"Part 6: Jason James In Search of Heroes Interview" by Ralph Zuranski
Ralph Zuranski: Yes, it’s important to have positive thoughts. Do you feel it’s important to make positive statements about yourself, the type of person you are and your goals?
Jason James: I think it’s important to make statements for me personally. I write stuff down all the time. I keep goals on paper and I have post-it notes all over the place.
Jason James: Right in my office, on a big huge piece of paper I have characteristics of success. Things like determination, commitment, dedication, discipline, courage, so I have stuff all over the place with sort of positive affirmations.
Ralph Zuranski: Do you feel that it takes courage to pursue new ideas?
Jason James: It does take courage. Like I mentioned earlier I’m in the middle of a product launch right now. It was very hard for me to get started because as you get started and are working really, really hard on something you don’t know where it is going to lead.
Jason James: You aren’t sure of if you should even be doing this. Is this doing to work? Should I be doing something else that is going to make me money? It’s just very hard because when you are working hard on something, like for me in this new project I have thousands of affiliates who have said they will help me promote this thing.
Jason James: I have 20 different contributors who have made a video for this web site I’m putting together. There are times of doubts where I’ve invested all this time and money and is it really going to work out? Is it going to happen for me?
Jason James: So there are always times of doubt and I think it’s just important to just take each day as it comes and keep working hard towards your goals and put the rest in the hands of God.
Ralph Zuranski: Do you think it’s important to be willing to experience discomfort in the pursuit of your dreams because, just as you say, whenever you have a dream and you are pursuing it there are times of doubt and discouragement.
Jason James: So how important is it to be willing to experience that discomfort?
Jason James: Nothing great was ever achieved without some discomfort involved. If you want to be successful in online business, for example, you have to step out of your comfort zone.
Jason James: You have to attend live seminars. You have to email people. You have to get on the phone if you want to arrange a joint venture or something.
Jason James: It’s an American thing, I think, to be lazy and find the easy way and expect things to be done for them. It’s very common in our society.
Jason James: If you want to be successful I think it’s very important to step out of your comfort zone and do the things that are difficult for you, whatever it may be.
Jason James: I think when you are doing something worthwhile you are going to experience discomfort. There are going to be things you don’t want to do. I think that is just natural and if you work through those things you will be better in the end for it.
Yours in success,
Jason James
