I ran across a very interesting quote the other day by Allen Says of the Warrior Forum:

Most Warriors already know everything they need to know to make great money on the internet, right now. Whether they do it or not is entirely up to them. It is most definitely in the slicksters benefit to keep you hanging on seeking the next big “secret” while the whole time they are doing what really makes money and has always made money:

1. Building Huge Lists
2. Creating Viral Systems
3. Doing JV’s
4. Running Affiliate Programs
5. Creating Information Books, Packages & Monthly Subscriptions

Look at what they are “doing” instead of what they are “saying” you should do…

No kidding.

Marketing (and making money) are two of the most emotional topics for any entrepreneur because they directly effect one’s livelihood and well-being. And man, do marketers ever THWART that emotion like crazy…

It’s so easy to get caught up in the BIG numbers you see on salesletters, or the incredible levels of income you’ll see advertised in screenshots and screen-capture videos. But what they DON’T show you is that those numbers are the result of months and sometimes even years of trial, error, and persistence.

Yes, success is easier to come by once you have a solid foundation of experience, leverage, a good reputation and money - but I’m willing to bet that they didn’t get there by buying someone else’s program, or “investing” in the latest hot product…

They became successful by doing research, creating a plan and then ACTING on it persistently until they started seeing results.

And when the results came in, they simply optimized things and ran with that initial momentum in order to MAXIMIZE what they were already doing. That gave them some ground to stand on, and they would’ve built their “empire” brick by brick.

So don’t be deceived into thinking that success - even success with JV’s - comes instantly. It can later on, but there is a learning curve attached to every level of business, Joint Ventures included.

Now, that’s a strange thing for me to say, isn’t it?

I mean, I’m the one who’s toting “Chris Rempel’s Instant Joint Venture Success System“ as my latest product.

Am I a hypocrite?

Well, I try not to be as much as humanly possible. The reason why I can label my course like that with confidence is because it literally is my blueprint for creating Joint Ventures, over and over again.

And it works great for me, and others who are at the STAGE in their business where JV’s are either currently, or will shortly be, a part of their marketing strategy.

(Think about that last sentence…)

For example, if you’re planning on starting up 6,000 adsense sites and making $0.47 a day with each of them and doing that whole thing - then investing in a product like mine would be INSANITY. It won’t help you whatsoever.

You have to understand that buying a marketing course - mine or otherwise - will ONLY benefit you if it’s going to directly benefit what you’re focusing on already. Whether that’s launching a product, finding partners for a co-project or making plans to become a JV broker - if it doesn’t fit directly into the direction you’re already headed - then it’s just going to be another expense.

(And a needless one, at that…)

However…

There is a severe danger in NOT being willing to accept (and eventually leverage) the advice and experience of other people that have already walked the path.

You see, when I first started out as an entrepreneur, I never used to buy info-products or marketing courses. Ever. I thought they were all scams, and even if they weren’t - I assumed that I was smarter than them already and that I’d figure it out on my own.

That attitude cost me over a year of wasted time - while living in total poverty. Time that could’ve been spent building a list. Time that could’ve been spent developing a product. Time that could’ve been spent building a business…

…instead of just wandering aimlessly and wasting both my own time and others’.

I honestly believe that if I had simply “sucked it up” and bought a simple $27 ebook or something about “How to Start and Grow an Internet Business” that covered the basics of list building, viral marketing and leverage - I would’ve been running a profitable business years ago - instead of struggling to make it “on my own”.

I’ve also LOST untold thousands because I was too stubborn to seek advice.

I had a site years ago that used to receive about 20,000 unique visitors a DAY - and the only thing I could think to do with it was to throw network CPM ads up on the page and make mere peanuts on the 100,000+ impressions I was receiving daily.

(If I’d have only built a list, developed products and leveraged my users… )

But I didn’t know any better because I didn’t have a successful model to follow that was in line with what I was already doing - which was starting an internet business…

So where are you at today?

If you’re already moving forward with a project and you’re serious about succeeding with it, then what specific barriers are you facing that you need to either deal with or overcome as quickly as possible?

I would encourage you to find others that have already “been there, done that” in regards to your specific objectives, and leverage their experience so as to ACCELERATE your success.

(Marketing products and business tutorials provide the absolute HIGHEST return on investment of any business product available - but only to those that actually act on what they receive and implement them directly into their existing strategy. )

BUT, if you’re still in the “discovery” stage - or if you’re just not sure what to do or where to start - then please keep your credit card in your wallet!

There is more than enough information available (freely available) on discussion forums, in articles and also just by simply asking people that are doing what you eventually want to do as well.

Once you’ve got a plan in place, THEN it’s time to start investing in the tools and knowledge that will accellerate your success and guide you on your way.

In closing, the reality of the matter is that while success does NOT come “instantly” when you’re just starting out - it can be accellerated IF you know what you want to accomplish, but you’re simply missing the “how”…

So instead of having marketers take advantage of your emotions and lack of experience, it’s time to be very selective and take advantage of THEM by investing ONLY in products that are LASER-TARGETED to what you’re already doing, or wanting to accomplish.

Beat them at their own “game”, and accelerate your success by being WILLING to seek out advice and help from those that have already been there.

Sincerely,

-Chris Rempel
