Recently, I was invited and joined the Linkedin Group - O.M.G. – Our Masterminds Group I discovered a long time ago that I can learn a lot from listening to others and this group offers a wonderful diversity of knowledge, experience and a passion to help others.
So I posted a question to my OMG LinkedIn group and asked them this ….
What words of motivation or inspiration would you give for an ‘up-and-coming’ online marketer?
Corey Blackmur – Creating Success One Step At A Time
“I think the key to getting started as an online marketer is the fact that “you will have to change part of your life”. Things like less television, or less socializing, just to name a couple. You definitely have to treat it as a business and not a hobby, so you will require consistent effort with results based action while stepping out of your “comfort zone”.
I go back to this saying:
“Amateurs built the Ark – Professionals built the Titanic” therefore you can achieve anything you set your mind to do as long as you remain committed to your dreams and your goals.”
Kent Smith – Rodan + Fields Dermatologists
“I think that persistence is the key. You have to realize that you have to be in it for the long haul. It will not happen over night. It will take some time. I feel that you need to get connected to the right people such as OMG who can share their experiences and are willing to help each other achieve success. You cannot do it alone.”
Lisa Simpkins - Digital Info Products
“Not only persistence but patience, good work ethics and good communication skills are key. It takes time to learn how to market online and that’s where a lot of people fail. Marketing online is a whole new ball game to offline marketing.
My words of motivation would have to be – “Patience is a virtue” strive to be all you can be and it will come to you.”
MJ Schrader – Making Your Inner Rockstar Shine!
“While fear is part of all of our lives, it seems to prevail when you are starting an online business. You can choose to let fear paralyze you or move through it. You can also choose to be stuck in the analysis paralysis or take real action every day. It is not always easy, and some days your action step may be small, but as long as you continue to keep moving forward you will reach your goals.”
Clarence T Montgomery – Find Solutions To Online Marketing
I would quote:

Hi Lynn as a person who is starting up this is a valuable post for me. From what I have gathered, it’s a lot about patience, persistence and being consistent. I will keep that in mind when the going gets tough
You hit the nail on the head Diana! If you have all three and stay focused,
you will certainly lead yourself and maintain your path for success. And
along the way will build a huge connection of professional relationships and
a solid customer base as well. Thank you so much for stopping by and

Thank you so much Cory and that is such a wonderful compliment. I truly love the way you have put together both groups and how they continue to grow and become a huge asset to everyone. Your direction and guidance allows me to not only voice my opinion but to listen and hear from so many wonderful, diverse entrepreneurs and business professionals.
Appreciate you stopping by today and sharing your thoughts.
I don’t think there’s any more advice left! That was a great list of motivational and inspirational tidbits. Was happy to see MJ Schrader on that list. Have masterminded with her before. She is a wordpress wiz and talented beyond what even SHE knows! Great group you’ve got there and awesome advice!
Thank you Martha. I really enjoy meeting people through Linkedin groups and that is how I met MJ Schrader. I agree she offers valuable and useful information for everyone. Appreciate you stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
Thanks for sharing my comments on your blog post Lynn;
Turning my attention to your opening where you say …….
“I discovered a long time ago that I can learn a lot from listening to others”
Isn’t this the truth, just as the old saying goes,,,,,
“two ears, one mouth, listen twice as much as you talk”
By doing that you’ll be surprised at how much you can learn.
By the way,,,,,,great post.

These are fantastic quotes and great advice, Lynn. Thank you for sharing your groups wisdom! There is a real perception of overnight success being the norm on the net and it just isn’t so. As with any business it takes hard work and committment! Wonderful post.
Keep well,
Bonnie
Appreciate your feedback and glad you enjoyed these quotes Bonnie. I know what you mean about the ‘perception’ still lurking on the internet today. I does take a lot of hard work and glad this group was willing to contribute to help others understand.
Lynn,
These are great motivational quotes for us to live by. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with myself and the others in OMG. You are truly an asset for network marketing individuals who are looking to achieve success in their lives.
