Fladlien Productions

Once upon a time little Jason Fladlien was so shy… he wouldn’t even look people in the eye or say hi to strangers on the streets. He was so awkward, he didn’t learn to tie his shoes until his was 6 years old (thank god for Velcro!).

And he was so scared he didn’t get his license until his was 21 years old.

Flash forward to now and little Jason Fladlien is confident – he can even look a maitre de square in the eyes without blinking

He travels the country, speaks to hundreds of people at a time and he’s constantly trying out new things without fear of failure.

What changed? What was the one key thing that transformed this introverted, shy nerd into somebody so confident in their ability to manifest wealth out of thin air, who can act on a good idea without “paralysis by analysis” because he’s learned to trust intuition and instinct?

If you’re asking yourself that question – you’re asking the wrong question.

There NEVER is ONE key thing.

Here’s something interesting I’ve noticed over my journey from broke house painter to “top 3% Income Earner” in the United States…

When I studied sales techniques – I didn’t really “get them” until about 6 months later. Sure, there was one or two things that gave me some immediate benefit. But it wasn’t until about 6 months later did most of what I study and practice become almost second nature.

The same was true when I started using NLP. At first it was hard and tedious… then things I hadn’t even looked for many months I could do almost effortlessly.

Same was true with sales copy – when I first started, I couldn’t finish an ad in a week. Even though I had studied the masters… had read over 5000+ pages of copywriting instruction… handwritten out ads for hours… copied, one by one, one thousand bullet points onto 3 by 5 notecards.

Only after about 6 months could I really use the stuff effortlessly. Now I can write sales letters in my head, and create a sales letter full of world class bullet points in seconds.

See the secret is this: I didn’t do ONE thing to overcome my “disadvantages”. I did everything I could… used every resource I had. Continued to use them – because I didn’t expect any of them to work hardly at all when I first applied them…

But I knew if I could stick with them for 6 months – then they’d become “a part” of me.

Now here’s the neat thing: when you master one of the skills to make yourself stronger… you accelerate complimentary skills. It didn’t take me 6 months to learn how to sell from the stage. Since I had already cultivated the talent of writing good sales copy… It took me days… not weeks… not years.

Days.

Now I can master most anything I want in business in 17 days or less. Because I paid my dues.

Since I’ve experienced a decent amount of success in Internet marketing, I’ve made many friends over the years. I can probably count 15 close marketing friends I talk with at least once a month. Each earns over six figures a year.

Everywhere I look around me I see wealth. It seems to me everyone is getting rich because I hang with the right crowds. Think of what that does to your mind state.

But here’s what else is interesting about these high achievers – everyone of them has a similar story to mine. Each had to overcome several “mental” limitations such as shyness, fear, anxiety, a poor mental image, etc.

And they all did. Because they wanted it bad enough.

What’s the moral to this story today? It’s this: I don’t care what you have going against you… I don’t care what has previously happened to you in your attempts to meet your monetary goals with Internet marketing… I don’t care what challenges you have facing you in the coming months ahead…

I do know that everything you’ve done up until this point can be used as experience, knowledge and power to get you to the next level.

And I do know that your dogged determination to make it happen will fuel you to do the things TODAY that will pay off in spades 6 months from now. Then that’s another skill you have in your tool bag. Do that with just a handful of skills… and you’ll be able to achieve your goals.
