I’ve missed you Barry… I know you’ve been busy but so glad your project is almost complete. I’m sure it will be great.
Have I ever had self doubt? I just shot a video baring my soul with my readers so I guess that would be a definite yes…
What do I want to achieve this year? I’m headed toward success baby. I can taste it and it sure does taste good. I’ve broken through those barriers and it’s full steam ahead now. My business is exploding as we speak. Full steam ahead is where I’m headed.
I’m really looking forward to what you’ll have in store for us too Barry.
Keep up the excellent work and have a fabulous evening.

Hi Adrienne,
I’ve missed being about as well, there’s so much catching up to do when we take time out and now my hand is throbbing as well….. It never rains…. mind you I have managed to straighten it today
I’ve nearly finished the product now, just waiting for a help desk to get back to me and then write a short instruction guide for the affiliates and it’s then a case of testing everything
I’ll head over shortly and watch your video Adrienne. To hear that you also suffered from self doubt is a good thing for future readers to know. We all have the highest respect for you and by others seeing that they’re not the only one to suffer from it should give them a boost, we hope
I can feel the positivity in your comment Adrienne and it’s always nice to hear that a friend’s business is exploding (with success). Fantastic news, I’m really pleased for you
I do have a few things in store for this year but want to tie them in together and I’m still working on that aspect
Talking of which, I’ll be holding another video challenge soon but will be giving everyone a months notice and spreading the challenge over a month as well. That way I hope more people can take part and show off their skills as well as generating ideas for others to follow.
I’ll catch you up real soon Adrienne, take care
Respect and Regards,
Barry

Barry,
You post some good, thoughtful questions! Whatever I do accomplish this year, I want to feel good about, and what I don’t…well, there’s always next year. Or it wasn’t meant to be.
The idea of doing videos is intriguing but scary to me. I’m not big on speaking – I’ve always loved to write.
I’m always looking to improve my design and development skills (and to use them, too – I should be taking care of my clients now instead of blog hopping, but I get the urge to be social).
Take care,
Leora

Hi Leora,
We should always feel good about what we accomplish and you have the right idea about what we don’t. I sometimes start to beat myself up for not accomplishing things and have to remind myself of what I did get finished.
I was a little scared of creating videos at first but once I had created a couple and got good feedback it spurred me on to creating more. You don’t have to speak in them Leora you can make slide shows with music in the background.
I’ve never been big on writing myself but once I started working online I realised that I had better get used to it if I wanted to stay around
I saw the design you created for Dr Ed’s header and thought it was really good. I also liked the fact that you explained how it was created and with what tools, full credit to you.
Your clients loss is my gain and I’m thankfull that you felt like getting social over here, thanks Leora
Take care my friend,
catch up soon,
Barry

Self doubt is the devil! This year is going to be big for me. I’m following the “go big or go home” principle.
Hi Jen, welcome to my blog.
Self doubt sure is a devil. Go Big or go home is a good principle to follow.
I wish you luck Jen,

Hi Barry
Congratulations on a successful year, you deserve it mate.
You ask “what would you like to achieve this year”, well number 1 would be to see 2013!
Seriously though, my goal is to get to number 1 in my niche and stay there. This will involve building many backlinks and creating relationships with my fellow bloggers and becoming a respected commentator on the niche forums.
An addition goal is to top out on Kilimanjaro, a trip I am presently planning for July with family members and friends.
All the best for 2012 Barry, I am sure it will be even more succesful than last year if the quality of your new product is anything to go by.

Hi Bill,
First off I’d like to congratulate you for following your passion and creating a great website and products around it. I’ve been over and it looks really good, I wish you every success mate.
I know that Randy Smith has a free backlink generator on his blog at:
http://randolfsmith.com/free-backlinks-gifts-video-and-some-bargains/
It won’t take you long to achieve your goal of becoming a respected commentator Bill, you’re very good at what you do mate and have my utmost respect.
WOW top out on Kilimanjaro, that’s some goal, I know some that have tried it but none that have achieved it so the best of luck for that one
Thanks for the well wishes Bill, I’m really pleased that you like the new product that I’ll be launching soon. I’ve had some great feedback from the reviews and am now in the process of recruiting affiliates to help promote it.
Best of luck with reaching your goals Bill, If there’s anything I can do to help let me know
Thanks Bill,

