This is a hard lesson I had to learn. And also a common mistake I see other people making. And it causes an immense amount of frustration and failure.

Most likely its a mistake you are making right now too.

The good news… its easy to fix!

Our entire life we have been taught to set and achieve goals. From getting good grades, to winning the football game and league championship.

And as we enter the world of work and business. We are taught great strategies to set goals in our life.

This is not about goal setting. If you want to learn more about setting goals, then check out Nitro Blueprint System students Dale and Jeanne Stuemke at www.launchyourgoals.com

Here's the problem.

Goals are about Outcomes. What do we want to achieve.

In your business it might be…

get more traffic

increase your optin rate to 35%

make $10,000 a month

They are the destinations you want to end up at.

However… listen closely, here's the real secret… you have NO control over achieving your goals or not.

Instead, you ONLY have control over the inputs, the actions you take that can lead to reaching your goals. The reason is, to achieve those goals (those outputs) require other people you have no control over to do something.

Let's look at the 3 examples above to make this tangible.

get more traffic

To get more traffic to your website requires other people to come to your site.

However, if you instead look at the inputs - the things you can actually do - that would most likely result in the outcome you are looking for. Well, then you can make it happen.

So you could start up a pay-per-click campaign following the upcoming October issue of Trafficology that is all about PPC traffic.

Or find a new affiliate partner. Or write and submit an article to some article directories.

You have control over all of those actions.

And you can also monitor the results that comes from those actions to see which one most effectively leads to your goal.

increase your optin rate to 35%

Again, to increase your optin rate requires more of the people who come to your website to fill out your subscription form with their name and email address and pressing the submit button.

You can MAKE people do that. Instead you can only do your best to enable that result to happen.

You can test different headlines, or test new submit buttons, or test offering something you think would be more appealing for subscribing, or adding testimonials, or a picture.

ALL of those things YOU have control over. Those are inputs, actions, you take that could very likely lead to the outcome, your result or end goal, you are trying to achieve.

make $10,000 a month

Finally, this requires other people to first visit your site, read your page, click on the order link, enter their name, contact info and credit card details and press the button to pay you money.

If you step back and ask yourself…
"What actions can I take that will get me closer to the end result I want to achieve?"

You end up with a list of:

increase my traffic

increase my optin rate
(we talked about those - they are actually results you don't have control over but do have actions you can take to move you towards those results)

test different headlines for my sales letter

increase the value of my offer

add testimonials (careful with that one, if you don't have testimonials than that means you have a new output you need to accomplish of getting testimonials)

improve your email follow-up messages

What Is The Big Lesson Learned?

Its great to dream, set goals and look towards the future. In fact, if you want to be successful you need to do those things.

However that gives you a list of the Outputs you want to accomplish… all of which you have no control over.

So, if you don't follow that up with this next step, then you will constantly be feeling frustrated and not seeing the results you want.

The next step is to then take those end results and identify the actions you can and should take that will lead you towards achieving those goals.

These are the things YOU have CONTROL over and are not dependent on somebody else doing something (like visiting your site, opting into your list or buying your product.)

In our Nitro Blueprint System training we call it "breaking up the major into the minor."

If this message resonated with you, then most likely you've been making this mistake too. (Don't worry, I still find myself doing it too.)

You will also find our Nitro Blueprint System incredibly helpful in overcoming this roadblock.

It gives you our 10-step system to starting and growing an online business. Even more, it gives you the specific ACTIONS (all those things YOU have control over) to accomplish each of those steps.

What I’m about to tell you will probably be hard to believe. You’ll be tempted to doubt it and I really won’t blame you.

When I first started out with an online business, if someone would have told me that all of my success depended on mastering just ONE skill, I would have thought they were crazy.

Yet through out the years, I’ve seen this proven to be true over and over again. To see what I’m talking about, head over to:

http://www.allstarsoftraffic.com

This is in-your-face proof that cannot be disputed… period.

So I feel pretty confident in telling you that if you master that one skill, you can say goodbye to the so-called recession and finally achieve the greatest financial success in your business ever imagined.

What exactly am I talking about?

WEB TRAFFIC!

The answer might be a little anti-climactic, but it’s just so true. And I believe the fastest way to acquire the skill of traffic generation is to learn from the Masters.

You know you’re dealing with masters when they’ve invented many new traffic methods and coined phrases that you and I use today. They’ve been in the trenches for years, and they’ve fought many “battles” online to develop their traffic generation skills.

So who better to learn from? And what if you could get them all in one room together, and share with you exactly how they’re doing it?

And what if you could get them to share all of their precious, closely guarded traffic generation secrets for FREE??

These masters are the heavy-hitters of internet marketing and web traffic, and most of whom you’re probably already familiar with. And you could have a chance to learn from them at NO cost, so go see who they are:

http://www.allstarsoftraffic.com

It’s really going to happen. Dearl Miller of “Trafficology” is going to get all of these “big dogs” of traffic generation to take part in a free, LIVE, ‘All-Stars of Traffic’ Marathon where they’ll share their methods, strategies, and tactics they’re using right now to generate floods of new visitors to their websites.

2.For you, this will be like winning the lottery and like having free money being thrown your way. That’s how much I believe this will impact you and your business.

3.You can also imagine how much space for this event will be limited. An event of this magnitude will likely get filled up very fast, even though we’re opening it to a couple of thousand people. I strongly urge you to register and secure your free spot now before it’s too late:
