Hi everyone,
Success is not a one time event, it's what you do steadily and consistantly over time and towards meaningfull goals.
Also, trying and experimenting in this industry is part of being successfull. There is no experience acquisition of this industry if you don't try. You can get lots of advises but remember one of my favorite quotes:
****
Experience is what you get when you don't listen to advise. Advise is what you give once you have experience.
****
Everyday, I write what I will do, even one week in advance. For example:
-I will post 5 times in forums today.
-Next Thursday, I will publish an article on a particular topic.
-I will update my blog and ping it.
-I will submit my link to 10 new directories this Friday.
-Etc.
And when your goals are written like this, you can cross them after your day and then you start to feel a sense of accomplishment and proudness in what you do. That's a way I encourage myself because I feel I do something and I move forward my business, everyday, step-by-step and rock by rock.
Also, listen to an audio about motivation once a week, it helps to get you encouraged as well or read articles about motivation and personal development.
Here a 10 minutes video that also encourage (boost) me a lot:

When you feel discouraged, listen to it, that's what I do in these moments.