Hi Barry,
I have never really had a mentor, but I’ve become friends with so many brilliant people, so I guess I can call them mentors, because they’ve sure helped me a lot. And that’s the important part.
I’m going to do a lot in 2012, and creating my own product will be top priority, a long with publishing my first novel. I’m hustling already… I know that 2012 will be a year of massive success for both of us
Too many people I talk to believe it’s easy to work online and become successful, that’s not true at all. But it’s a lot of fun, that’s what it is
Jens P. Berget recently posted..How to Name a Business When You Have Absolutely No Ideas Left
Hi Jens, Happy New Year my friend.
You make a very good point about having good friends and learning from them. I’m always learning something new from Adrienne, and many others, just by visiting their blogs on a regular basis.
I heard that you were writing a novel, Adrienne mentioned on her blog a short time ago. Wow that’s some achievement and I wish you well with it.
Didn’t you finish an eBook a short time ago? I seem to recall a new product on your blog just a month or two ago.
I agree that it isn’t easy to become successful online. I tried for years to make it online before getting a mentor to show me the error of my ways. Mind you that time wasn’t all wasted as i now know what not to do
All the best for 2012 and your projects Jens, I wish you every success.

Barry,
I have had lots of self doubts in the past and still have them. They really hold me back. I have to work really hard to get past them.
I know the feeling of sitting in front of my computer and just pretending to be internet marketing. I have done that also.
I now have a plan for the year and really want to carry out that plan.
I am working on an eBook and want to get it done in a timely matter which I did not do last year.
I will have to say that last year was a really good year for me. I got my blog up and have made a lot of advances with that. I have learned a lot and am now working through both John Thornhill’s Master Class as well as Sally Neill’s Learn with Sally.
Glad to hear you are finishing your product. I hope to be there sometime in the near future with mine.
Great post Barry.

Dee Ann Rice recently posted..Is Your Blog Backed Up?
Hi Dee Ann,
I think we have a lot in common Dee Ann. It’s only by doing what we doubt ourselves in that we’re able to move forward. That devil self doubt has held us both back at times.
I think you’ve come a long way over the last year and deserve congratulations on all that you’ve achieved. You may think you haven’t achieved much Dee Ann but I’m seeing you spoke of very highly online by some big names. We all have confidence in you and your work and I really do rate the quality of your posts, they’re so helpful to us all
I know that you’re working on your eBook and I think you’re creating videos to go with it, aren’t you?
I can see your journey taking off Dee Ann and if you stick to your plan and follow Sally and JT’s course work then this year is going to be great for you.
It goes without saying that if I can help you in any way just let me know
My product is now finished Dee Ann, I’m just writing some instruction guides for the affiliates to help them build their lists whilst promoting the product.
I’m also trying to recruit affiliates to join my Affiliate Army, which obviously I need to do before launching it all
All the very best for 2012 Dee Ann
Take care,

Hi Barry,
In 2012 I want to create my own products, build a good list, master social media marketing, start creating videos, and grow my business to more success.
But more importantly, I want to be MORE relaxed and learn not to be too hard on myself. And enjoy each day whether or not I’m working on my blog or making money.
Thank you for creating this post and the opportunity to think what I really want to achieve.
And congratulations on your new project!

Hi Janus, welcome to my blog.
By the sound of your opening comment Learn With Sally coaching will be right up your street. I learnt all that you mentioned through LWS and this year I’ll be putting it all to good use.
I can so relate to wanting to be more relaxed and not so hard on yourself. I, at times, am really hard on myself thinking that I haven’t done enough. I have to look at my daily log sometimes to remind myself of what i have done, which helps put the smile back on my face
Do you write a daily log Janus? If not just write down what you have done each day and log the times you were doing it. I find it really helps me.
Thanks for visiting me and leaving a comment Janus, I’ll be over to your place very soon
Take care, Barry

Thanks Barry, I’ll check out LWS soon, it sounds like a quality program.

I’ll be back soon!

Oh I’ve got self-doubt. I’m looking at people out there that literally blow me away and are willing to work for $10.00 an hour. And buddy ……. I’m good!!!
However, I’m now looking into new postions as we speak:
1) Carnival Barker
2) Circus Ticket Taker
3) Trapeze Performer
4) Snow-Cone Artist
Anything that will pay more than $10.00 an hour ………

I like your 4 choices of work although I’d have thought Ring Master would have suited you better. You’d get a big tall hat, bright red coat and a whip

