Hey gang! I’ve got a great guest blog post from Steve Thomas, a friend from Lynn Terry’s Elite Membership Forum. Please welcome him to the Marketers Mojo blog and as always leave your comments below!
Does positive thinking have anything to do with online marketing business? I suppose that it depends on whether or not you believe that positive thinking does anything at all. Here is my opinion; I think it does!
First let me define positive thinking.
Positive thinking is not about some wish it and it will happen mentality. It is about looking at the situation and thinking about it in such a way that positive results happen, even if the situation itself is not a positive one.
Can you stay positive and learn from the experience when your site crashes? Can you stay positive and figure out a way to profit when you aren’t making any sales? That’s positive thinking.
Why are you attempting to do online marketing?
If you are attempting to do online marketing so that you can get rich quick and become a beach bum on the French Riviera, then you may be a bit disappointed. Not that it can’t happen, but I think your motives are a bit off.
Those I know that are making a bit of money and could actually lie on that beach, don’t. They have a bigger plan. They are reaching as many people as they can with whatever their message or product is. They have a much more positive goal in mind than simply becoming rich. They want to provide for their families and reach out to others all at the same time. Why are you doing this again?
Do you believe you can do it?
I have known several people who attempted to do an online business and they failed quickly. They really didn’t believe that they could do it, and /or, they didn’t really believe that anyone could do it.
If you have no faith in yourself or the business you are trying to do, you have no chance of making it. You must believe that you are not only capable, but that you have something of value to sell or to say. Without that belief, you are doomed. Do you believe in yourself and your product?
Are you willing to work at it?
You must have a positive mind set about the work involved. Ask anyone who has made it online; when you first start out, there is a lot of work involved. If you are not positive, you will fold when the going gets tough. You have to have that survivor mentality!
What now?

Excellent post! I definitely believe that positive thinking helps in so many areas. I try to always look at the positive even when I do have techy issues ha ha There is something to learn from every struggle you might have and being positive just makes life better.
Lately I have struggled with it but have made major breakthroughs and positive thinking helped me get through it.

Thank you for your comment Angie!
You know techy issues is SUCH a good example. Some people look at technology for what it CAN’T do but if we look at the internet, software, etc for what it CAN do then we’ll find so many amazing resources that it can bend our minds, lol.
Negativity just gets you nothing but more negativity. yuck to that.
Hi Angela, I was able to follow you here because of your post from Debbie’s website. I am also on tweeter.
By the way, I agree with you that power of positive thinking helps us in many ways. It makes people’s life easier and even better.
