Are you set for success?

You shouldn't have qualms about investing reasonable amounts due to the experience gained.

I invest in the technological means that progress my perception to the next level. I have a high end home cinema and computer so I rejoice the paramount intelligence of a world distant to ours. I have installed three 4K/3D monitors in my room that flash messages that remind me of the growth that must be achieved in future terms.

The world is up for snatches, make every moment count. There's little time left.

Great questions...

Often I am hesitent to buy 'online' tools, in fact; I just asked a question on the main thread pertaining to (in essence) my fear of commitment to higher end softwares & tools available online.

Underneath my doubt, rests a confidence that through a larger financial investment, I will both appreciate, and benefit more by recognizing my comittment.

Not unlike the old sales managers who encouraged up & coming salesmen/women to purchase a new suit or buy a new car... As I believe; a shift in mindset & focus takes place in 'stepping out' of the comfort zone, and committing yourself to succeed.

Honestly, I have been 'on the fence' in taking my online knowledge to the next level both online and offline.

I've become deathly afraid of camera's, thus have yet to do videos. Public speaking... Oh God no... I got called up on a church platform completely 'unprepared' some years ago, and while something terrifying and amazing happen... I still cannot envision myself 'publicly speaking' - though I 'blacked out' and can't remember a word I uttered on the church stage, something strange happened...

Everyone clapped, everyone came up to me either in tears or in wreckless excitement, and wanted to know 'why' I don't take the stage more often.

Point being, we often don't see ourseves as others do. I know that I have multiple talents offline in several fields of trade, study, engineering things, etc...

But, online has been a blessing and a curse....

The blessing:

I know how to create sales funnels, market funnels, collect leads, sell products, and SOLVE PROBLEMS.

Not unlike reading an offline blueprint! And visualizing it through from idea to reality. I know, and can 'justify' the tools and costs needed to profit, as I have years of experience, and confidence in a familiar offline environment.

The curse:

With the internet, I started green, completely illiterate of tech skills, softwares, tools, or any marketing knowledge in the virtual world.

Now, despite a few years of hard work, disciplined learning, and the knowledge to take it to the next level...

I pannick, even when buying a tool (*not bs shiny stuff - actual tools) especially 'big ticket items' that I cannot afford annually, and require a monthly, ongoing commitment.

In closing, I already know why impart... Because in the beginning, I had no direction. Thus, I purchased an autoresponder service before understanding 'how to cultivate buyers' or follow up with them... So, 6 months would pass... Never used it!

Instead, these scattered lessons have foally 'pieced themselves' together to the point, I feel it's exactly what I needed to happen in order to learn it all.

Now, it's time to use it, benefit from it, and breakout of the 'comfort zone' which I believe will require 'overcoming' all the new old fears... Speaking publically, being trasparent, and putting it all out there.

Ironically, I am as honest as the day is long, have nothing to really fear, and yet... Have yet to fully appreciate the knowledge I intend to share, as the whole time I knew; "It's NOT about me!" - "It's about providing solutions to others!"

So why do I let fear & worry slow this process?

Simple.

Seems the more I desire to provide solution to others, the more my mind's eye finds a new problem to solve or overcome... Seems the attack insues the minute I commit to doing good for others, challenging my ability to accept... Most will f°°k you over, if given the chance...

As the movie Blood Diamond had a question;

"Do you believe overall people are good?"

Answer:

"Yes, I do believe overall people are good... Yet, my experience says edgewise!"

Dang... didn't mean for this post to be so long.

All the Best,
