THE MONEY IS IN YOUR ACTION

Making money in this business is about taking action. I 'm refering to the right action that I see too many fail to take day in and day out. I was once that person that am refering to but that changed and now I'm doing ok to be modest. To pay it forward, here is some guidelines to help those that have not made any money....

The first thing you should do is make your money strategy. In other words what products or service are you going to sell. Choose only one, you will have time for upsell and expand later. Make sure before you choose, you have already identified that product or servivice as a solution to a highly recognized problem.

Now you will offer your solution in a gentle yet effective way to your prospects. Hint we are all your prospects if you offer us a much sort after solution. You have to identify your talents and skills or pay to get that solution developed.

Remember that this forum is a community therefore if you offer value, we will reward you by buying your brand or subscribing to your list. All of this takes action.

You hear all the time that the money is in the list, that's true but you've got to take action. I can tell you how to make money but I can't do it for you. Please take action!

    I'd like to add a little point here on taking action. Persistence. Don't fall victim to Shiny Object Syndrome (SOS).

    You need a plan, then you need to follow it through, this is the part then many people get to just before they stop and move onto something else.

    If you decide to try a new traffic tactic. Go for it fill tilt. Use it consistently for at least 60 days. For example if you want to try article marketing, find out everything you can about it and then write a minimum of 2 - 3 articles per day for 60 days. You'll have 120 - 180 articles.

    By this time you'll be able to make an educated decision as to whether or not it works and if it's suitable for you to carry on.

    Note only in I.M but in other fields as well. We can't get archievement if you DON'T take action.

    Exactly. This is repeated over and over but it is for a good cause. Without action nothing would ever get done.

      I like the fact that you make the distinction between "action" and "right action" - as determined by alignment with your overall gameplan. It's easy to take LOTS of action and end up floundering, but the key is to be "effective", as Tim Ferris or Stephen Covey might say.

      Ferris has a great question to ask yourself (in "The 4 Hour Work Week") on a regular basis. Something along the lines of "Am I being effective, or just 'busy'?".

      How much time daily are you putting into activities that help your business move forward?

        To make it on and offline
        *Take action
        *Be persistent
        *Never give up even if things don't work in your way
        *When online choose one program to work with to avoid distractions
        *Before coming online, list what your to-do-list on paper work or spreed sheet. we often get carried away with ads and other freebies or programs.

        The list goes on and on... hope this help?

    Yes, when you DO succeed people will call it lucky.

    However there is an old saying...

    "The more I practiced the luckier I got!"

    I agree taking action and having a set plan and goal is the right way to go. I was so focused on finding the magic button that I could not see the forest before the trees when I first started. Now I take the time and implement everything that I have learned and now I can slowly see the results. Time and real effort is all is takes.

    Patience is key along with persistence. Usually things won't happen overnight.

    Taking your plan or idea into action will definitely answers the questions in your mind like, "Will I succeed?" or "Will other people like my work?" Having doubts in your mind is a reason why people are having hesitations on making an action to their ideas and concepts. We should also try to look at the fact that, there are people who fears to experience failure.
    Now, about taking action. It is necessary, for me, that a person should take it into action that concepts, ideas and plans that he/she has created. I mean, how could we determine and see the outcome if we will not test it and try it? As what my former professor once shared to me, Education from the book is different from education from training or application. He also stated that this two must work together for a better result. As an example, a person who can memorize and understand a whole book but lacks the experience of using or applying what he learned from the book, is typically a non-productive in a sense that he/she cannot apply what he/she has learned from the book. A doctor/nurse starts as a college student trying to understand the basic information and educate himself/herself on the course that he/she chooses. Then, he/she reads the book about nursing/medicine and tries to familiarize himself/herself on it. And that won't just stop there, since acquiring the necessary information and educate himself through familiarization of the human parts, medicinal terms and names, that student will have to undergo training that will make him/her apply in real situation what he/she had already learned from the book. That is, he/she must personally experience on how to dissect a person, or probably must try to operate on a person. Learning from the book is good but it is best to apply what you have learned from the book in real life experience.
    And I would say that taking action is the final say whether you will earn money or not.
