs. But if you can learn to push through these dark moments, you will be happy with what you can accomplish in life.
There is light at the end of every tunnel, and it is not a train, but the success you have been dreaming about.
