The Learning Curve in IM

This post is about the journey through the land of Internet marketing. There is no doubt about, it can be  a very exiting but also very heartbreaking experience. The learning curve is steep and there are many skills sets to master, the reward seems miles away and you get tired, oh so tired.. and frustrated, very frustrated….on the way.

In my experience, you come to a point where you give up…. you simply throw in the towel and give up… After this phase you might even come back and try again. With all you previous experiences in your backpack, you know what to do… you think… and then you hit the wall once more…. Why, why, why don’t things go your way… what are you doing wrong… and you give up again. This may even take place several times… it is heartbreaking to watch.

Finally you reach a point where you quit for good…. you realize that this is not for you. Even though you know how to setup word press blogs, autoresponders, signup as an affiliate, use advanced software and so on… you simply cant make it.

This is a quiet place to be… now stress, no pressure, just silence…

And then it happens. It might not happen right away, maybe first after a few months or even a year. But it happens. You finally realize what all this learning was good for. It finally makes sense to you. It might not look like you thought it would. You might not even realize right away that your learning has paid off… But when you do, you get all exited and filled with such positive energy. There is a higher meaning after all!

For me it was the perfect job offer.

I responded to a job ad the night before the deadline, and got the job the day after!

The job was for a PA – who was a woman with marketing, technical and media skills – who could work in a structured way from home. Hds to be positive towards the new feminine paradigm and be able to offer great customer service.

This was me! – I realized the reason I started leaning all of this IM was number 1: I love this stuff, number 2: I wanted to work from home… and I thought I needed to start my own business to do that…. Now I did not have to. And this job could actually give me something that having my own company could not… Security… money wise I mean.

Now I have it all!

A job I love, great money, security, really over-the-top boss, I work from home, I structure my own time, I learn, I teach, I make a difference, I have meaning – Life is good!

I write this to you – to inspire you on your journey, to give you hope and to make you see that the universe has a way of giving us what we don’t even realize we need.

Enjoy your journey!
