Is it just me or do you also quit after you find that it works??

That used to happen to me but then I got very focused as per the advise of many successful people here starting back in Sept. 2011.

I had realized that this was just like any of my offline businesses. You have to pick one method, one plan and stick with it until you are making consistent, sustainable income.

Then, you scale it up.

It definitely takes focus but is so rewarding when you can then be making money consistently while on vacation or every night while asleep.

Now, I love waking up every morning to a bunch of emails saying I got sign ups and made sales.

No he's not.

In truth, there are a lot of methods that make money. I think that it is great that you are trying a few of them. It will prevent you from getting in a total rut down the road.

It's like being in school, and you are good at a lot of sports - but you get bored with them.

You will however need to stick with one of them eventually if you want to see some consistency.

If you have no particular preference in one you liked the most, figure out which things you have done were the highest return on the lowest investment (be it time or money) and consider going with those first.

I understand you 100% matey, what I've been doing lately is writing down what tasks I have to do during the day. It is a fact that if you actually write them down ( on paper not a txt file!!) you will be more likely to actually do them.

You put 200 hours of work in and got 5 buck$ probably so you did this quick risk reward calculation and bingo, you thought, man, that 5 buck$ cost me like $500 and you decided to question it. It's human nature......rather than toast the success, you celebrated the hard work to get there.

That's why you are feeling like you are

  To answer your question, Ayush, no - I don't quit doing something after I confirm it works. I do the crap out of it. That doesn't mean you can't also test out other things, but you test them out on the side, putting most of your energy into building on what is already making you money.

A common disorder i must say. Everyone who makes his first pennies looks for some other ways to turn them into piles of dollars. Happened to me on a couple of occasions but i finally really its doing nothing but wasting my . I then focused the one i had expertise in and know what? I am doing pretty well now. Hope you would come out of this thing soon.

All the best

Once you get a project up and running and earning money, you should move on, but not to a new project (yet). The 'new' project should be training a VA to maintain/expand your existing, profitable, business. Once that one is on auto-pilot, or close to it THEN move to a brand new project and get that going, outsource

I might be wrong, but I will venture a guess:
Your life is too comfortable.

Sounds like IM is more of a hobby for you. Which is not a bad thing. But having other means of survival (parents, partner, day-job, etc) is a common source of comforts that lets you drop focus and look for the next challenge. If you already have money, then it may be hard to get the motivation you need. :rolleyes:

If you are getting good results (before you drop each method) then you seem to know what you are doing.

If you do not have money, then set yourself a specific goal instead of just sampling the different methods - make it a big goal(a specific sum in x months, or a new car, or your own house, something that really needs your full attention and dedication to succeed and you might get a taste of real banking from IM once the numbers add upp.

  Seriously, this does make a huge difference for most people. It can be tough motivating yourself to work on your business in a way that's outside your comfort zone when your life's circumstances don't already have you outside your comfort zone. You have to accept the idea of things being hard for a while at the beginning, because if that isn't happening, you probably aren't taking on big enough challenges.

Hello,

Try to learn to know a little bit of yourself. What others do, is not that helpful. It sounds that you are afraid of being successful. As if you say to yourself that you do not deserve to be successful. It is not a healthy attitude at all. Find a coach to help you.

All the best,
Nancy

I wouldn't label this as something "wrong" with you just that you
like challenge and when the challenge is not there anymore then
you want to move on to the next conquest. It's apparent that
you don't get your "highs" from making money but from proving
to yourself that you can do it.

A good place for you would be teaching/coaching because you'll
get to help solve your students problems. In this way you wouldn't
get bored as easily.

At least that's my take.

I don't think something is wrong but you seem to be afraid of the money thats in it in the end

maybe you just likely starting and building up a business, and once you get it to a good level than you leave it as you like the thrill of building it up rather than just running it.

You're clearly not in this for the money.

You're in it for the thrill. You like to try new things and tweak them until they work.

Me too. I love that.

And if you are a product creator, that's what you get to do all the time.

Basically, you test and you tweak and you refine and you perfect... and then you write it all down and make it into a system that anyone can use. Then you sell it.

What you have to do, and I've been working on this, is turn your day to day life into a process that content just naturally falls out of. Then you gather up that content at the end of the day, snip out the bits that aren't crap, and put them off in a "doesn't suck" pile.

When the pile is big enough, go back through it and organise everything into something coherent. Write up the glue that holds it all together, find the missing bits and pieces, and tighten it all up until you have something that will honestly help people. Then stick a buy button on it.

Over time, you develop this massive pile of stuff that doesn't suck, and a series of products that honestly help people, and money starts to fall out of the products you make from the content that falls out of your day.

And the whole time, all you have to do is keep on doing the fun part: testing and tweaking and refining new ways to make money. It doesn't happen overnight, but as it ramps up you can gradually stop doing all the stuff that isn't fun.

You sir gave me the best advice ever!! ..
Though one problem, I will have to show proof which usually isn't much and so people might not buy it.. but this advice is really good.. I am actually planning on launching a wso on 25th.. Its a method i tried to rank a video.

Also your part about thrill is spot on.. I have come to realise it myself that i might actually be in it for the thrill part.

I don't show proof. Proof is too easy to fake, anyway. The question is whether you want to learn the system from someone who has only ever used one system, or someone who has tested and refined several dozen systems looking for the one that actually works best.

I've found, for example, that there's nothing to be done about how long things take in most cases... there's no "overnight solution" to anything... but the amount of work necessary is small enough that you can spread tiny little amounts of work out over a long period of time. 30 to 60 days is usually enough to get a solid return on any system, and the key is keeping people focused on that system long enough to see it happen. Even if you CAN do all the work in a week or two, it's better to spread that work out so you only do little bits of it every day until the results come in.

You don't learn that in a week. It takes months. And most of those months, you're not making much if any money. But if you were spending all your time making money, you wouldn't be able to learn these things at all.
