PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT IT IS TOO EASY
People actually believe the hype!
If you are new to this arena, please be warned. There is so much hot air and hype surrounding making money online that sometimes it clouds our common sense and befuddles reason. We are dazzled by the screenshots of swelling bank accounts, video testimonials of thousands of dollars created overnight, and an army of other inflted promises that generally are either unsubstantiated, or the result of several unspoken factors (such as an existing list of buyers, connections with the right places and the right people, an unlikely strike of luck and fortune, and a bunch of other elements that make up the success equation). Don’t be swizzed.
Yes, it may happen. Yes it can happen. But it probably won’t unless you're picky. You will actually need to apply some wisdom and work, just like any other profiable job, in order to create a solid, real and sustainable stream of income. With a realistic mindset, a dose of patience, and the heart to create something of real value for others to enjoy, it is absolutely inevitable you will make money. But this is generally not a one click transaction.
Come with an expectation of great things, but also be ready to work to see it happen (usually progressively, step-by-step).
PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT IT IS TOO HARD
Many people fail to recognise and share their value online because they think that it is too hard or complicated to do so. They believe that the technical aspects of setting up a website, an eshop, a membership site or even a simple Paypal account are the exclusive bastion of the super genius, and that mere technically challenged mortals are destined forever to be the consumers not the the suppliers.
But technology has moved on. It is super easy, with a little education, to do any and all of the above, even if you have virtually zero online experience.
PEOPLE FOCUS ON THE MONEY THEY CAN GET, RATHER THAN ADDING VALUE THROUGH THEIR PRODUCTS
A transaction between two human beings should always be an exchange of value.
Too many people enter the online market place with $$$ in their eyes, focused on what they can get, rather than a heart to honestly share and add value - focused on what they can give. Money mindedness lead to shoddy products and even more shoddy relationships. A value mindset invests in the customer, understanding that what we sow will always be reaped many times over.
A generous man or woman will always be watered, and supply will never dry up.
The online world is replete with charlatans - don’t be one of them. Think carefully about the gifts and talents, and the unique knowledge you carry in your spirit, and share those skills liberally with the world. As you do so, people, and their money, will naturally be attracted to you.
PEOPLE TRY TO DO EVERYTHING, AND BE EVERYWHERE, AND WIND UP NOWHERE DOING ZIP
The money making opportunities that are open to us right now are so many that sometimes we can be caught in whirlwind of busyness doing a multitude of things, rather than concentrating on just a few things that really encapsulate our value in a tangible and substantial way.
This one says Facebook marketing, so we run over there; that one says Google adsense, so we throw up an array of second-rate sites plastered with ad bars and banners. Then we hear that Twitter is the herald of a new business age and we Tweet our socks off with no real clue why we are doing it.
STOP!!!
Figure out where you fit in the big picture. Settle into what comes naturally for you, and truly flws from your inner person, and become very, very good at that, rather than a complete novice at 10,000 opportunistic possibilities.
Don’t get flshed away with a thousand promises of instant richess. Instead, flourish in your chosen field.
