System Reset
Posted on Dec.13, 2008, under New Rich Thoughts
This week was very difficult for me. It was more difficult to me than I thought it will. I work a lot, about 12 hours a day, mostly in affiliate marketing. I am having a hard time managing my time. I feel each minute is crucial. It can be a minute of success or failure, profit or loss. I need to think what to do with my time. Will it be creating a new Adwords campaign? Selling on ebay? Email marketing? Programing? Or reading blogs? Studying?
What would it be… What will have the most positive outcome?
This week I didn’t had any income, except of the Old Coins Cashflow. I tried to take advantage of the Christmas and created a special campaign for that, it didn’t succeed well… I will uncover it in a later post.
Generally I had only two sales from my affiliate marketing efforts. I felt disappointment this week and it wasn’t easy for me. I expected more from myself…
So this weekend I invited myself to a conversation with me:
Me: “Why the hell are you feeling so bad?”
Myself: “You know, I consider myself as a talented creative person. I was sure it will be easier for me. Why I do not succeed, why???”
Me: “Godaam you! You only started walking on this path! Less than a month! Be patient! You are expecting immediate success but it doesn’t work like this…”
Myself: “You are right… Also I feel I don’t have enough time. I sit in front of the computer all day long and I never accomplish everything I want for the day”
Me: “How many things one person can do in a day? You try to do: affiliate marketing, ebay, adsense, mail marketing, freelance jobs, create websites, read books, go to courses, practice Yoga, write a blog… Any one of those can be a full time work… Let go… Try to do less but better… Relax…”
And the chat went on and on…
So this weekend I am doing a system rest. Tommorow is a new week. I will relax, take everything more slowly and let go of exaggerated expecations from myself.
I believe everyone have difficulties of this kind. I will be happy to hear yours

Welcome to the club buddy
I’ve started blogging a month back expecting to see hit rate close to 2000, with atleast 500 of them clicking ads everyday. I’d be lucky to see 20 and get 2 of them to click my ads LOL.
But you know, I am damm sure folks with perseverance , determination would hit it Big.
By the way it would be great if you happen to visit my blog and click on a few ads

I can totally relate to what you just wrote as I am having that same conversation with myself too! lol! But the main thing that keeps shining out loud is the word persistence. Time is also very valuable and it’s amazing how each minute of each day is either squeezed for every second of it, or simply wasted lost in thought. (or blog reply’s!! Haha)
Well, keep me posted on your progress and thanks for the youtube post on advanced bid management. Very helpful
