Millionaire Mentors Are Here and Are Human!!

This lens is dedicated to the successful internet marketing couple who have become millionaires through hard work and determination. They have a fantastic multi million pound property portfolio which they have built up over the last few years.  And you know what?  They are not snobs. 

Geoff and Jane Morris originally started off in The Brit Group which was a group of four people put together in the Uk by Stephen Pierce from the US. It was after they met with Stephen Pierece at the World Intenet Summit in London 2005 that they dramatically sky-rocketed their success on the internet.

Geoff and Jane (yes I do not call them lord and lady- even though they are millionaires - they are extremely approachable!) have been an invaluable support for keeping me focussed on my internet business.  I have spoken with Jane on numerous occassions either by telephone or by email and have always found her to be welcoming and willing to offer tips on how to improve my website techniques, how to develop squeeze pages, how to tweek little things here and there.  Geoff and Jane are two very successful online affiliate marketeers who have actually offered me  "No strings attached" assistance through answering my emails to questions, which may have sounded quite stupid, and I dare not go back and read them because they probably are!!

BUT they did not judge me, they offered me unprecidented help again and again at no recompense whatsoever to themselves. I am looking forward to meeting them in person sometime in the future.  It was quite ironic, there I was with one of my first emails to Geoff Morris asking a millionaire for assistance, not in my wildest dreams did I think that he would reply... and you know what - he answered my question and said something along the lines that we hopes that he and his wife would meet me one day in the future when I was a millionaire and "share a humble crumb on my dinner table!""

What more could you ask for Jane and Geoff are great people and if you surround yourself by successful people you can only move onwards and upwards and share their enthusiasm.

Studies have shown that successful entrepreneurs possess these characteristics:

1. Self-confidence

This is that magical power of having confidence in oneself and in one's powers and abilities.

2. Achievement Oriented

Results are gained by focused and sustained effort. They concentrate on achieving a specific goal, not just accomplishing a string of unrelated tasks.

3. Risk Taker

They realize that there is a chance of loss inherent in achieving their goals, yet they have the confidence necessary to take calculated risks to achieve their goals.

Entrepreneurs are people who will make decisions, take action, and think that they can control their own destinies. They are often motivated by a spirit of independence which leads them to believe that their success depends on raw effort and hard work, not luck.

So which of these three main characteristics is the most important? Believe it or not, it has to be self-confidence. Without self-confidence, nothing else is possible. If you don't believe in your abilities, then the first challenge that arises may knock you off the path to achieving your goals. Here are a few things to keep in mind for maintaining a higher level of self-confidence.

Positive Thinking

Well, it all starts with a positive attitude, doesn't it? Believing that something good will happen is the first step. Negative thinking simply is not allowed. You must truly believe that there are no circumstances strong enough to deter you from reaching your goals. Remember too, that positive thinking can be contagious. When positive thinking spreads, it can open doors to new ideas, customers, friends, etc.

Persistent Action

Now all of the positive thinking and believing in the world is useless if it is not applied towards a goal. You have to take action, no excuses are allowed. This action must also be persistent. Trying once and then giving up is not going to be enough. Keep at it one step at a time. If you can't get by a certain step, then find a creative way to try again or just go around it.

At the beginning of this article we identified a few traits that are common among successful entrepreneurs. You should be able to look ahead and see yourself where you want to be. Now just maintain a strong belief in yourself and your skills, stick with it, and don't give up. If you can do that, you're already half way there!
