Why you have no right to whine or complain!

Hi guys/girls

A week ago I was watching this documentary on YouTube about North Korea. It was about people who managed to escape this dreadful, comunistic country. Here is what struck me as I was watching the movie:

One woman made $3000 in 6 months ONLINE, in order to get the money to bribe the guards on the border. Bear in mind that in North Korea you can get killed for using the internet. You literary get shot in the head for communicating with the world via the internet.
Not only did she overcome the fear of that but also she managed to find a way to made this amount of money online. Wow! She's got my respect for life.

So you sit safely at home, with a fast internet connection, have acces to WF and whatever information you need on IM and you complain?

I read a post made by a guy who said he's been in IM for 2 years and not made a dime. Dude, maybe it's not for you or maybe if you knew you need $3000 to be free.....

Love
Jerzykaz

    I agree. The girl who made the $3,000 should serve as an inspiration for those who are having a hard time making money in their own internet business.

    Similar to the 50 cent mentality "Get Rich or Die trying" He put all of his chips in and went for it like his life was on the line. In your story her life was literally on the line.

    When something precious to you is on the line - you will do WHATEVER it takes.

    I wonder what this girl is doing now...

    It's really an eye-opener, since a lot of us here probably have way more freedom than she had.

      I wonder how she made her money primarily? Ad clicks? Affiliate marketing? 3,000 is 6 months is a lot of money. But 6 months is still plenty of time to make some decent profits.

        It would be interesting to know how she did that. I assume that as a North Korean, she can't speak English or would only have limited English langage skills. Probably she did it by doing business with her neighours in China, or some how, using contacts in South Korea.

        It would be interesting to have a link to the documentary.

        Just my thoughts,

        Jeff.

    Good story. Are there really that many people whining? There are now two threads at the top of the forum telling people to stop whining.

      A story like that makes me instantly reflect on my own circumstances.

      While my situation is nothing like the North Korean woman cited in the original post, I have still managed to make plenty of excuses with far less at stake than what she had.

      On the other hand, she had a single purpose, which caused her to be laser focused on her goal - FREEDOM. In my own life, I have bounced around from one thing to another. But it's at the times in my life when I had a single purpose that I was most accomplished.

      The lesson here is that she remained focus on ONE GOAL until it was complete. I doubt she bought a dozen WSO's and spent a few months daydreaming about them.

      More than likely she took immediate action, learned from her mistakes (and successes), then refined her methods until she had a system for generating cash. What a simple lesson for all of us.

      I'm as guilty as anybody, so I'm certainly not one to "preach". But this is something I have learned myself, and the story of the North Korean woman made me reflect on my own experience.

      I'm up too late, talking in circles Good night Warriors!

        It's all about how bad a person wants it.

        If the 'why' is strong enough, we can make things happen.

        There's another thread here about how this guy just uses his writing skills to make $4000 a month from article writing alone ... starting from scratch.

        Painfully hardworking, but it works.

        Whining doesn't change anything. Take action, fine-tuning, take more action.

    I love this post. You make a lot of sense and I hope many of the IMers out there who are feeling dejected will read this and take heart.

      I live in America. I have every right to whine and complain. Some of the highest earners; professional athletes, singers, movie stars, fortune 500/1000 CEO's, etc.. whine!

      My girlfriend whines! She's obviously successful since we are still together. My mother whines, she's still my mother.

      Anyways, the point is that we all can't stand whining.. it's for kids! Or Not! But, just because someone comes online and works hard doesn't mean they are going to make money.

      A lot of newbies are coming in under false pretenses that if you work hard, buy these courses or read tons of free information, that you will soon be self employed.

      I think it's more deception that causes the whine.

      There's many misinformed in the whine cellar. If you don't like their attitude, offer them a service. Instead of complaining about their whining, you are obviously missing out on an opportunity for both of you to succeed.
