This week I touch on a sensitive topic. Quitting. How do you know if it is time to move onto something else and how do you know if you are just about to succeed and you are one step away from success? Surprisingly, the answer is not at the end….it is at the beginning.
To find out more, watch this quick video in this week’s episode of Wonderful Web TV. Your Monday dose of Motivation, Mindset and Marketing.
I’d love to hear your comments and any tips you’d like to share. Share your thoughts below. I’ll come back and join in the conversation.
Cheers
Janet

I agree it’s important to work the plan, review it and revise it. It can be hard to know when to give up and can be very discouraging when all the spruikers talk of the 10s of $1000s or even hundreds of $1000s they make from a single ebook.
I always laugh when people talk about being an overnight success. Marketing an ebook is hard work and rarely happens instantly. I remember a recording artist being interviewed about becoming an overnight success. I can’t remember who it was but he snorted and said he was a 17 year overnight success.
I think you need a plan that covers off everything from production to marketing to maintaining the marketing funnel, and it’s good to bounce the ideas off a mentor or even sometimes to talk to someone outside of online marketing because they ask “dumb” questions that make you question your assumptions and to stop and think about what you’re doing.
I think it’s time to quit when you have truly exhausted every option and that it’s a good idea to take advice before quitting. Maybe changing the title of your website or product will help you make a breakthrough, or targeting a new market, changing your sales copy, etc.

I was ready to quit in 2007 after being online and not making much money. Instead, I started attending live events – I even met you at one in Los Angeles in the fall of 2008 – and people began to recognize that I did have something special to share. I’ve gone on to be wildly successful and continue to work my plan and build relationships with people around the world.

Great video Janet … and very relevant
… I wanted to share my story about having a plan. I was wanting to do an ebook – I spent 5 months researching – and no I didn’t have a plan! I created a 30 day plan – stuck to my plan (in fact, I wouldn’t go to sleep at night if I hadn’t finished what I had said I would do in my plan). Here’s what happened. I wrote 10 healing meditations, found a recording studio, recorded the meditations, had them sound engineered, digitally mastered, wrote an ebook, wrote 4 bonuses, outsourced the sales letter – and had it all finished in 30 days. It took 30 days to get my website built – and I made my first sale overnight (and it wasn’t to a friend!). I was delighted. SO … the plan definitely works.
Hi Janet,
Great topic. Being and ESTJ type person I love to work to plan!!.
Big question is: “Other than money flowing freely into your bank account what are some good indicators that you are ‘on the cusp’ or not too far away from success?”
Perhaps everyone might like to share their experiences here?
Cheers, Tanya
That’s a good question Tanya. It’s hard to know when you’re on the ‘cusp’ of success. It would be a shame to quit just before a potential breakthrough. Sometimes I find my intution lets me know to push on. Does anyone else have any tips?
