Eric Louviere is smart about some online business stuff that really matters – so I’m re-publishing something of his here. Not because I’m too lazy to write something, but because Eric says it very well and you should take it to heart. I’m not some lone bug-eyed freedom-prophet – I get my insights from watching what works in business – and reading what other people who watch what works write. So read this:
If you’ve been a newbie for over a year, then you might be a redneck.
No seriously, if you are a newbie right now, then you need to stop being a newbie and start selling stuff. In fact, just get a squeeze page up and send traffic to it.
If you do that, then you’ll be further along than 95% of all newbies right away.
Send traffic to a squeeze page, and you’re in business. That’s it.
Want to make six figures per year? send enough traffic to a squeeze page that you build a list of 5,000 subscribers or more.
I’m now fully convinced that people dont make money because of the BARRIERS they put up that prevents them from making money.
BARRIERS =

You and me are own worst enemy.
… and it’s all in our minds!
…Especially when we let negative feelings put up walls to achieving our personal and professional goals.
We see this every day – person A begins talking enthusiastically about a new opportunity and immediately persons B and C shoot the idea down by focusing only on the negative outcomes that could potentially result.
I’m guilty of this – big time!

In the big-picture however, I am a relentless optimist. I know that each new plateau of success requires overcoming unwelcome challenges.
That’s life. Check your own experience to corroborate my opinion – it will probably match-up.
Case-in-point (non-business): I sucked at guitar when I started. With each new accomplishment in skill, dexterity, or comprehension of musical principles more finicky challenges presented themselves – and could only be overcome with dedicated practice and self-assessment.
And some days I just felt like I wasn’t making any progress at all… sometimes for weeks.
Then… Big

For a guy like me to write about goal-setting is a little strange – because I am more averse to setting goals than a lot of people – or perhaps I just do it in unconventional ways.
I’m gonna try to share some insight. Like most stuff, take what you can use and the stuff that feels stiff or unnatural to you… well, consider what foreign lessons have to offer but also follow your intuition. Getting to where you want to go and enjoying the journey are equally important in my book – which is why I’m averse to the kind of “type A” GET RESULTS goal-setting we sometimes see.
There are some sort of formulaic and common-sense stuff you should take to heart when deciding what your goals are going to be. Writing about it always seems kind of stiff and academic to me – because there is a big difference between saying you’re going to kick the ba1l past the goalie and actually getting on the field, getting knocked-around and persevering doggedly until you succeed.
Getting goals has a lot to do with stubborn determination in my experience. How you set
