"Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success." Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie should know - he was born a poor farmer's son and went on to achieve phenomenal success in his own business ventures, and taught others how to do the same. In fact, fifty years after his death, Dale Carnegie courses are still being taught around the globe. The list of big name clients read like a "Who's Who" of international commerce.

And it was all built using the "magic" combination of enthusiasm, common sense, and persistence.

Maintaining your enthusiasm while struggling to build an online business may be the most difficult of tasks. You will have to face failure, and overcome the feelings of despair that it brings. It may help to know that every successful business has its share of failures. The difference between total failure and overwhelming success lies in applying the other two "magic" ingredients.

You have to apply some common sense to know when the things you are doing are not going to yield results. This may be a little tricky, as quite often known successful methods for building your business are slow and painful. Learn from others that have gone before you, and be careful not to succumb to the abundant "get-rich-quick" hype.

Even when you're certain that you're doing all the right things, and you're still not getting results...persist. Eventually, you will start to see results. They will trickle in at first, and then build to a steady stream, and before you know it, you'll be in the middle of a frightening torrent of clients clamoring for your attention.

Be prepared for success! When you start to see that first trickle coming in, imagine what it will be like when the results are ten, twenty, or a hundred times what they are now. Make sure your business is set up to handle the traffic.

The formula for success in business hasn't changed. We are still using the same basic principles that have always applied, since the dawn of time. Keep them in mind at all times, and put them to good use - they will serve you well!
