Those who desire to earn a significant affiliate income oftentimes don't realize that there are actually two critical components.
First, and most obvious, is a solid business system, but I'll talk more about that in future articles.
What I want to focus on here is the psychology behind raking in a sizable and consistent affiliate income.
If you have found a solid business model, but still find yourself struggling with things like procrastination, lack of motivation and a measly little affiliate check, you're going to have to do one thing before your situation will change: You will have to work on yourself as hard, and with the same intensity that you've been desiring a successful affiliate income business.
I wish I could give you one thing you could do that would "fix" it all in one fell swoop-but I can't.
I will however, through this article, and a number of others in this series, give you what my I know to be the most effective strategies for making a breakthrough.
I'm about to reveal a method for getting to the next level of personal growth that is more useful than having a modern day Freud monkey with your mind for three years.
I must warn you though; it's not for the faint of heart.
Many people simply aren't willing to be this direct.
Here it is.
It's called the "I Hate Him/Her" exercise.
Write down the name of someone you detest; someone you cannot stand.
Don't hold back, let loose with "both barrels" and write down everything about them that makes you livid.
Take some time with this, and, because of the anger you may feel after just a few moments, you might want to do this in chunks.
Do some now, and then come back and do some more later on.
Now, the second half of this is the "I Like Him/Her" exercise.
Write down the name of someone you really like and admire; write down everything you find attractive or like about them.
Again, be thorough- take some time and be as complete as possible.
When you are finished with both lists, when it comes to becoming the master of YOU, you're holding the equivalent of gold in your hands.
Like it or not, the things you have written down that you don't like about someone else, are the very things you resent about yourself.
If you find yourself disagreeing with me, please know that you are right on track.
See, if you didn't push back against that thought, then you most likely wouldn't despise these behaviors in others.
The reason we condemn these actions in others is because it allows us to keep ourselves distracted from having to face these truths in our own life.
Likewise, the things you like the most in others, are likely the very behaviors, actions and traits that you take the most pride of in your own life.
Clearly, the list that allows you the biggest opportunity for clearing what you have perceived as obstacle in your life is the list about the people and behaviors you don't like.
However, a massive amount of growth can also come from recognizing your strengths, and then amplifying the power of your already effective traits and behaviors.
When you begin working through this exercise- provided you are working with a good business model for earning affiliate income- you'll watch your affiliate checks get larger each month.