Hi Barry,
Yes, creating your own product and videos is really something any blogger/internet marketer should do. It does take work though, and you’ve been working very hard with Sally and applying what you’ve learn this past year.
Can’t wait to see your new product
Sylviane Nuccio recently posted..Is Guest Posting Worth It?
Hi Sylviane,
It does take time to create products and videos but i agree that we should all be doing it. Even if only for a few hours a week or maybe a chapter at a time.
I’ll be having a video challenge soon and will be inviting everyone to take part so as to show off their skills
The product is coming very soon
Take care Sylviane, catch up soon

Got some cool stuff in the pipeline then Barry, it looks like it mate good luck.
I was just saying to Adrienne earlier at my blog, my list just gets longer and longer. I’m going to get info overload soon.
For the moment, I have a product out end of Feb with JT which should be good. A PLR Monthly webinar with Dave net week. A mid year product launch and then maybe or hopefully a full coaching plan by the end of the year.
I also racked op 1125 hits on one of niche sites yesterday and it’s still spiking, so the signups are coming in and so are the Adsense earnings. I have decided to ramp this up too. Busy Busy Busy at the moment mate.
Good luck on your product launch Barry
Dan
Hi Dan,
I hope that Christmas and New Year went as well as they could given the bad news you received just before the holiday season.
I do have some cool stuff in the pipeline Dan and as you said to Adrienne, the list just keeps getting longer and longer but we’ll get there mate
You certainly do have some good plans for the year. I look forward to seeing the products when they become available. The coaching sounds interesting Dan and I know you have loads of skills to show people, as I’m on your list I know i’ll hear all about it first and look forward to doing so
1125 hits in a day is impressive Dan and the results sound really good to, congratulations.
I’ve got some catching up to do over on your blog Dan so hope to see you soon.
Take care,

Hi Barry,
Great to be here and read all these comments. As a newbie there is so much I want to achieve this year but I feel I have already learned a lot. Right now I am concentrating on Sally Neil’s 12 week plan. Thanks for the recommend, she is certainly a lady with a great story.
Also, I have just done test video on my Canon 5D Mk II as that’s one area I want to explore.
Anyway, Happy New Year to everyone here, wishing you all success for 2012!
Rob.
Hi Rob,
You’ve made a very wise choice Rob. Sally Neill is an excellent mentor that will have you breaking off those newbie chains in no time at all. I can’t sing her praises loud enough Rob, as you’ll soon find out the Lady rocks!!
It’s good to hear that you’ve started creating test videos, that’s the spirit mate. One tip I found useful was to talk to the camera before turning it on and run through what you’re going to say in the videos. It helps take away the nervousness mate
Sally also covers videos during the coaching and has some excellent tutorials.
Thanks for the well wishes Rob, like wise mate I wish you every success for 2012
Take care,
Barry

Hi Barry,
Self doubt, my middle name! But I will get it conquered, certainly as far as Internet Marketing goes. I already have plans for my first ebook, and simmering on the back burner a powerpoint type presentation.
I don’t have an official mentor yet, but like Jens said, we all have great friends around. I will get a mentor for more intensive help once my bank account goes from red to black.
Good luck in 2012 mate, you deserve it,
Barry
Hi Barry,
We’ve all suffered self doubt at some point mate, you’ll soon overcome that Barry and I aim to help with that
I have some “stuff” coming up that’s going to help you with your first eBook and I have plans to show people all about creating Powerpoint Presentations, the right way
I know what you mean about money in the bank and being in a position to cover the mentoring and you’re right about having friends online that’ll help…. as I said above I aim to help with that
More on that later Barry, stay tuned mate……
This year we’ll both make progress with what we want to do
Take care and stay tuned,
Barry

Great to hear you still forging your path online and not resting on your 2011 laurels.
Self doubt was a steady bed fellow through out most of December but with thankfully no backup plan, I had no option but to get back into the IM saddle and work out ways to make 2012 my best year.
Like you said now is the only time to get our pet projects back on the road.
Look forward to seeing your latest project

Hi igor,
Having learnt so much from Sally I can’t sit back now mate
I’m sorry to hear that December was so bad igor but pleased to hear that you’re back in the saddle and working out ways to make this year your best. I know that you’re going down the video route and congratulate you on that mate. I love video creation and aim to do a lot more myself this year
I’ll be holding another video challenge in the near future and will be trying to get fellow marketers to show off their skills, (more details on that at a later date), and I hope to help make this year special for us all.
Catch up soon igor,
Take care,

