10 Reasons Why SEO is Like an Addiction Treatment Program – Reason #7: Motivation is Crucial to Success
When patients come into a drug rehab facility, you already have a pretty good idea of who’s going to recover quickly and who isn’t. In general, it comes down to attitude. Motivation is crucial to success, and clients who are more willing to put forth the effort and are optimistic about their recovery tend to do better overall. When clients come in pessimistic, it’s likely going to be a challenging course of treatment that tests both your limits and the limits of these individuals.
This also applies to SEO. If you start an SEO campaign pessimistic about your success, it’ll be harder to put in the effort towards that success. Just like your clients, you have to be optimistic and willing to put forth the effort to reach your goals.
Getting in the Right Mindset
Motivation starts with getting into the right mindset. Don’t enter a campaign with a pessimistic attitude and a bunch of preconceived notions that are just going to hold you back. There are a few things you can consider to get you into the right mindset:
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of my facility?
- What does success look like to me?
- What sets me apart from the competition?
Understanding your own circumstances will give you a better understanding of where to begin with your campaign. Identifying these things will also help give you a better gauge on what kind of success you can expect. Some facilities will do better than others because they have some advantages and that’s okay. The key is that you don’t get discouraged and stay positive.
Staying Motivated
Staying motivated is crucial and can be hard, especially after a setback or if success takes a while. Staying motivated relies heavily on you understanding these things happen and that they shouldn’t discourage your efforts. In the same way that a person struggling with substance addiction shouldn’t quit after a relapse, you shouldn’t quit just because the campaign isn’t progressing the way you hoped it would.
At the end of the day, any number of things can affect your SEO campaign’s success. A good marketing company will be transparent with you about your strengths and weaknesses and help you tailor the best plan for your facility. Sometimes success booms, sometimes it doesn’t. The best and most important thing you can do is stay optimistic and keep putting in the effort. If you keep your eyes on the prize, you stand a better chance of achieving the success you want.[ult_buttons btn_title=”Access the Full Whitepaper” btn_link=”url:%2Fresources%2F10-reasons-seo-like-addiction-treatment-program%2F|||” btn_align=”ubtn-center” btn_size=”ubtn-large” btn_title_color=”#002b55″ btn_bg_color=”#f2f5f7″ btn_bg_color_hover=”#b7d23f” btn_title_color_hover=”#f2f5f7″ icon_size=”32″ btn_icon_pos=”ubtn-sep-icon-at-left” btn_border_style=”solid” btn_color_border=”#f2f5f7″ btn_color_border_hover=”#b7d23f” btn_border_size=”1″ btn_radius=”0″ btn_font_family=”font_family:Zilla Slab|font_call:Zilla+Slab|variant:italic” btn_font_style=”font-style:italic;” btn_font_size=”desktop:20px;” el_class=”button_drop-shadow”]
