Summary

In case you haven’t noticed by now, I want you to succeed. It is genuinely important to me to help you reach that place in your business where you can say, “Yes, I made it; I love my work and I love my life!” But there is something else that is equally as compelling that I want for you: I want you to enjoy the journey—the process of making it all happen. If you’ve been with me for a while you know that I often talk about the kinds of strategies that have worked for me, that I know can work for you too. Things like building your email list early in the game, effective ways of using Facebook to engage with your audience, and the importance of having a marketing plan—knowing what you’re going to do before you set out to do it. I stand behind all of these things 100%, but there is something else you need to know. Something so critical it can actually make or break your online business dreams. I'm talking about what you believe regarding your ability to achieve success in your business. The 3 Beliefs You Must Have to Achieve Success in Your Business Belief #1 - I believe that one of the biggest strengths in my business is knowing my target market intimately. Knowing how they think, what they need, and what words and emotions they use to express themselves is crucial to my success. Belief #2 - I believe that I am not alone, shipwrecked on a desert island needing to have all the answers myself. I thrive and my business thrives with a few core mentors that I trust and can turn to again and again. Belief #3 - I believe I have a great idea (product/service) that will impact people’s lives, and that my idea needs a clear and easy-to-navigate system to generate sales. Understanding the Three Beliefs Let’s examine each belief more closely and see what’s important about it. #1 Knowing Your Audience #2 Finding Your Mentor #3 Having a System Why You Need These 3 Beliefs I said at the beginning that belief is a tricky concept, because it’s not something I can teach you. I can only tell you, and back it up with my story and many others. But at the end of the day, the best proof of a belief is to look at your own situation. If you don’t have these beliefs, how are things going for you? Is your business on track with your vision? Are your sales what you want them to be? And if they’re not, isn’t it time to change your beliefs? I know it isn’t easy at first. It’s scary to change, to risk spending money or time on learning to do things in a new way. Don’t let fear hold you back. The purpose of belief is to shape the actions we take. And as soon as you begin taking action on these beliefs, you already have them. You will feel the difference inside you—you’ll feel your confidence growing, and your sense of purpose will feel more grounded than ever. Before long, you’ll also be seeing the difference on the outside—more email subscribers, greater audience engagement, and an increase in sales. I want all of that for you, from the bottom of my heart. I would love to hear your experiences in the comments below. Have you tried a system that has worked well for you? How are you getting to know your audience? Do you have the kind of mentorship you need to succeed? Keep moving forward and know you are not alone! Don't forget to join me on my FREE, Master Class where I'm revealing the EXACT marketing system I use (and where Facebook fits into it to!) generate multiple sales every single day. *The master class registration has passed, but be sure to stay on the list for future webinars!

Hey there Amy Porterfield here and welcome to another edition of the online marketing made easy podcast as always I am so very happy that you're here so thanks for tuning in.

0:36.1

Now before we get started I've got to thank you if you've written me a review you have just knocked my socks off I've read a bunch of them lately and I just really appreciate it.

0:47.4

I have to admit I probably put more work more time more effort into this podcast than maybe I should meaning maybe I should be putting some focus in some different areas but I really feel like I can't turn on the mic if I don't do my research and create these little mini courses inside of my podcast.

1:06.1

Sometimes I think it's a lot I know so I'm trying to pull back a little and not give you too much but I really truly love this way of connecting with you and many of you love it as well because I read it in the reviews so if you left a review thank you so much now a while back I promise that I would choose a winner from all of the reviews to actually win one of my profit lab programs meaning enrollment into the upcoming profit lab.

1:34.4

The profit lab is all I've been doing lately like sleep breathe eat profit lab because we've changed it it's no longer the Facebook marketing profit lab but now it's called the profit lab and it still totally includes a lot of Facebook but we've integrated other things like more email marketing more list building with other social media channels and more just overall online core strategies that you need to know so we've totally recalled it and it's been a lot of work.

2:02.2

But when I read those reviews it reminds me that I'm on the right track and I'm giving you guys a stuff that you want so I just want to thank you for those reviews and choose a winner so we chose a winner it's weird because you if you're listening you're going to need to contact us and let us know and maybe somehow confirm that this is you because the name is.

2:20.5

SNIC name 10 SNIC and I C K N A M E 10 and this is what SNIC name 10 said Amy I bow down your stuff is so good every time I listen I feel like I'm getting a mini course which is exactly what I was trying to do so I love that I actually had to stop listening to online marketing made easy when I run because I get so many great ideas well listening I would have to stop running and write them down by far one of the best podcast around keep up the good work.

2:48.8

So thank you so very much we did definitely do just a random winner and this is who we found but I just SNIC SNIC name 10 thank you that just makes my day so reach out to us at Amy at Amy Porterfield dot com and we will get you set up at the mastery level when I unveiled the profit lab we have self study and mastery and masteries when you get access to me and I review your entire marketing plan that we set up in the program and we do.

3:18.8

When a calls so it's really cool lot of value there so you get the highest level free of charge you are my guest so I thought I would do one more of those just one more in honor of the profit lab coming out so very soon and so if you want to leave review anybody that's left a review up into this point and then anyone who leaves a review if you haven't up until May 6th so you have till May 6 2015 where we can do one more little contest.

3:46.8

4:06.6

Okay so we are moving on and today we are talking about the three beliefs of truly successful entrepreneurs three beliefs three things that they believe these really successful entrepreneurs everyone that I've ever come in contact with they believe this to be true and I think this ball these beliefs they have are actually making a huge difference in their success and so I want to break them down for you.

4:35.7

And get you on board with these three beliefs if you're not already there and if you are awesome you'll see yourself in a lot of these examples.

4:43.0

And before we dive into those three beliefs I want to see if you can relate to any of these three scenarios I'm going to throw at you because I feel there are some core emotions are feelings around stress and overwhelm especially for people that are in there.

4:57.0

Let's say first three years of getting your business up you know even though you might be out of that first year there's still these struggles of building a business that come up almost regularly in those first few years and so those are the people that I'm really connecting with right now and and I want to help you keep moving forward but in a really smart way.

5:16.0

So see if you can relate to any of these this first one I'm just going to pretend like I'm the person so I'm reading a quote and these are some struggles from my students and I want to see if you can relate.

5:26.7

So Mike says I want to make this work I really do but when I left my corporate job to start my own thing I had no idea that the technology and marketing jargon would be so overwhelming plus everywhere I look someone new is telling me I must do this or I must do that who the heck should I be following it's too much data coming at me all at once and honestly I'm just afraid that I won't make this work that I left my corporate job and I can't make my online business.

5:56.7

So have you ever had those feelings any of those feelings the technology the marketing jargon just kind of afraid that what you've created isn't going to work.

6:06.1

That's one I wanted to see if you can relate to here's another one I'm already spending so much time on my business setting it up refining the product actually feeling some orders planning for the future it's overwhelming to think of spending even more time on online marketing.

6:22.4

I want to have the time for the other things in my life that are important the things that I thought I'd have time for once I became my own boss but it doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon.

6:34.2

So this is another one that I get all the time this is from Janet and this one comes up because people quit their corporate job start their online business and realize I'm working more hours in this than I was at my crazy corporate job and there's no time to learn all this marketing stuff.
