I don’t know about you but I have very positive and very negative days as I try to start out in Internet marketing.

Sometimes I say, “Yes I can do this.” Other times it’s, “Get real – get a real job!”

Actually I do have a job, which is precisely why I’m trying to get into Internet marketing. I work my tail off in my “real” job and have been for years. Guess what, no matter how much I earn I end up with just about enough to cover the bills and maybe save enough for one holiday a year. It’s been the same pattern, year after year.

In fact, maybe my lifestyle has declined recently as my pay has increased. I don’t know for sure, but it feels like I could do a lot more on a lot less a few years back. Or had more free time on my hands at least.

Anyway, I don’t see any future in working to make somebody else rich. Clear as day, there’s no future in that for me.

So what else can I do? Write a best-selling novel? Not my scene at all. Start a bricks and mortar business? No money and no desire to do that anyway.

The obvious answer is to leverage the amazing power and reach of the Internet to provide a valuable service to enough people so I can earn enough to quit my job. And then repeat the process so I can earn enough to live comfortably on my own terms.

Is this feasible? Certainly yes because other people (many other people) are doing it right now.

Is it feasible for me? Now there’s the question. Sometimes it seems perfectly possible, other times it’s pie in the sky.

So here’s what I did to answer this question once and for all. I wrote down a list of all the reasons why I worry I can’t succeed in this business.

Here it is:

1. Don’t know what to sell,
2. Don’t know how to sell,
3. Don’t have enough time,
4. I don’t like selling, it just feels wrong,
5. Everyone else says I’m dreaming,
6. Nobody will take me seriously,
7. It’s too risky, I need a job and income I can rely on,
8. It’s too complicated, I’ll never learn all I need to know to be successful,

That’s a pretty depressing list and if any of the items were true then I’d give up right now. But after I looked at the list and resolved to make an honest answer to each point I decided that negative thoughts about why you CAN’T succeed have no value whatsoever and need to be dispensed with at an early stage.

I’m going to write a post on each of the answers to each of these points to show you how I finally decided Internet marketing is the BEST and smartest option for me and why I no longer hold any doubts that (eventually) I’ll succeed.
