There are no shortcuts to success. Anyone who is successful will tell you that. Of course once you learn a successful system and implement it over and over again, it may appear there are shortcuts to people who don’t know what you went through to find that successful system.

Since my last post on August 10th I have been immersed in a short training phase to get back to the website creation model I actually began back in 2002-2003 when things were still rather free and easy online.

After getting into the client side of my previous service model I found it was just a little too much like having a job. I also found my time was not appreciated no matter how well-intentioned anyone was. That was impetus enough to see the need to change course. There are no shortcuts to success when it comes to planning for success either.

The products I am creating as a direct result of this course change are website focused. I build websites specifically for affiliate product sales. Right now my total focus is on Christmas as that is always the most profitable time of year for both AdSense and affiliate product sales.

I use XSitePro for several of my main sites and just love it but last year I lost the backup files for one of my main sites and now I see there is no recourse but to go in there and set it up again as it was by hand. I want it to be the same as it is right now but there is no shortcut to get it there since I no longer have the needed backup.

Thus the idea came to me that there are no shortcuts to success. It will take me the rest of the day to do it, but do it I will. There is a plan in motion now. Action is being taken. Energy will flow and wallets will be opened. I will stand directly in the path of commerce with my best foot… er, websites…  forward. There will be happy, satisfied customers just like the one pictured below (which was found through Google images).
