I originally wrote most of the article below in response to a highly popular blog post on another site that had to do with becoming discouraged and experiencing delay. I’ve fleshed it out below to give you an idea of what it takes “internally” to succeed at this game of internet marketing.
I started writing it on this other blog and felt compelled to write more about it on my own here. Feel free to distribute this as far and wide as you like. If you implement it, it will save you YEARS of frustration, spinning, and the lower levels of a mediocre existence.

P.S. – For those of you who don’t believe this article applies to you, I’d invite you and ask yourself if you are perfect. Is there any way you could possibly improve right now? Even if you think you know the answer to success, it doesn’t hurt to have a reminder or hear another one of the infinite points of view on the matter. It could give you a refreshing outlook.
So go ahead and read… and enjoy.
========================
I write about this in my 7-Day Marketing Mastery Mini-Course, but I feel it’s important enough to share with you here.
If you and I are similar in any way, then I’m willing to bet that we both share a somewhat insatiable appetite for self-improvement. Me? I’ve been into it ever since I was 15 when I read my first self-improvement classic How to Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
I’ve read countless other self-mastery books since that time and continue to do so weekly. It is a deeply fulfilling feeling to enrich yourself with knowledge that can bring you a much more meaningful life. I’m sure you know the feeling.
And you know what? After over a decade of reading, spending money on courses, practicing what was given me, learning new skills and joining countless “business opportunities”, I still felt frustrated, depressed, and despaired that I may have to work for someone else the rest of my life. In essence, I was getting nowhere, despite all of the “improvement” I had supposedly integrated.
If you haven’t felt this way before, then you’ve probably heard about someone feeling this way and then finding their way to riches. And I don’t mean just material wealth. There is also emotional abundance, physical vitality, spiritual wisdom.
These are the true riches. Money is just a well-oiled mechanism to help achieve some of those things.
In any case, yes, the story is a common one. Someone who was frustrated, angry, depressed, suffering – somehow finds his or her way out of the darkness.
How did they do it?
I’d read these accounts, the stories, the motivational experiences and I’d understand what it took intellectually. I read it over and over in countless books, books which all relayed the same basic message – becoming an expert, taking massive action, and persistence. Those are basically it.
However… I still didn’t really GET it. I’d read the same message over and over, but it didn’t sink in. And there was a reason for this.
Many of these self-improvement courses do not mention the catalyst, the predecessor that comes before the gigantic leap into the new life that transcends this frustration, anger and despair I spoke of previously.
This one catalyst will change everything if you let it. It will completely transform how you think, what you do, how you do it. It can be the precursor to a new “You”.
What is this catalyst?
The one catalyst that finally got me to exorcise all the excuses - whether it was my mood, not thinking my efforts were worth it, procrastination, depression, frustration or what have you - was becoming FED UP.
I got fed up with not having enough money, time, and ability to enjoy both. I was sick of using methods that yielded me little to no results and just left me frustrated, even angry. I was bitter and disappointed at how long I had been “working”, and the only thing I had to show for it were mediocre results.
Now understand that “fed up” doesn’t mean annoyed or even angry. No. This was a deep sense of frustration, of disgust and anger all rolled into a bitter burrito. It was a burning urgency that NEEDED resolution.
I became livid at myself for being such a fool, for knowing so much and yet failing to meet up to my higher standards for so long. My inner pain had finally caught up to me and I’d had enough.
There came a point of critical mass when all that frustration, anger and disappointment simply surfaced into a laser-focused desire to achieve, no matter what. If I had to work 18 hours a day 7 days a week, I would do that. If I had to spend $1000 on advertising in order to earn $1050, so be it. I would do anything and everything short of selling my grandmother to be done with the nagging feeling that my life was going to be that of an automaton.
I was totally fed up with my personal situation and I HAD TO CHANGE.
This culmination of feelings enabled me to transcend them and develop a pregnant resolve.
I couldn’t take being frustrated anymore. I was fed up with being fed up. And when you can’t take it anymore, you MUST change. As Tony Robbins puts it, “This is when pain becomes your friend.”
This absolute “MUST CHANGE” attitude will do it. But it’s not an “okay, I’ve changed, now let me go surf the internet for entertainment” kind of change. This is no light matter.
No, this is a deep, soul-jarring sense of unquenchable desire, fortitude, and “CAN DO”. It simply MUST be done and NOW. There is no alternative. You can feel it swirling through your body, like a fiery phoenix of willpower and resolution in your chest.
This level of resolve is what develops from becoming fed up with your circumstances. Totally fed up.
And this is what happened for me. I had become totally frustrated, and developed limitless resolve as a result. I had awakened an Unstoppable Force.
Allow me to save you 10+ years of frustration. You can do this, too, RIGHT NOW.
If you aren’t satisfied with where you are, start channelling your energies into becoming fed up with your situation. Think of all of the things, experiences, people, environments you have denied yourself by sticking with your old ways of doing things. Do you procrastinate? Watch too much TV? Surf the internet, waste time? Hang out with friends too much? Smoke?
Really think about this. Develop your frustration. Stop reading and do this now.
If you were honest with yourself and thought about it, you’ll notice you became frustrated. You need to use this frustration to catapult you to higher levels where frustration no longer serves you. You instead feel resolve, industry, fulfillment and much more.
Until you do this, you will be doomed to the banality of limited results. After you do it, everything will have changed.
You will have awakened your Unstoppable Force. It’s up to you.
So, there you have it. The secret is out. Yes, most of the self-improvement programs out there are right. They come from people who have walked this exact path but haven’t really spelled it out for the rest of us who may still be experiencing it.
Harness your pain, transcend it, and prosper!

There are definitely more fulfilling things in life. Money can give you more options, sure, but it doesn't mean that you'll always feel happy and fulfilled.
Get out there are socialize- do things with your friends or meet new people. Organize trips and things that you can do. You're lucky because money makes it easier, for example you could go on a holiday with some friends. I really think that you should share your experiences with other people. Money isn't fun unless if you use it to do things with the people you care about. Just make sure they are good friends, not just people using you for your money.
You'll feel better once you get out there and start experiencing things. Go out of your comfort zone, that's probably your problem. You're probably stuck into the same thing, all day everyday day, so change it up a little and you'll feel much better. If you like helping people, then using your money for charities and getting involved in them will make such a difference! To know that you are helping less fortunate people will make you feel very fulfilled.

IT is a matter of great relief to see the Law & Justice Commission deliberating on issues that concern certain powerless sections of society like the women, who seek divorce, and the juvenile offenders, who suffer imprisonment rather than being sent to reformatories. The Commission, meeting under the chairmanship of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, also took note of those inhuman customs that the ignorant adopt to establish guiltlessness of a crime. The outcome of the meeting affords
