I know some of you are reading my lifestyle posts and getting angry.
I know how you feel.
I was angry and frustrated for a long time. I saw other people who were successful, had time and money, and everything, it seemed! I wanted badly to be successful too, and of course have the incredible lifestyle that went with it.
The problem was I was completely wrapped up in fear and doubt. I had to learn not to be so attached, I had to learn to just let go and get excited about the journey.
You see, success is a journey and not a destination.
I recently had lunch with a good friend of mine and fellow super affiliate, Jeff Roth. We’ve been friends for years, and in business together in the past. We failed for years, and surprisingly enough we had our big successes around the same time.
I love just talking to Jeff about all the crap we went through, all the years we failed, all the crazy stories! It was exciting, because even though we couldn’t see the results, we know we were doing what 99% of people were unwilling to do. We knew if we kept doing it we would live like 99% can only dream of living.
And NOW WE DO!
Get excited about the journey, and stop worrying about the results.
If you ever studied Hindu philosophy, you understand that the key to success is taking action without being attached to the results.
This is easier said than done.
Set your goals, write out a game plan, and then execute your game plan and forget the goals.
Enjoy everyday, know that even if your next campaign fails that you’re that much closer to finding a winner. Know that with every campaign that fails you’ve learned something that will help you succeed in the future.
Every failure is a stepping stone to success, if you learn from it.

Hey Amit, I actually love your lifestyle posts because they show me where i want to get and that I have a lot more work to do. Also, I think that people like it when bloggers write something about their personal life. That makes them seem like their just another guy and that anyone can achieve their success with a lot of hard work, testing and learning.
I can understand those people who are struggling to make money online being pissed off about hearing about someone else’s success. It can be a frustrating business at times when you work so hard and get no results.
I really admire you and the way you haven`t given up and gone onto achieve what you have, particularly the age you are. I love the lifestyle posts. I always think. My time will come, if amit can do it, so can I.
As regards people being pissed off. Well they should put the work into it . I agree it can be frustrating but it is all about the right keywords and the testing. I feel people should be happy and glad for you. You are proof that it is possible. I am doing the income kickstart with Anik and I hope that one day I will be up there like the rest of you.
