Excuses Have No Place In IM. (Or How To Eliminate Excuse-Making)

6 replies
One reason people give up early is because they make excuses. They are either too old, too poor, or something else that handicaps them from making money online. It's as if they don't want to succeed. It's as if they don't want Internet profits.

I started with almost no money. What I didn't do was let this handicap stop me from making money online. I could have said 'I need to build a capital first before I get started' and procrastinate. But I just took action and compromised by finding alternative strategies that do not require spending money.

Let's be clear on one thing. If you're really in such a handicapped position, you shouldn't even be thinking of making money online in the first place. Get your house in order first...

To make serious money online, you need to be aggressive and just push aside excuses and just do it. The 'just-do-it' types usually end up making a lot more money than people who make excuses all the time but don't take action.

You've just to go out there and do it and start taking real focused action.

    Actually, they have no place in any kind of business. It's just that I've seen a lot more people with lame excuses online than I ever did in the offline business world. Must be the high price of entry in the offline world that keeps out the excuse makers in the first place.

    For those who make excuses
    won't start at all.

    They will be too busy either blaming
    other things, other people...
    or too busy justifying why they
    can't start in the first time
    such as not enough time,
    too much work, too hard to do,
    no money etc...
