<p>The time was 730pm at night.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d been cycling since 630am in the morning and had already covered 151 miles up some of the biggest hills in the country.</p>
<p>And now this.</p>
<p>Cairn o&#8217; Mount.</p>
<p>1061 feet of straight climbing in 2 miles.</p>
<p>10% gradient.</p>
<p>My legs were burning before I even started.</p>
<p>This was gonna hurt.</p>
<p>And hurt it did.</p>
<p>My speed got stuck at 6 mph &#8211; lactic acid filled my legs, my lungs screamed for mercy and sweat started pouring.</p>
<p>The climb seemed endless and I was in trouble.</p>
<p>I was fading fast.</p>
<p>But there was no way I was going to stop pedalling and get off my bike at this point in the ride.</p>
<p>Failure was not an option.</p>
<p>The solution?</p>
<p>Break it down into smaller chunks.</p>
<p>Rather than focus on the entire 2 mile nightmare I spotted fenceposts at the side of the road.</p>
<p>I set myself the challenge of just riding to the 10th fencepost along the road.</p>
<p>And then the next ten.</p>
<p>And the next.</p>
<p>And eventually (around 150 fenceposts later) I&#8217;d summitted the toughest climb of the day and went on to complete the 180 mile ride &#8211; I was elated.</p>
<p>The lesson:-</p>
<p>You can achieve anything if you break it down into small enough pieces.</p>
<p>Take my friend Bill McIntosh;</p>
<p>He took the challenge of finding a plentiful source of free traffic capable of driving out millions of visitors and turning his website into a predictable profit machine.</p>
<p>At first he struggled.</p>
<p>But then he broke the challenge down into chunks.</p>
<p>And eventually, just like me, he climbed to the &#8220;summit&#8221; of this traffic mountain.</p>
<p>Bill is now showing other people the way to the top;</p>
<p>* A Japanese dude banked $173,000 profit from the same traffic source while travelling and just running his site on his cell phone. (And all this without spending one red cent on traffic.)</p>
<p>* A work-at-home mom with two kids and no clue tapped into this little-known free traffic source and is now raking in $2500 profit per day. (Seriously &#8211; she has no internet marketing experience whatsoever and anyone can have this up and running in just days from now.)</p>
<p>* A retired Aussie woman uses it to bank $200 profit a day while she&#8217;s on vacation. (Hint: It&#8217;s leveraging other people&#8217;s content and yes &#8211; it&#8217;s both legal and ethical.)</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s your turn to summit the traffic mountain in this free training with Bill McIntosh and myself.</p>
