This is an excerpt from "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. It is definitely a passage that we can all benefit from while becoming internet marketing gurus! :-)

HOW TO DEVELOP PERSISTENCE

There are four simple steps which lead to the habit of PERSISTENCE. They call for no great amount of intelligence, no particular amount of education, and but little time or effort. The necessary steps are:—

1. A DEFINITE PURPOSE BACKED BY BURNING DESIRE FOR ITS
FULFILLMENT.

2. A DEFINITE PLAN, EXPRESSED IN CONTINUOUS ACTION.

3. A MIND CLOSED TIGHTLY AGAINST ALL NEGATIVE AND
DISCOURAGING INFLUENCES, including negative suggestions of
relatives, friends and acquaintances.

4. A FRIENDLY ALLIANCE WITH ONE OR MORE PERSONS WHO
WILL ENCOURAGE ONE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH BOTH
PLAN AND PURPOSE.

These four steps are essential for success in all walks of life. The entire
purpose of the thirteen principles of this philosophy is to enable one to take
these four steps as a matter of habit. These are the steps by which one may
control one’s economic destiny.

They are the steps that lead to freedom and independence of thought.
They are the steps that lead to riches, in small or great quantities.
They lead the way to power, fame, and worldly recognition.
They are the four steps which guarantee favorable “breaks.”
They are the steps that convert dreams into physical realities. They lead, also,
to the mastery of FEAR, DISCOURAGEMENT, INDIFFERENCE.
