Wow, what a wide ranging question! It can of course relate to just about anything in life, but I particularly want to relate it to starting an online business

A lot of what we do is affected by our mindset, how we feel about things. It is no different when we are thinking about a new business venture. You do the research, talk to people about it, find out as much as you can about it, but if then you don't believe it will work, it probably never will. I believe it was Henry Ford who once said "whether a man thinks he can or he can't, he is usually right."

When you start a new business, you need to believe that it will work, and keep that belief with you right throughout your journey. As with anything new, it takes time to master. If anyone has found the perfect business which immediately brings in thousands of dollars on day one with no effort required, please let me know, as I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist!

As with any new business, you have to build it up step by step, putting in the effort on a daily basis, so that gradually, over time, you build up the different layers needed to make your business successful. It is easy to stop believing, to say that this system doesn't work, if it seems very slow at first. Many people will give up at this point, as they lose their belief., but if you are following a proven system, with lots of successful people using it, stick with it, BELIEVE and it will work! Perseverance will always pay dividends in business.

And there, I think is the key. If you have chosen a business model that has proven success, such as My Net Biz, then invariably, if you follow the instructions given, put the work in, and speak to your mentor when you get stuck to get you going again, it will work. You just have to stick with it and not find your own excuses as to why you can't succeed. The mind is a very powerful tool, and needs to be directed in a positive manner.

So in answer to the original question, YES, you do have to believe it's possible, to succeed!
