Comments on: Are You Hitting Your Affiliate Pain Threshold?

Thomas Edison said, “Why would I feel like a failure? And why would I ever give up? I now know definitively over 9,000 ways that an electric light bulb will not work. Success is almost in my grasp”. And shortly after that, and over 10,000 attempts, Edison invented the light bulb.
I know I’m glad his pain threshold wasn’t “the kind of pain that was telling him he needed to do something different”.

Amit, Thanks for this post. I love the challenge ppc brings- I left an 80K/year j.o.b. (just over broke) to start ppc full time with zero experience! Crazy, yes- but I’m successfully out of my comfort zone and it’s forcing me to work those 14 hour days that it takes to learn this game. I’m 25 or 30 or so campaigns in and consider it all practice. I’m not discouraged at all. In fact, I’m more excited now because I’m infinitely more knowledgeable and I KNOW success is right around the corner. PPC-Classroom has been one of my biggest assets along with the right positive support through close friends like George Gerbasi. To everyone out there- LOSE THE EXCUSES!

Ah yes, the pain threshold…. hmmm….. I think there’s a difference between the kind of pain you need to break through, and the kind of pain that’s telling you you need to do something different… tis good to be determined though.

Thanks, Amit. I actually had 3 failed campaigns today – very discouraging. I came specifically to this belong because you always throw in inspirational posts.

This is a very thought-provoking question you’re proposing. Obviously, it can be difficult to stay motivated after you have been met with disappointing results several times. No great success story every begins without failure a time or two. Keep at it, and don’t give up. Great advice, Amit!

Hi Amit,

I have had suffered through worse and worst things in life. My ultimate low point is being literally alone with only $25 on my pocket in a foreign land.

Pain? Bring it on.

PS: When will PPC Classroom 2.0 forums be up? I’m dying to ask a few hundred questions. ^_^

PPS: I’m on my 4th failed campaign so now I’m going to design a landing page to see if it can make a difference!

Hi Amit,

Truer words were never spoken.

You’re personal example of persistence and success serves as an inspiration to us all.

I came across a video recently that illustrates what you’re speaking about. It reveals how we all really have more inside us … than we think is possible.

It’s a tremendous example that we always need to give our best in the face of what seems to be insurmountable obstacles.

I’ve personally bookmarked this video … so I know it’ll move you too. You can see it at: http://budurl.com/NeverGiveUp

Best from Athens,
Bob

I have entered a Support Ticket, and have not heard back from anyone.

Now, when I click on “Support”, it says I’m not authorized to enter.

Please contact me ASAP. This is serious.
