A Secret To Extraordinary Accomplishments

I sat watching a documentary on U.S. Navy SEAL Team Training on the local exercise channel. It showed young men, mostly in their early 20's, enduring grueling ocean swims in near-freezing water. It showed these same young men forced to swim underwater (holding their breaths) until a major percentage of them passed out and had to be rescued by their instructors. It showed weeks of grueling training in which ordinary men are transformed into incredible machines with wills of steel and unshakable discipline.

Sitting... transfixed, and marveling at what these young men were able to accomplish, I saw the one missing element that most online business people are missing. I saw an ingredient that if more of them harnessed it, they would be able to accomplish things "in their world" as magnificent. That one secret ingredient is teamwork. It was the group cohesiveness, and the fact that they were all working for a common purpose that allowed the SEAL Team trainees to accomplish what they would not normally be able to do.

Enter the realm of the online entrepreneur. He sits at his computer, researching, writing and testing ads, tweaking his webpages in an effort to achieve greater search engine ranking, and doing a dozen other chores. Many of these online entrepreneurs do this all alone. They attempt the monumental... to build a six or even seven figure income while operating in a vacuum.

Step back and observe the Internet marketer earning several hundred thousand to several million dollars per year. He doesn't operate in a vacuum. I know! I lived among and studied these people, and in the process became one of them.

Let me emphasize what you may not be noticing on a conscious level:

• Successful Internet marketers all have mentors. Actually many of them mentor each other. They don't fear sharing things they've learned through trial and error with those who will share back with them. They all "cooperate and graduate." They don't have the "scarcity mentality." They know that through cooperation the pie actually gets bigger so they each get a bigger piece.
  

• Successful Internet marketers often have coaches, or managers. They do this for the same reason that successful athletes, politicians and celebrities all have coaches or managers. They know that others can often step back and observe what's happening in their lives more objectively, and then make sure that they're only doing things that will move them towards an identified goal. These coaches will push them and challenge them to do more than they would probably do on their own.
  

• Successful Internet marketers have formal and informal brainstorming or masterminding networks. Napoleon Hill, in "Think And Grow Rich," pointed out that this was a common trait among the millionaires that he studied too. Put several people together who have a common interest or goal and it's a natural breeding ground for breakthrough ideas. The masterminding can be long distance, via conference calls, but it's usually more productive when it's at an in-person ......
