Online Marketing Tips Podcast: Doing What It Takes

Doing What It TakesDoing What It Takes for Online Entrepreneurs

This most recent podcast is a discussion of doing what it takes to be successful in business and in life. This conversation comes from my upcoming book, entitled Doing What It Takes. Here are some of the points I explain in great detail:

  • Take full responsibility for everything that happens in your life. This was a big one for me, as I was coming from the “victim” mentality for so many years. To finally embrace the belief that I had been and continue to be responsible for everything in my life rattled my core values and beliefs in a life altering way.
  • Feel the fear and do it anyway. Now this is the title of an excellent book first published in 1987 by Susan Jeffers, and the concept would be expanded upon by Shad Helmstetter, in his book What To Say When You Talk To Yourself a few years later. For years I believed that if you were honestly afraid of something you had two choices. One was to get as far away from it as possible and the other was to grit your teeth, squint your eyes, and try to get it over with as quickly as possible. Now I choose to face the fear, verbalize what I am feeling internally, move towards and through the experience, and observe the shift that occurs as I get closer to it becoming part of who I am.
  • Be willing to die for the truth. This comes from an inspirational talk by actor and producer Will Smith where he discusses how no one could ever surpass him in a treadmill competition because he would be willing to drop dead of a heart attack rather than to jump off while the other person is still on the machine. Now this may sound very dramatic, but the point is a valid one.
  • Get ready to do the work and make things happen. When the film The Secret was released in 2006 I was at the very beginning of my journey as an online entrepreneur. I absolutely adored the idea of being able to think about what I wanted in my life and to know it was on its way to my doorstep. Then the reality set in that I had to actually take massive action and I loved that concept even more. Why? Because I knew that few people would be willing to do the work it would take for them to achieve even the smallest of their goals. Do the work, stay focused and productive, and you will be far ahead of almost everyone else.
  • Abandon the notion of needing to know all of the steps and pieces up front before you can surge forward. You only need to know the relevant and tangible pieces of any project at the very beginning. This applies to most things in life.
  • Know that the resistance is coming. Accept and embrace this as a part of the process of changing your life and becoming a successful entrepreneur. This feeling is more than likely going to be a physical one, so you’ll have to experience the discomfort a few times before recognizing it for what it is. For me, it’s a feeling deep in the pit of my stomach. In the beginning I thought I was either hungry or had a stomach ache. Once I identified it as resistance to change or action related to my business I simply acknowledged it and moved on.
  • “Not feeling like it” will never be a reason not to accomplish even the smallest task or goal. When I first heard others saying they did not do what they had intended to do or what was expected of them because they just didn’t feel like doing it I was dumbstruck. If you find yourself feeling this way, simply give it a moment and do it anyway. When I need to write a new sales letter for a product or training course or live event I usually don’t feel like doing it, but that has never stopped me from completing the task at hand and getting on with it.
  • There probably isn’t a blueprint for exactly what you wish to achieve as an entrepreneur. Accept and embrace this as a challenge to develop your own blueprint over time as you learn more, implement what you are learning, and experience various levels of success.

Think about each of these points, listen to the podcast, and then comment below. I would love to hear your thoughts on these ideas and concepts.

    Excellent points Connie. I read Susan Jeffers book and found it very helpful. I don’t think we can completely eliminate fear or hide or run from it for long. It’s in our thoughts and with us always but that is a good thing. It protects us in certain situations and is the warning sign in others that we are trying something new, and as you suggest, we need to face it and move forward.

    It’s funny, but I think the more you see it in business as a sign of resistance the more you realize that if you don’t have any fear you are too comfortable where you are and not progressing. Complacency is the kiss of death.

      So true, Kit. When I’m too comfortable my business is definitely stagnating. Thanks so much for your well thought out and worded comment.

    Thank you for the wonderful post Connie. Often, it seems that the hardest part of doing what it takes is simply getting started, putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward just a tiny bit. Then you do it again, and again, and again.

    Sometimes it’s dark ahead and you don’t see the path to the end. But each time you move a step forward the path is lighted a little further.

    I love Ralph Waldo Emerson’s advice: “That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.” Great post. Steve

      Steve – you make some excellent points here, and many will resonate with your comment. Emerson’s quote is apropos and makes me think back to when I was writing my first book during 2010. I can still remember how challenging it was and now I’m working on my fourteenth book!
