Mindset Monday. As an affiliate, many things in your day-to-day business are outside your control (like Google's ever changing algorithm, for instance). But one of the biggest assets you have (and sometimes overlook) and something that IS within your control is your mindset! So today I have a couple great posts for you about leveraging that powerful asset.
One of the hardest things for some affiliates when beginning a new site, campaign or project, is simply getting started. It's easy to get into non-stop research mode and hit analysis paralysis. Many of us also have that little voice in our heads telling us this project is not worth it and won't work. So once again paralysis sets in and we sabotage ourselves before we even begin. The first post, by Josh Todd talks about his personal experience with analysis paralysis and how he overcomes it.
The second link is a podcast with Andrew Wee who talked with super affiliate Amit Mehta about removing barriers to success and how to reach success.
The Paralysis of Analysis "There are many pitfalls that one must overcome when trying to make a living as a self-employed affiliate. One of the toughest is conquering the little voice in your head. You know, the one that says, “What’s the point of designing that new website, it’s just going to fail anyway.” It is very good at talking you out of each and every good idea that you come up with before you even get started. To be successful in business, not just Affiliate Marketing but any business, you must conquer the paralysis of analysis."
