The Close Minded Way to the Poor House
However it's interesting to see how people respond when they aren't 100% clear as to what a product is. It shows a lot about their mind set and chance for success.
"Is it about selling on Ebay?" = I don't want to sell on Ebay.
"Is it about writing an ebook?" = I don't want to write an ebook.
"Is it about selling on Craigslist?" = I don't want to deal with Craigslist.
"Is it about CPA?" = I don't want to do CPA.
"Is it about creating an WSO?" = I don't want to do an WSO.
"Is it about ______?" = I don't want to do _____.
We all have our preferences - our "druthers". But being closed minded and limiting what we're wiling to do - especially when broke - can be a sure fire way to stay broke. It in effect says - I'm interested in talking about/thinking about getting unbroke but not committed to really doing anything about it.
Many times the very thing that people prefer not to do or try is what they need most. For example they don't know much, if anything, about CPA so they'd prefer not to do it. The preference is because they don't know - not because it's bad, a scam, unethical, etc. They'll never know until they find out. Investing in some knowledge in a case like this may open up whole new worlds of opportunties to earn good money. The same could be said about any unknown way to earn money.
And in this post I'm not talking about taking the shotgun approach, dabbling in a bunch of different things and not mastering any of them or anything like that. I'm talking about if you're really committed to working from home, retiring, earning some extra cash, getting out of debt it's okay to be closed minded AFTER you have the facts.
Your thoughts? Agree or disagree.
