How Insecurity Will Bring Down Your Online Business

As an internet marketer there are a lot of mistakes that you can make and get away with. This is a good thing because we all make mistakes and none of us are perfect. But there is one mistake that you simply cannot make if you want to be a successful internet marketer. If you do, it will destroy your bottom line and sink your business. That great mistake is simply this: you cannot be ruled by insecurity. By this I mean, you can never be insecure - most especially when you're promoting your business online, or when you are interacting with your downline.

Most of us have been insecure at one time or another, but those who achieve success don't let insecurity rule them. Instead they fight through it until they gain confidence in what they're doing. Insecurity causes many problems for internet marketers. For example, if you're insecure:

1) You'll be less likely to put yourself in front of a camera and make videos or write articles
2) You'll never instill confidence in your downline and
3) You probably won't be an active prospector, resulting in lost opportunity and lost revenue.


The best way to combat insecurity is to have something good to say and to consistently put out useful content. You'll notice I say "consistently" because that is key. If you are not active then you are not really in the game. We all know that consistent action rules the day in internet marketing. Make sure you don't lose sight of this. Once you commit to consistent action and people begin to benefit from your content, more prospects will seek you out as a mentor. And when your downline begins to grow, you'll gain more confidence as a recruiter, mentor and team builder.

If you are new to the business, then the key for you is to not let your lack of experience lead to insecurity. I admit this can be difficult to do. My advice is to hit the ground running. Once you have something useful to say, do it and do it confidently. And remember, once you start building your own downline, you have to be aware that your teammates will face their own insecurities. Show them how to overcome their nervousness, and convey to them that their success depends on it. Beware that many new internet marketers want to hide the fact that their insecurity is causing their inactivity, so instead they point to procrastination as being their downfall. .

To Summarize

1) Don't let insecurity stop you from consistently putting out good content online.
2) By having something good to say, you will be more comfortable sharing it, and in turn you will gain confidence as a result.
3) People buy leaders, they don't buy businesses. If you're insecure, no one will want to join you. Be confident!



To Your Success,
