When you first launch your career as an online marketer, you’re probably brimming with optimism. You’ve seen what can be accomplished through hard work and determination and what others have achieved in terms of personal satisfaction and monetary gain.
You have no doubt you can enjoy the same. But some people quickly allow negativity to take root and their once optimistic outlook turns dark and hopeless. Negativity can hurt your progress because you will always be down on yourself and others.
That doesn’t help you succeed or help you guide your audience to success with their goals. You have to change the wording you’re using during moments of pessimism. For example, you probably talk about what you can’t do or what you should have done.
Turn that wording into positive verbiage. Be honest about what you can and can’t do and don’t over dramatize the situation. Maybe the truth is you could do it, but you feel intimidated by it or the process is overwhelming.
If you should have done something, ask yourself if it’s too late and if it’s not, get it done. If you don’t believe in yourself, how can your audience believe in you as a niche leader? The customers will sense your hesitation and pessimism and turn to someone else who exudes an optimistic and positive point of view.
You may want to enlist the use of positive affirmations or the law of attraction. Or, choose another type of motivation to help keep you inspired. You may have a favorite mentor who can help power you through to success during times when your outlook has gone dark.
There is no one in this business who will boost your morale for you. You may be inspired by a few people, but it’s different than a company that provides you with a team to help support you.
You have to learn to do this for yourself. That’s probably one of the hardest things to do in a career where there are many ups and downs. But if you can learn to push through these moments, you’ll be pleased with what you can accomplish in life.
Not only will your pessimism hurt your own level of success, but it will impact those around you. You will worry your family and friends, dampen the spirits of your target audience, and cause your colleagues in this industry to avoid you as they try to keep their own positive mindset intact.
