My Deep Dark Secret
I am Heidi Morton. I am not a millionaire… There I said it. I am just an average person in a cute little neighbor in Utah, with a charming 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom house with an unfinished basement.
No, this is not an ad to sell my home. Lol. I am just telling it straight, in fact it gets worse. I am going to come clean; I am in the best network marketing company in the world. But yet I can’t get anyone to buy a $69 cruise. Hell if I know why, because that’s a smoking deal. Oh well I guess I suck at selling, telling and sharing.
Yeah I have the same old boring story that’s been told over and over again, you know the one… I hate cold calling, my friends and family suck because they won’t join my business. I made a million flyers. Then I was saved, I found internet marketing, funnel marketing, attraction marketing, however you want to bundle it, I did it. Then I made a million dollars and I am so cool and amazing.
Um, NO!
Ready for my deep dark secret, I also sucked at attraction marketing. Yep you guess it I am not some amazing leader or a heavy hitter. I am just me. Now I am going to tell the dirty truth that no one wants to talk about, I didn’t fail at network marketing or attraction marketing. I made some money. The real reason I didn’t succeed and didn’t become some big shot is simple, I quit, and I didn’t try hard enough.
The system didn’t fail me. I failed to follow the system. The truth hurts and is hard to take, but here it is anyway, most people fail at network marketing, attraction marketing, mlm, internet marketing whatever it is because they fail to follow the steps laid out for them. They fail themselves they don’t work, don’t try hard enough, and keep chasing rainbows. Bottom line most of the time, it’s a flaw in the people not the system.
But most people are too scared to admit that to themselves, not to mention other people. So it’s easier to blame the system or the program, than themselves.
Okay so I held your attention this long, so you want to know the gimmick, the caught… Yeah there’s always a caught right? Drum roll Please, here it is… I am going to sell you something or some made up crap that I have a better deal.
Wrong! I know you were ready to buy something. Lol. J Just playing!
Actually, if you are still reading this boring crap I wrote in the bathtub, good job you deserve a medal. Seriously who writes a blog post in the tub? Yep I am writing this down on good old fashion paper with a pen. (I know that it would be exciting to see me get electrocuted. But of Course now I am copying what I wrote to this blog.)
Ok back to what I was saying… I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I bought every course under the sun to learn how to be successful. But I didn’t apply most of it. Yeah I know I am the queen of excuses and procrastination.
I was just saying to myself yesterday, that I need to stop feeding myself the bull sh** lies my stupid head wants to come up with. Just get your butt to work and apply what you learned. If you can lose 70 pounds and keep it off. Now, that’s hard to do! Then you can market stuff online and make money.
But then again I am a blue personality type. They get distracted easily. How do I solve that problem?
I came up with an answer, but I let my head get in the way and instead of acting then I waited. Here I am today. But I showed up today. I made this blog a long time ago when I thought I wanted to do attraction marketing. But I quit blogging and let the site sit.
So my new plan is this… Track my work, my marketing here. That way I can keep my blue butt in line. If someone falls on my blog then maybe I might encourage their lazy butt to take action.
Here is my disclaimer:
This blog is mine. I am not trying to use it as a marketing tool anymore. I am using it as an online journal to track my progress in my online marketing journey. With that said, I am not an idiot and I know that Google indexes my blog and people will follow a link here from my social media pages. So just in case that happens I am going to post affiliate links on my blog.
But I am not forcing you to click on them. I am not forcing you to read this. So if you have any problems with my blog or anything I am saying on my blog, get the hell off my page. Just keeping it real, yes I have red in me too.
Because this is the first time on this blog that I am laying all my cards on the table, I will be keeping all my funny worded attraction marketing pages up on this blog. You know the pages that make me sound all cool and stuff.
There is no point in taking them down. It’s just extra work. Because really this blog is for my journey and those pages are part of it. Plus I don’t expect anyone to take me seriously anyway, at least until I make it big or whatever. Right, because what the hell do I know about marketing anyway?
We shall see.
Keep it real, keep it consistence.
