13. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14

For those who have no marketing experience
whatsoever, it is sometimes easy to be fooled
by some of the extravagant claims you see in
the affiliate marketing world. You know, those
platforms that suggest that you can retire in
eight weeks or that you can earn thousands
just by sending out an email.

In the real world, it takes a bit of time to build a
legitimate business. That means that the
proprietor must take the time to understand
fully her/his business and must take the time
to engage with prospective customers, develop
those potential relationships and build some
trust in those prospective customers. So a little
perspective comes in handy, especially when
those challenges emerge that every business
owner faces.

Keeping things in perspective means that a little
patience is also required. Remember that Rome
was not built in a day. Success does not come
overnight.

That leads us to the third "P" in the title. You must
be persistent if you are to succeed. We all make
mistakes and those mistakes are usually our
best teachers. But if you persist, you will learn
from those mistakes and will, eventually,
overcome.

Recent studies have discovered that chronic
pain such as back pain, Fibromyalgia, neck
pain, and headaches are often not structurally
caused, but occur due to psychophysiologic
processes.

Non-structural chronic pain has over the years gone by many names – tension myoneural syndrome (TMS), mind-body syndrome, psychophysiologic disorder, psychosomatic pain, somatoform disorder, somatic symptom disorder and neuroplastic pain. Most people diagnosed with one of these conditions worry their pain is all in their head. However, studies have found that pain with no structural cause is real and occurs in the brain.

This is nothing new. The ancients realized that
there was a close connection between body,
mind and spirit. Meditation has been used to
heal the body by practitioners like Dr. Joe
Dispenza and others.

If you, or someone you know, suffers from
chronic pain or any of the other conditions
mentioned herein, here's the link to a clinic
called Pain Psychotherapy Canada to learn more.

Or, google Dr. Joe Dispenza to learn more
about the fascinating healing work being
done by him and his team.

The hippies in the 1970's began to ask themselves
this question but the search for self really goes
back to the beginning of time. People seek to
know who they are in order to give meaning to
their purpose here on earth.

Teachers of truth point to the presence and
power that dwells within each and every one of
us. When you begin to realize that the source
of all things can be found within, you also begin
to realize the extent of your personal power.





When you begin to connect with "source"
you will begin to resonate, appreciate and
understand the teaching
set out in Matthew 21:22 "whatsoever ye
shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

This phrase gained in popularity as the freedom
movement began to pick up momentum. The
deep state's plan was to scare everyone into
staying at home, staying away from one another
and, of course, taking the poison shot. To avoid
falling into this trap, one had to have faith
that the immune system would protect from
the 'sickness' that was, hour by hour, pounded
into our brains by the mainstream media.
The words of Psalm 91 were, and are, a great
comfort in this regard.

The phrase, faith over fear is applicable
in other arena's as well, including business!
Once you have a product or service and a good
business plan you must move forward in faith.
You must have faith and believe in yourself and
in the wisdom of your plan.

HE WHO HESITATES IS LOST - "Swift and resolute
action leads to success; self-doubt is a prelude
to disaster." This proverb goes back to 'Cato' by
English essayist and poet Joseph Addison.

Many affiliate marketing sites can be joined for
free. It gives the site an easy entry point. But
don't get caught in the 'free' mode for too long.
Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Ask anyone who owns a 'brick and mortar'
business. They will tell you that they have rent
or a mortgage to pay on their physical space,
municipal taxes, insurance, utilities, supplies,
wages, maintenance expense. In most cases,
these expenses amount to many thousands of
dollars on a yearly basis.





Business owners know that you have to
spend money if you ever hope to make
money. This should not be forgotten by
affiliate marketers. If you aren't investing
some money in your business and in
yourself on a monthly basis, then I
would say that, well, if you think you
are in business then you are probably
just fooling yourself.

My point is that, as many experienced
marketers know, you will expand your
reach immensely and your life will get
a little easier if you invest in at least two
or three good traffic sources on a
monthly basis.






And don't forget to invest a little in
yourself each month. Most experts
in personal development will tell you
that. Learn something new that you
can pass on to others. In this way,
you increase the amount of value
that you can offer to others and, as many
already know, in that way you attract
others to you. When people are
attracted to you, your income will
follow suit.

Did you know that there are really only
two paths in life? What do I mean?
Well, if you are the type of person who
often thinks 'why do I never get any
good breaks?' Well, if that's you, you
will likely never get any good breaks in
life. On the other hand, if you think
thoughts such as "I'm blessed", "I'm
prosperous" or "I live the abundant life",
then you are likely to be blessed,
prosperous and abundant. As the
great American philosopher Ralph
Waldo Emerson said "a man becomes
what he thinks about all day long".
Which path are you on?

I believe that success in any endeavor
can only come through focus. In other
words, you must give your full and
undivided attention to the task at
hand. You must avoid distractions.
Distractions serve only to water down
the attention that should be devoted
to your main goal. Focus requires
that you devote energy and determination
to the task on which you are focused.
Learn to focus. You will quickly begin to
see that the fruits of your labor begin to multiply.

In an earlier blogpost, the topic for
discussion was commitment. You will
not succeed in life if you are not
committed. Commitment provides
you with the vision you need to succeed.
Commitment keeps you on track.
When you are committed, the
determination to succeed permeates
your very soul. You have the motivation
you need to circumvent all obstacles.
You keep going when others would
have quit. If you are not committed
to a particular goal, my advice is don't
start! If you are not committed, you
will likely waste a lot of time and
resources for, if you are not committed,
the chances of your success are not
high in my view. Accordingly, make
the decision. Commit. If you cannot
commit, then do not start until you are.
