There is a hill to climb with Internet Marketing – but consider the REWARDS!!!
Like anything you do, YOU GET BACK WHAT YOU PUT IN. Rewards only come after the necessary ingredients are added to your plan.
Knowing which ingredients to use and when is the key to success. This principle doesn’t just apply to making money online, of course.
We all know that effort is needed to be successful. As the diagram above depicts, I cycle. I need to train to keep up my fitness levels. As Steven Covey would say in one of his 7- effective habits, “Sharpen the Saw”. The analogy is basically saying that one always need to learn to improve.
So, once you recognise that there is a ‘hill to climb’ which does need some effort to reach the top, the rewards of Internet Marketing are very real and can be life-changing. As you climb, along the way more choices are presented to you which inevitably gives you more freedom for you to make decisions. This is a great place for you and your family to be.
By following in the footsteps of success, I have more choices to determine where to be for me and my family. The mentoring program is being able to follow the trail of success, with a clear compass. The objectives are real and achievable.

Hi Gareth,
Having just got back from an hour long indoor cycle ride your graphic made me even more tired.
It is very true that there are rewards along the way. A feeding station here and there is always welcome.
Sometimes it does feel like your animated cyclists route – all uphill, but it is worth staying on the bike because once you get off your journey ends.

Thanks Dave,
In the spirit of following the analogy of the cyclist, I agree that there are many pit-stops along the way.
I’m discovering that this journey is like being in a ‘peloton’ with the other members of the PTS program.
Learning heaps, especially after studying their blogs. I have a long way to go, but certainly no intention of getting off the bike.
Thanks again
Gareth
Hi Gareth, that simple graphic on your post just sums up the I.M. journey to a T (except maybe it should have some bigger bumps along the way)!, yep this journey is one long uphill struggle for most of the way and it is not always clear to see where we are going, but we have the Internet Marketing equivalent of a sat-nav in the form of John Thornhill’s Partnership To Success coaching program to keep us on track and heading in the right direction.
But being on a top coaching program does not in itself guarantee success, as you quite rightfully say in your article above…”YOU GET BACK WHAT YOU PUT IN” there is no quick fix, no business in a box which will allow you to ‘sack your boss’ in a fortnight, there is only work work and more work until you get the foundations of your business set up right, good products to promote and relevant up to date content on our blogs and in our subscriber emails… content which is good enough for people to notice us and separate us from the thousands of other marketers who just want to ‘sell sell sell’ to us.
Yep that sure is one big hill we gotta climb, but climb it we most certainly can!
Nice blog by the way
Cheers
Pete Chapman
Thanks Pete,
Glad you like the graphic – courtesy of my son, although it’s me on the bike.
Early in John’s PTS program, but it’s looking promising. Enjoying the course, meeting some informed people and learning heaps.
Intend to stay for the long-haul and see what happens
Regards
Gareth
Strive to be the very best at whatever you are assigned to do at the moment. If you do, your next assignment might just be a promotion.-Napoleon Hill “Think and Grow Rich” I too am enjoying John’s course, finding it very informative and useful.
Thanks Yvonne. I think analogies can be well used to describe how things are in reality.
Regards
Gareth
Hi Gareth,
I love your cyclist heading up the hill.It reminded me of when I used to go hill walking. When you get half way up the hill, you just have to keep going to the top, you can’t get off the mountain. And then somehow, you keep going and find yourself at the top. Wishing you and all our fellow Partnership to Success members the top!
Aileen
Thanks Aileen – appreciate your comments
Likewise – success for all.