I want to finish a product that I started last year! I put out another new eBook recently and got that on Amazon.
And I need to break some old habits and get back into the swing of things. Oh and of course making more videos. I just got done making one today about scrapbooking software that I am going to be giving away (kinda off the subject) but it is a start, I guess.
My goals that I had made on my first New Year’s post I guess were not well thought out and have to figure out how to get from a to b – still don’t know, honestly…as I am going through some rough stuff…but I want 2012 to be a big year for me…think I just need some kicks in the butt to get there
Too bad someone didn’t kick me in the butt last week and say “What are you thinking?” cause I really goofed on one of my goals in a big way! Oh well…it will be ok, I hope!
Good luck with your product launch – I see you are getting ready to set up an affiliate program – that is awesome!
Keep in touch, ok!
Linda
Hi Linda,
Congratulations on getting another product on Amazon, that’s a great to start the year
Creating videos are great, I love them, and it doesn’t matter what you’re creating them around as long as you’re creating them.
I think most of us have bad habits we’d like to break. I’m still trying to go on a distraction diet and focus on what is important first and then deal with the lesser important things once I’m done.
I’m sorry to hear that you think you’ve goofed on something Linda. Is it anything you can go back and change? When I get a chance I’ll head over and see the post you’re talking about and see if I can help in any way. Don’t know when that’ll be though as I’m really trying to finish the latest project, but I’ll try and get there real soon
I am trying to build up the affiliates to help me promote the product. You can join my Affiliate Army if you wish to promote it Linda: http://barry-wells.com/affiliates/
I’ll be heading your way soon Linda,
Take care and stay positive, you’re doing great

Barry great inspirational post as always Barry, and happy New Year to you, it’s better late than never
Going back to your question do you ever suffer from self-doubt? Well for me I tend to feel self-doubt when others doubt what I’m doing will work and I get that an awful lot I’m sorry to say. It makes me question whether what I’m doing is worth the while at all as a semi-professional blogger, trying to make a living from blogging.
But this only lasts a few hours if that before I’m back in full swing again. I think being able to come to blogs like yours and Adrienne’s blog, are real motivational boosters for me personally and I’m sure I speak for many too.
Two of the things I’d love to be able to achieve this year is to have my own product worth selling and the other is to generate more sales without having to increase traffic largely, though increased traffic would also be nice.
Fabrizio recently posted..Publicity and Marketing Predictions for 2012
Hi Fabrizio,
Happy New Year my friend
Fabrizio I also had others thinking I was wasting my time online and doubting me, which in turn made me doubt myself which I think is what held me back for so long.
When i was in the pub telling my mates what I wanted to do I’d see the looks they gave each other, as if to say “yeah right another jerk that thinks he’ll make it online”. About a year ago I bumped into an old friend who asked what i was doing these days and when i told him he just raised his eyebrows as if to say say the same “jerk wasting time” kind of thing.
Some people just don’t get IT mate and they’re the ones still doing the same stuff today that they were doing when I was seeing them in the pubs, moaning about everything and never doing anything to change things.
If things don’t change they stay the same
The best way to deal with the people that doubt you is to show them you can do IT by doing IT. IT takes time Fabrizio but if you keep pushing towards your dream it will come.
Ahhh thanks for the compliment Fabrizio, I’m really pleased that you find motivation on my blog, thanks. I have to say that Adrienne is a star, she’s my favourite blogger of all time
I have a product launch coming up soon that is all about creating your own products Fabrizio, stay tuned for that mate
Traffic: Have you got your Social media accounts set up? If so they’re great for traffic and can be fed on autopilot from your blog comments. I created a video showing people how to do this: http://youtu.be/BbYuFyH9GA4
There’s also a free video, MP3 and eBook available from one of my sites: http://www.trebleblogtraffic.com
I hope they help you mate. Remember not to let doubts make you doubt yourself and prove them wrong by doing IT Fabrizio

