When I started my journey from being a shy fearful women to loving myself one of the places I learnt the most from was an organization called Landmark Education.

They teach the message "anything you want for yourself and your life is possible"

During my time with Landmark people would join expecting the COURSE to produce results for them. They would join with the mindset of "this better work" and if in their perspective it didn't some how it was the fault of the course. The course doesn't work! Even though people had produced amazing results from being there.

When you put all the emphasis on a course working for you then you put all the power in the hands of information.

Of something that isn't real! That doesn't mean you shouldn't expect results from anything you invest in, you always should, but only if you know you have followed EVERYTHING and done all the work you were told to do.

A book, an eCourse, a coaching program cannot GUARANTEE your results. Only you can do that and you do that by doing the work needed.

Right now I am on a coaching program that cost $1,300 for 8 weeks and I have not watched as many videos or done as much work as I should have by now so I am behind. Which means I am not experiencing the best results that I could be at this stage. Is that the fault of the course... not at all!

So I could leave because I am still in my guarantee period and say the course doesn't work or I can add reminders in outlook, switch everything off to focus on the videos, take action on what I learnt (which is what I have been doing this week!).

Life will always be there to get in the way if you allow it.

My online community magazine created by Penny Haynes is thriving and I love it. http://www.womeninternetmarketers.tv

As a business it is awesome and I highly recommend it, but when you look at the other magazine owners they have done hardly anything about getting theirs up and running.

Time and other factors are their reasons. So people look at the other magazines and use that as a reason not to start their own. Their way of thinking is "well if they are not doing anything with it then I probably won't be able to"

How did we end up with such a crazy way of thinking?

If you start a magazine and are determined to build it then you will DESPITE everyone else not building theirs. I did!

Basing your decision on that is not sound business sense.

Yes it's nice to see the other magazines thriving but even if they all were it does not guarantee that yours will!

So please, please, please, take a look at your mindset when it comes to achieving what you want to achieve. Take the power out of the hands of the "thing" - ebook, program, business venture - and place it firming in your own hands because that is the only place it belongs.

As someone who has successfully created a living from the internet people come to me for help (always wanting it free of course) and when I tell them... sure I'll help you.... just spend the time researching your market, write a 7 part eCourse and 30 articles just for starters..... I never hear from 98% of them again.

They fall down at the research stage because they don't want to do it. I get replies like "Oh! I didn't think I would have to do all that"

They want a result but are not willing to do the work needed to get it. No coach, no matter how much you invest in them will work if you do not take FULL responsibility for getting the results you want.

This is why I never read testimonials... they are used as a marketing ploy because people buy into the mentality of "if it works for her it must work for me"

NO, NO, NO .... It will work for you if you are willing to put in the work to make it work for you... END OF!

It helps to give you an idea of whether something will work by looking at the results others have produced. I understand that so please "hear" me when I say, this is not about that.

This is about your willingness to do what is necessary to succeed and about how much you place responsibiilty for something working into the hands of the the "thing" rather than in your own.

I am producing amazing results with a new affiliate program and I tell people that, but joining just because of that is not good enough, you are not me, you need to look through the whole program, see what's on offer and see whether you can make it work.
