If you read on this post, you might jump off the roof! DON’T READ IT!

I told you not to read it, but you just had to do it. Whatever happens as a result is not my fault, lol.

Do you ever doubt yourself? Do you ever feel as if you cannot succeed? Do you ever feel as if no matter what you do, you will result in failure? Do you ever get depressed?

If you have blood running through your veins, I’m sure that you have experienced some of those things. What I’m about to share with you is not something I’m proud of, but it IS something that illustrates a point. I can remember a day, back in college, when things weren’t going well for me at all. I didn’t really have money to pay my bills, because I had made some stupid decisions (which I will save for another post). I was having a rough time, and I was depressed. It seemed as if everything was just going terribly wrong.

I remember my lowest point during that time-period. I was driving my little “93 Ford Escort, focusing on how Sucky my life was. You know . . . the pity party that we throw ourselves every so often. In my mind everything was just going wrong. There was snow and ice on the road and I lost control. It was as if it was slow motion. I could see myself going off the road and I remember thinking to myself “Well this makes sense since my life sucked!” (I know, I know, it sounds depressing, but this is what was happening, so I’m just being real). What made the entire situation much worse was the fact that all of my roommates (except for my brother) were also depressed.

Well one day, this all changed. One of my roommates had a bright idea. He had the answer to our depression problem, and it was fairly “simple”. Are you ready for this one? Ok, here goes. The simple step we had to take in order for everything to get much better was that we all needed to climb on top of the roof, and then jump off. Yes, that’s what I said. If we jumped off the roof, all of our problems would be solved and the world would be a better place.

What was surprising about this was not that it was even mentioned. The surprising part was that for some strange reason, it made sense to all of us roommates. Now bare with me. There’s a point coming . . .

So off we went. All 4 of us (including my brother who wasn’t depressed). We climbed to the top and jumped off one at a time. Can you guess what happened afterward? WE WERE NO LONGER DEPRESSED! Well, my brother sprained his angle and wasn’t too happy, but the point is that we were no longer depressed!

So What does that have to do with making money

That’s a very good question, and my answer is very simple. You see, the action of jumping off the roof had nothing therapeutic to it. However, there was a mindset change that happened that made all the difference. I had attributed no longer being depressed to an action, but it was all in my mind.
The same way I was holding myself back from being happy, it’s just as easy to hold yourself back from being successful. The more I speak to people who are extremely successful online, the more I see that their success didn’t start by what they did. It began with a change in mindset.

Do you see yourself as someone who will be an online success? Do you see yourself as who you want to be? Or are you filled with doubts about your ability, whether you can learn everything that needs to be learned, or whether you possess the skill to be a successful entrepreneur? If you have these doubts, I need for you to do me a favor. NO, do NOT jump off the roof. That’s just DUMB! However, I want you to do the mindset-equivalent. Take a leap of faith. Believe in yourself, because if you don’t, nobody will.

I Believe in you

The unfortunate fact is that most of the people who attempt to make money online will never reach a point of online success that they are comfortable with. However, that does NOT have to be you! I TRULY believe that if YOU put YOUR mind to it, you can accomplish some amazing things. Change your mindset and believe in yourself. Then do whatever it takes for you to reach your goals.