Hi Barry,
Happy belated New Year mate. Was just reading over your post and could totally relate to what you were saying about the ”wasted years” I too played at being an online marketer for a couple of years before really getting my head down and making things happen for myself.
It can be a lonly old place when your first starting out in online business and without anyone to push or guide you, you really can find yourself going around in circles without really getting anywhere fast.
In fact I remember the summer of 2008 really well, it’s when I had just got started in online business and was working from home. It just so happened that it also coincided with Euro 2008 and I actually found myself watching around 3 games a day without ever really putting pen to paper or moving my online business foward at all.
Anyway I’m glad that has all changed now and one of the main reasons it did was that I found myself a mentor just like you did. It makes a massive difference when you have someone there to guide you and provide you deadlines and it’s something I always recommend to my new readers.
Anyway, glad to see you are doing so well. Keep up the great work on your blog, it looks awsome!
Steve Wilkins.
Steve Wilkins recently posted..Your Questions Answered
Hi Steve, Happy New Year mate.
Our paths do seem very similar Steve, wasting years going in circles and never really getting anywhere. I liken it to a dot to dot puzzle without the numbers and never being able to join the dots to form a clear picture
It sure is a lonely place to be and without the discipline needed I tended to look for distractions when things got a little complicated. With nobody to answer to I was free to do as I pleased and quite often done so…… Not the way to build a business, is it?
I also remember Euro 2008 Steve, I had bought a few hundred England car flags before they missed qualification and you know what happened next. Needless to say I didn’t make a single sale
A mentor does make all the difference to every aspect of building a business. Focus, discipline, direction and numbers on the dot to dot puzzle. Like you Steve I recommend that people get a mentor and stop struggling alone in their bubbles, that’s just a waste of time and effort.
Thanks Steve.
Take care mate,
Barry

Hi Barry,
Good to see you had a good year last year! I have enjoyed watching you grow and improve.
You shouldn’t doubt yourself anymore! You are very capable of creating your own coaching very soon I am sure!
It is funny how things work out. I started my online journey in July 2008 when I first took JT’s original coaching, and for the last few years until @Aug last year I have been studying part time trying to crack this internet marketing code following bells and whistles.
However in Aug last year, my daughters part time day carer had a baby and my little one was back home in full time care with me. This meant I had very limited time online.
At first I didn’t know what to do, but then I got thought about planning this business out. It was the best decision I have made. Having a plan on what to do keeps you focused, it keeps you in check and stops you getting side tracked.
My plan will take about 18 months to implement, it is going to be a slow process, but I do know that once all the foundations are in place I will have a rock solid business in the future.
This year is all about email marketing and list building for me. Every one will say you have to list build, however I also believe you have to set up the email campaigns to build a relationship with your list first. There is no point having a big list if we don’t stay in touch with them.
Speaking of which better get back to creating templates.
See you back here soon!
Cheers
Jacinta

Hi Jacinta,
Were your ears burning? I was being interviewed yesterday and during it I was asked how i first came across Sally Neill, which of course was during the 100 Blog Comment Challenge that you organized
Self doubt for me is now a thing of the distant past Jacinta. I do plan of having my own coaching in the near future, which is purpose of this post. To put the feelers out to see what people want to achieve/create this year. I have something in mind and once I’ve finished my current projects I’ll be putting it all together
Sorry to hear about your daughter’s day care coming to a stop. Kind of threw a spanner in your works didn’t it…. But every cloud has a silver lining and now you’re planning everything out for the future, which is excellent Jacinta.
Like you said, having a plan helps keep us focused and disciplined on what to do and when to do it
18 months isn’t long Jacinta, and like you said you’ll then have good solid foundations in place. Like they say “Rome wasn’t built in a day” and the coliseum is still standing thousands of years later.
You’re very wise to get your email campaigns set up first and so build the all important relationship with your subscribers. It goes back to the Know Like and Trust aspect that we all need to build for our long term success.
I’m on your list Jacinta and I look forward to seeing it all unfold
Best of luck with everything mate
Take care,
Barry
PS. How’s your nephew coming along now? Still making huge progress I hope.

My biggest goal for this year, Barry, is to get my latest product finished. It’s the biggest product I have produced so far, with a combination of documents and videos, so there’s lots to do. I am ploughing through Sally’s replays to learn more about video production, and that is taking some time as I need to practise each step a few times before I get it right. I’m a slow learner! Good luck with your goals, Barry, I know you’ll take great steps this year as you are already on the right road.
Enjoy the journey.

Dear Barry,
I love these focus-goal times of the year where people really delve into what it is they’re going to achieve. I’ve been calibrating myself over the past several months because that’s just how I roll. I’m not much for resolutions, because the word implies a sort of “fixer” to a problematic situation…I’m more along the lines of your mindset here. I am purpose-driven and believe more in setting true intentions which I follow through with.
I started working these intentions around late October of 2011, call me an early bird! lol What I’m working toward is more visibility in terms of what I bring to the internet marketing world and to newcomer bloggers in the community. I aspire to be a more widely recognizable go-giver, in the style you present, as well as one of my faves, Adrienne Smith.
I also am working toward a very exciting personal project which I’ve been working on for a few months. This is a marketing funnel system for my primary business which I’m building at this time and turning into a training membership and mentoring program for those who are working with me in my primary business.
Thanks for giving me a place to sound off and share!
