To Anyone Reading...Please Don't Do What I Have Done
My name is Dan Higgins and I am glad to be here. I been a warrior member since May of 2007 but have not been active. Shame on me!
I have a confession that must admit: I have been both a professional procrastinator and product purchaser for the past eight years. It is my own fault for not making one dime online during that period of time.
Instead of taking action like so many of my mentors advised me to do, I felt I had to wait until I had the perfect site built, or that I had to have the next latest and greatest gizmo that had just launched.
Over the past eight years I estimate that I have spent close to sixty or seventy thousand dollars on seminars, coaching programs, airfare, hotels, software and thousands of resell and private label products thus, fooling myself into thinking that I was making progress and building a business.
I was in the auto industry, as a finance director, for almost twenty years and made very good money, so I could afford it. But, just like the grasshopper in the fable, I had not saved or prepared like the hard working industrious ant did. Now that the car industry has been turned upside down and I have since lost my job, I find that I really haven't done anything except spend a lot of money and waste a lot of precious time.
I have seen over this period of time many people enter the marketplace and become very successful and very wealthy. And what have I done?... Nothing!
All that I had done for eight years was give myself information overload and lip service to every one I knew, including my family and the people that I had paid (a lot of $$$$) to mentor and teach me. When I say lip service I mean, telling everyone what my plans were or what my next big idea was. Sure I would start on a project, but I would never finish any of them, something new and better would come along and I just had to jump on it!
For that, I would like to apologize to my mentors (I hope they read this) for not taking advantage of their advice and instruction and most importantly, wasting their time. Because I never took action!
Yes, I had paid for their time, but I realize that I took that time away from somebody else. Someone that could have used it more than myself and maybe it would have made a difference in their life, were they given the opportunity.
I hope that who ever reads this doesn't follow the same path that I did, because it leads to nowhere. What ever you decide to do make sure you take action and don't be afraid to fail, because you will; that is how we learn.
For so long, I was in such fear of failing that I did nothing...I still failed, how ironic.
With that being said, it gives me great pleasure to announce today that no longer am I going to live in the fear of failure! I am taking the leap and taking action, because if I don't do it now, then I never will and I might as well resolve to get a conventional job, work for someone else and let them be in control the rest of my life.
If I fail, so what at least I will be able to look at my wife now and say that I tried. I'll just have to try again until I succeed.
I have decided to start with CPA instead of trying to create my own product, even though I have thousands of them that I could sell.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to a fool ramble on.
