Never Stop Believing In Yourself

By Lee McIntyre | November 17, 2008

I was searching through an old PC this morning and came across the picture below…

It was taken in May 2007 and in my hand I had my first ever Clickbank cheque.

I was so excited to receive this that I just had to have myself photographed holding it before I ripped open the envolope. I was absolutely ecstatic!

It seems such a long time ago but I think the cheque was for a total of $300, and was the result of launching my Classroom Management ebook for the first time.

So why I am showing you this?

Well, when this photo was taken the act of earning $300 from Clickbank seemed equivalent to climbing Mount Everest. I didn’t think I’d ever be able to do this and I was simply amazed that it was possible to earn such amounts.

==> Three months later and I’d quit my day job.

==> Six months later and I’d recorded my first $20,000 month.

==> Sixteen months later and soon I hope to hit the $40,000 a month mark (I’m not there yet but will be soon).

When I held this cheque I didn’t even dare dream that any of this would be possible.

Seeing this picture again reminds me how people laughed when I told them I was going to sell information products online. How they scoffed when I explained how I would love to quit my day job and work from home…

Despite the challenge ahead I never gave up and I always believed.

Sometimes your biggest dreams can come true if you arm yourself with persistence, determination, and an unshakeable belief that you WILL succeed no matter what.

I believed in myself and magical things happened.

Do you believe in yourself? And if not, why not?

    Interesting you bring up this question, but before I get to that, nice picture! When I received my first cheque from ClickBank, for about $270, it was a GREAT feeling! - I felt like I’d achieved something, and could actually see that it was possible to make money online! Sadly I couldn’t get it uploaded, but that’s for another day!

    Now I admit it was a while ago now, but I remember talking to a good friend of mine (Randy Smith) on MSN, were he said something very similar, at least on the same wavelength as your talking about Lee.

    The long and the short of it, is that I’m quite possibly scared of my own success! I mean, I have goals, and some of the REALLY more personal than others, and I do believe in my success but I don’t if that makes any sense?!

    (Well, you did ask!) LOL

    Thanks
    Mark

    Thanks for the look back, Lee.

    I’ve been following your efforts for a while now and while I haven’t been able to duplicate your success, I will sometime soon…I know it!

    I know I’m going to be successful not because I’ve got great writing talents (I can type 80 wpm…but the ideas I have don’t come out as quickly) or that I bought some experts ebook/system/video series (not that I don’t mind your info…you’re the only one who hasn’t messed with me so far).

    I know I’ll be successful because of 1) I continue working on my success daily, 2) I’m always willing to hear criticism, and 3) I know in my heart that there is something better than this hum drum work existence.

    I was just reading your “500 Dollars Only” ebook again for the umpteenth time and I always love reading about being focused on your goals. I just watched the movie “Rudy” again and it totally reinforced the idea that your goals are in reach if you work toward them.

    Love the info. Keep it up!

    Hi Lee

    Those WERE the days eh?

    I remember too when I got my first Clickbank cheque it was around $158.00 (and what a feeling that was!)

    Fast forward over 1 year and just this week alone I have received over $1700 in direct payments now from Clickbank and it seems worlds apart!

    The separating factor?

    MOMENTUM, DRIVE, WANT, AND SHEER SELF BELIEF…

    You NEED all the qualities you mention in order to be successful.

    I personally haven’t achieved quite the RAPID success you have (very few “non-guru” made marketers have) - look at John Thornhill as a good example.

    John personifies your point here as it took his 4 years (approx) to make it BIG. 4 years of building, driving and advancing his business and never quitting.

    …and I too am WELL on the way and it is just a matter of time.

    …and this is a great achievement for me as you know Lee. Plus I WILL NEVER EVER quit (not until the first million rolls in!)

    Driving your business builds momentum and ensures you don’t get lazy and misalign yourself with your goals…

    So enough of this comment, I got a few phone calls to make ;)

    To your continued success bro!

    Ray

    Napoloen Hill’s motivational classic Think and Grow Rich mentions something that I truly believe. What ever your mind can conceive and believes, you can achieve. It’s that belief in your idea that will see you through.
    Happy hunting.
