Motivational Thunking

My affiliate activities have been having a big sleep in a cave with a hibernating bear since some time in mid-December. I’ve found it nigh on impossible to get myself motivated again. My motivation has been at a low and my self-doubts have been on a high. With that in mind I’ve been finding some blog postings that relight my fire and thought I’d share them here for the benefit of anyone else hitting the winter slump.

Some Day Never Comes - John Chow. John tackles the topic of deadlines. If you don’t set deadlines on your projects they just drift and you never get round to turning them into realities.

Do You Think Like A Winner - Alan Johnson. Guest posting on John’s blog, Alan tells us how winners differ from losers and how to make your blog or website stand out from all the other also-rans.

Want to succeed? Get off your ass and work - Shoemoney. A guest post at Shoemoney.com tells it like it is - and like us procrastinators hate to hear because we know it’s right

You Will Not Make Money Online - 45n5.com. In this videoblog Mark tells us in his usual fast-talking, straight-to-the-point style why we’re all going to fail at this internet money making lark. 99% of people who try are going to fail, you need to really work hard to be in the other 1% and if you’re not prepared to put that work in you’re going to stay with the 99s.

Those certainly worked for me as I’ve started work on my first new website of the year. It’s very nearly February and 2008 has finally got started!

  1. Great collection of articles and I’m sure I should read them all…soon…ish.

    I recently became fulltime AM and I have noticed, this week in particular, that I seem to have ‘peaked’.
    I know there is a lot more money to be earnt and the opportunity is uncapped but I don’t seem to have any interest in striving for it.
    This is particularly weird when I originally got into AM for the ‘limitless’ income on offer to a motivated and educated individual which I was at the time!

    It’s good to read that this is an expected post Christmas ‘comedown’ and maybe I’ll get cracking again soon…ish.

  2. seeing that you posted this a couple of weeks ago, I was wondering if you have gotten back in the mindset to be a winner again? It sure would be good to see a fellow blogger to pick up the motivation again!

  3. Thanks for asking. Yes, I think I’m back on track now. I’ve got a new site which soft launched a couple of days ago. Once I’ve finished adding content and getting it indexed I’ll probably blog about here. Don’t want to do it too soon and give copycats a head start on me.

  4. Internet money these days is getting larger and larger.”-
