Does Your Motto Begin with “if Only”?
By Ron Thomas Enterprises

Are you engaged in internet marketing? If so, you know it can be very frustrating, especially in the midst of gurus shouting “I made 315 million dollars in 6 months.” (Yes, I saw a similar claim recently – that’s the GNP of a third world country and this guys still working, but, I digress).

In comparison to these guys, your disappointing site visits, hits, clicks, etc may be causing you to internalize your own personal motto. Do any of these sound familiar?

If only I had started sooner.
If only I had more time.
If only I had more money for advertising.
If only there weren’t some many technical hurdles.


“If only” is a lament similar to a way station. You’ve gotten off the train of progress to dwell on the absence of ideal conditions. While you whine, others embrace, even invite challenges to overcome. Check out successful, respected CEOs. They are not respected because the road was smooth and without obstacles, but rather because of their determination and ingenuity in surmounting challenges.

The internet is still the best vehicle to come down the pike for would-be small business owners. Below are just a few reasons to abandon those negative mottos and slogans:

If only I had started sooner – internet marketing success can be made in leaps and bounds. You can discover a method or technique that makes up for lost time if you persevere.

If only I had more time – Unlike manufacturing widgets, where 8 hours put in equals x number of widgets produced, on the internet, a little time employing the right techniques can produce great results.

If only I had more money for advertising – The amount of free and low-cost advertising alternatives on the internet is taken for granted. Ask your favorite television station, radio station or daily newspaper for free advertising and get escorted out of their office. Start small, test your advertising, and channel profits into more expensive advertising when you are ready for it.

If only there weren’t some many technical hurdles – The internet is crawling with free how-to information, as well as forums used by people more than willing to help you solve a variety of html roadblocks. Seek them out and take advantage of them.

In short, stop your pity party and get back on the train to success.
