This is a blog post written by Chris Rempel, aka The Lazy Marketer which I think is relevant to most of us who are starting an online business.

“My aim in this blog post is to try and show you the reality of why so many people fail, even though they’re busting their ass for hours on end, day after day.

This isn’t a preach-fest, nor is it some obscure new-age theory. Furthermore, it’s not exclusive to newbies. We ALL “suffer” from these symptoms from time to time, no matter how experienced.

But this is especially important for beginners, as well as anyone who’s never seen any kind of REAL results from this business. If you read this and actually take it to heart (and take action) – I promise you this – 2010 will be drastically different for you…

It drives me NUTS when I get emails from people who I know are honestly giving this their best shot within the context of their abilities and situation – and I know instantly based on the types of questions they’re asking (or whatever) that they don’t have a chance in hell.

And of course – I try to set them straight, put them on the right path.

But their mindset and “what they’ve learned” blocks it out. The wheat gets lost among the chaff, and it all becomes a big, confusing (disappointing) mess.

Which is truly sad.

Because the real way to success in this industry is far, far easier and simpler than most think. And that “way” will become clear to you as I go through the following 3 “failure symptoms”… 3 Symptoms of a Marketer Who’s Destined for Failure: Read the rest of this entry
