What are you willing to sacrifice?
13 February 2010 | Vadym
Sorry that I haven’t posted anything in a little while now, but I’ve been in a little bit of a rut.
That’s right! Even after 3 years of Internet marketing, I still have ruts. I still can’t concentrate some days. I still stall, and procrastinate.
I’ve been thinking for the past couple of days, reflecting on what I’ve achieved in IM, and what I still WANT to achieve.
I’ve also been thinking about what I’ve sacrificed to get where I am.
I’m talking girl friends, I’m talking friends, I’m talking a part of my school years that I should’ve been enjoying myself while I was sitting in front of the computer, learning a new source of traffic generation. I’m talking beaches, vacations, parties and just about everything you could do to relax.
I’ve made a lot of sacrifices… and hell, I haven’t even hit 20 yet.
And were these sacrifices worth it?
Simply put…
YES.
Because now, my life is beginning to shape EXACTLY the way I wanted it to.
My disposable income is flourishing. I have MORE time to do the things I enjoy, and to accomplish things that I want to do.
I am slowly achieving permanent FREEDOM, which is the one thing in the world that I want more than anything.
To be able to pick up and go on a vacation tomorrow. To see the new toy and grab it without thinking twice of it.
I’m getting exactly what I came into the Internet marketing game for.
Which brings me to my main point…
If you want a BETTER quality of life, and you’re determined that Internet marketing is the way you’re going to get it, don’t be afraid of work.
Don’t be afraid of your projects and don’t be afraid to fail.
Don’t be afraid to sacrifice a part of your life to improve it on such a large scale.
Because you’re going to do all of this any way… Why procrastinate, waste time, and achieve your goals 5 years later than you could.
Even in my young age I realize that we don’t stay young forever, and the more time we waste now, the less time we have to enjoy ourselves when we DO have the means to do it later.
If you’re willing to sacrifice something to better your life, spending hundreds of hours that you could be spending with your friends, family and beloved pets, you’re going to see results.
Now it’s only up to YOU to decide if the sacrifice is worth it.
