Keep the Right Perspective About Time Frames

People have completely absurd ideas about how much they can make in their first few months as an internet marketer. I love the quote from management guru Peter Drucker:
"We greatly overestimate what we can accomplish in one year. But we greatly underestimate what we can accomplish in five years."
I would change the quote slightly for you:
"We greatly overestimate what we can accomplish in a month. But we greatly underestimate what we can accomplish in a year."
If you're serious about making money on the internet, be prepared for a very boring first few months. It will be quite a bit of work with not much obvious payoff. The key - the absolute KEY - to success is persisting in the right activities day in and day out for the first few months.
If you're wondering whether it's worth it, just trust me - it's worth it. Your leanest months as an internet marketer will be much happier than your richest months as a corporate monkey (as least that's been true for me).
So, I guess it took me about 1,000 words to say this: If you can persist for 9 to 12 months, you'll have something. Hang in there.
