Why your skill set may not be your most important asset for online success:

Arguably considered to be the most grueling physical endurance race on the planet, this course consists of a 2.4 mile swim in cold ocean water, followed directly by a grueling 112 miles non-stop bicycle race in extremely windy conditions, to be ended by a devastating 26.2 miles marathon in blistering heat through one of earth’s most hostile terrains.

And if the inhuman physical conditions combined with strict time frames in which to finish each aspect of the race won’t push you to the very core of your being, the mental insanity you are sure to encounter, probably will.

Indeed, despite one year of daily, extensive, pre-training to get into the physical and mental sublime shape required to compete in this demanding event, all 1000 plus participants will tell you that nothing, absolutely nothing will or can prepare you for the pain, the anguish and the inner hurt (physically and emotionally) you experience when competing in this race.

Despite this seemingly impossible to conquer feat almost all of those who start the race, finish it within the allocated time. Even more amazing is that only a hand full are professional athletes. The majority is made up of amputees, cancer survivors, stroke victims, bankers, lawyers, housewives, fathers, daughters, factory workers, sons, and everyone else in between.

Ordinary folks who, on a day to day basis, only participate in sports or physical activities on a strictly recreational basis. Yet these common individuals, each with his/her own reason for wanting to finish the race, endure hardships most of us can’t imagine or would ever subject ourselves to.

And yet the annual Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon World Championship has more than its fair share of people succeeding against all odds. Those that cross the finish line, earn the distinguished title of “ironman” and with it, gained life-long bragging rights.

These individuals partake in this event because of an undying flame burning intently inside of them. Their passion, their desire to finish this race, to overcome and succeed, is what allows them to endure till the end.

Even if that means walking instead of running or stumbling along instead of walking … crawling if they must .. by whatever means needed, they WILL cross that finish line.

Is your inner flame to be successful online burning that strong? Do you have that intense passion and unquenchable desire to succeed? Are you willing to do, day after day, whatever it takes, regardless of the few strides you gain, or how long it takes to reach your goal?

Do you go about achieving your success with doubt in your heart, complaining and whining, not willing to take that extra step as soon as things don’t go as planned?

Or … are you like an ironman who lives by only one code: “IMPOSSIBLE!” … Indeed, to be that champion you so hunger for you must at all times believe that,you really can succeed.  To reach your goal, you must have the mindset, attitude and conviction of a winner.  Anything less just isn’t good enough if you want to cross your finish line.

Like an ironman, you must believe with every fiber of your being, that you are a winner when you say: “I  M  POSSIBLE!”   Only then shall you succeed in your quest to be an successful internet marketer.
