The Secret to Being Tenacious

By Mozell Baccouche


There has been plenty of buzz throughout the Internet marketing arena about tenacity. Those would like to discover how to remain motivated to keep going, even when things are hard. There are a lot of hurdles to face when you are starting out in the Internet marketing world and it can be hard to stick with your projects and keep working toward your goals. So just how can you accomplish that? Exactly how will you tap into your persistence and keep moving forward?

Try to find your inner doggedness. The majority of the time doggedness is something that is seen as a characteristic that has to be corrected or "worked on". When you work in online marketing and would like to keep up your persistence, however, stubbornness can be your greatest asset. Resolve that you are going to be a success and then simply refuse to resign on that objective. This is going to make it more effortless to continue. You'll find it much more effortless to overcome those hurdles. It's possible to make up your mind that you're just not giving up. If you can make up your mind that you aren't going to, for instance, ever eat a piece of broccoli again, you can decide that you are going to continue going after success.

Try tapping into your inner competitive spirit. Evidently this can only work if you are in reality a competitive person. If you are competitive by nature, one of the best ways to persevere and continue on when things are difficult is to pick an individual who has managed to do the things you want to accomplish and vow to do those things better than that individual has done them. Try turning your success into a contest and then do everything you can to be better than the person you would like to emulate. For people who love to compete, this is a fantastic way to persevere.

Count all of your blessings. Moving forward when things are difficult or there are many hurdles is one of the toughest things to do when you're working toward Internet marketing success. It isn't hard to start to look at all of those bad things as individual excuses for surrendering. When you start to feel like you're in rut, find the things that are working out for you. You may not be earning the hundreds and hundreds of dollars that you would like to earn daily but you have lots of wonderful contacts that you love talking with. The current economy may be getting in the way of your sales but your conversion rate might be really high and that means that your sales materials are effective. Add together these little things and they can really help you with your tenacity so that achieving your goals is easier.

Try not to worry about bigger things that you won't be able to control. Focus on what you are able to control. Know that you have the power to control the minor things. This can offer you a feeling of accomplishment that will keep you going when you desperately wish you could give up.

These motivational suggestions might appear a little weird. But the reality is that the the Internet marketing world requires a little bit of stubbornness, competition, etc. It's absolutely a wonderful thing to be able to think positively. Don't be anxious about it, you'll get there!
