This past week has seen 3 of the Internet “Guru’s” post some fenominal insight about why people fail or succeed on the Internet. The lessons learned from these post can be easily applied to most everyones offline lives and business’s as well.

Why Your Blogs and Your Life Sucks

The firs post I ran across last week was by Michael Gray, aka Gray Wolf, at Wolf-Howl.Com. Michael has an excellent post on why your post’s to social networking sites never go anywhere.

He makes several excellent observations about those who wonder why they’re not a celebrity, why no one ever votes on their stories and why things do not fall into place for them.

The best point he made is one that I’ve often told people who I’ve trained in my Construction business when they asked why their business has never taken off.  I’ve had grown men who should have known better tell me “It’s not fair you have all this business” or “I could be successful too if I had your Clients.” Somehow they never realized I started with “0″ freakin’ Clients just like they did!

Here’s what Michael had to say:

It’s not Fair No one Votes for me! I know your kindergarten teacher told you everything was fair, but it was a lie … really. Noting in life is fair. Some people are better looking, some people are smarter, some people can eat all they want and not gain a pound. Life isn’t fair, it never was and it never will be. Stop sitting around complaining about it and get off your ass and do something you are better at. Really if you spent as much time working as you did whining about the injustice of it all, we’d both be better off.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Michael does go on to give the readers some tips to overcome all these excuses.

What’s Your Single Point of Failure?

The next post I came across was one from SEO Black Hat’s QuadsZilla. He shares an email from a reader who was pulling down 130k a year with Adsense. Google banned his sites suddenly and this person ended up with little to no income. This person sent Quads the email asking what he should do now that Google banned his Adsense accounts.

Judging from Quad’s post, I’m betting the person who sent the email was not expecting how he replied.

In a nutshell, QuadsZilla pointed out 3 critical errors that the emailer had made.

1. All the emailer’s income came from Adsense

2. He used Black Hat SEO and White Hat SEO tactics on the same Adsense account

3. Failed to save/invest some of that 130k per year Jack he was bringing in

Go to SEO Black Hat’s site and read the full post. It’s a great lesson in Online and Offline business practices.

If you haven’t learned how to develop multiple streams of income from your Online business, it may be time you started!

Hard Work (and ’smart’ work) Never Go Un-Rewarded

Finally, I read on Shoemoney’s site where AuctionAds was sold to MediaWhiz. Big congratulations goes out to Jeremy and Dave for their success.

It was only a few months ago when Jeremy and Dave started AuctionAds. Currently they have over 25,000 affiliates pushing 300 MILLION ADS PER DAY! All this within 4 months of launching AuctionAds.

If you have followed Jeremy’s blog for any length of time, you know this guy is a tireless promoter of his business. Judging from the amount of appearances he makes around the country and from his blog post, this guy sleeps very little and works a lot.

Are You Your Own Worse Enemy?

Let’s face it, many of you out there will never succeed because you are not willing to put the time, money and personal sacrifices into what your doing to become a success.

I’m still amazed at how many people I see in forums or on blogs whining about how they need quick cash and would someone please tell them how to make money online quickly. Newsflash folks, the Internet is not your freakin’ ATM!

An online business is a lot like any other business. It takes time, effort and sacrifice to develop a business into a income generating venture. Are you going to suck it up and persevere or roll over and die?
