Watch Those Small Roadblocks… They Can Build Up to Become GIANT Obstacles

April 23, 2009 · Filed Under Mission, Mindset and Leadership 

Any of you who have read my previous blog posts know that I am big on OVERCOMING OBSTACLES.

Sometimes there are BIG OBSTACLES.

  • Like Losing Your Job.
  • Like Losing Your Home.
  • Like Battling Cancer or other Health Issues

But more times than not, it is the SMALL ROADBLOCKS that accumlate over time that end of causing people to quit.

Case in point….. this has been my week.

I have been working very hard perfecting my Google PPC Marketing Campaigns. Finally, I had arrived at my goal of 100 leads per week.  I was a happy man.

Then, some low life loser decided it would be fun to hack into my Google account and cause chaos.

Of course, Google immediately shut down my account to investigate.

In the meantime, Google saw fit to charge my credit card thousands of dollars from the hack incident.  So I had to fight with Google to get the charges removed.

Still, my marketing campaigns layed dormant, waiting for Google to finish their investigation.  I could just “feel” the leads I was losing.

So, engaging my Entrepreneural Spirt, I decided to open a Yahoo account to run some advertising. But wait, the Yahoo Interface is not like the Google Interface, so I needed to spend a couple of hours learning how to navigate their system.

Now it came time to enter my ads.  I employed the usual software I use to download my ads into all of my Ad Groups all at once.  This is a REAL timesaver.  And guess what?

It wouldn’t work with Yahoo.  UGH!

So, I just finished a 2 hour marathon manually adding all my new ads to  Yahoo.  And finally, my Yahoo campaigns are up and running!

And now I just received an email from Google, telling me that my Google account has been reactivated and ready for action.

The moral of this twisted story?

It would have been VERY easy to quit.  To just throw in the towel and give up.

But winners never quit.. they find a way around the obstacles.

And winners do one other thing…. at least in online marketing ... THEY MAKE MONEY.

To your success!
