Indeed Ken’s book is a classic for former SBIers like you and I. Let me add one more – getting too easily distracted. This is the scourge of our internet surfing, gadget-laden, tweeting and Facebook posting world.

By doing the things that keep us away from taking those highly specific actions that make us money or move us toward our goals – KEEPS US FROM achieving all we set out to do or have that initial motivation and drive to do.

Because of this huge sea of distraction that constantly surrounds us and that is so easy to get caught up in – without some self control – we either set ourselves back foir months, if not years, or we risk never achieving the goals we originally set out to accomplish.

Distraction is one of the BIGGEST reasons people fail these days. I even catch myself doing about an hour or more of nonsense “curiosity checks” on my site stats, Adsense revenue, or whatever else from time to time – instead of my prime 2 objectives as an online entrepreneur – creating content and highly focused marketing and promotion!

Finding new strageties is a great way like you said, and i think you just need to know what works best for you.

Ken really hit the nail on the head. I 'm sorry to say, but I fit into all those category in degree or another. Out of the 13, I probably fit at number 5, envious. I wanted to started with online income about 8 or 10 years ago. I didn't follow through, because I lack the knowledge of personally development and persistence to through success. I thank you for sharing this valuable information with me as you do with other that comes to your site. This gave me the inspiration to get back on the bandwagon. Hello Lisa,

A very good and a very good book. I've downloaded and read it and I'd also like to add my 2 cents. #15 Mentality is related to the one you added, but 180 degrees opposed. I would call it "Fear of Success". Some people have a (sick) sense of pride on their self pityness and will avoid every tiny chance of success like the plague. Some of them aren't even aware of that trait of their personality and try really hard, but just when things start to turn toward success they start (mostly uncounsciously) to savotage themselves, ending in (yet another) failure. They will whine about that failure, but deep inside they will feel relieved that their lives of failures will still be able to inspire some pity in others and in themselves. Thanks Lisa!
