The difference between mediocrity and been highly successful is attitude and willingness to work. If you don't have the right attitude you're never going to get anywhere. But even someone with a fantastic attitude and wonderful goals is not going to get anywhere unless they're willing to work and work hard.
The first thing you need to do is decide where you want to end up; is this just a part-time venture that you're doing for fun, or is this a full-time venture that you want to put a lot of time and effort into and have it become your full-time business. Until you have decided this there's no point in doing anything. If this is just for fun you need to make some small goals and do the basics: buy things on Tripleclicks, play with the PriceBender auction, i.e. do all the basics and become a Executive Affiliate, maybe you'll even end up as a bronze team leader; but that's about it.
But if you want this to eventually replace your full-time job you need to make that decision and start doing the things you need to do to achieve it. First thing: write a business plan! Get it down on paper. Have your banker look at it and help you with it. Write goals: short-term, mid-length and long-term. Get them on paper where you can write notes next to them as to how you're doing on accomplishing.
Write a marketing plan and work on it with your banker. You need a marketing plan just as much as you need a business plan. Again you need to make room to make comments about your marketing plan as you're going along. By being able to make these plans and make comments about them on paper it will definitely help your attitude as you see how your accomplishing things day by day.
Attitude is very important in your business, but planning and hard work are the main things that will make your business work. Make sure that you have a banker that you're working with to help you get everything in order. Remember, the more you accomplish the more your attitude will improve and you'll have better success in your business. Good luck
