I have identified my biggest obstacle which blocks my way to success

10 replies
My biggest obstacle and roadblock is the fear of investing sufficient amount of money into a project or business online.

I have never really been in debt neither do I have a loan or mortgage. I'd like to keep it that way so I'm afraid to get my credit card out (which I hardly use) and spend it on testing CPA campaigns (I know thats what I want to do).

Struggled to make any money online since 2009. I want to go the CPA way and I realise this method of making money online confronts me with my biggest fear/road block.

I'm glad I have identified this and I'm trying to find a way to beat this fear and break through it.

Has anyone else got this problem too? Or succeeded to breakthrough?

    I had this problem too at first. It was hard to spend money, when I wasn't and had never made much money online.

    The thing that cured it, was actually finally getting some success.

      I just put out a new product that is exactly what you need.... I will be glad to give you a copy I need a few reviews.. See I made some mistakes when I launched it and will be fixing them and relaunching... You can check out the sales page it is the link in my signature..

      Fear is what stops most of us from ever seeing our greatest potential.. Most of the time the fear you think you have is not the actual fear... Seek out what causes that fear what are you really afraid of.. ONe of the videos is on FEAR..

      I find one of the best ways to overcome fear is to spend some time in the mirror it is hard to lie to your face... I know it may sound funny but it is true...

      You can easily lie to yourself any other time but when you are looking at yourself in the mirror it is hard... Start by asking yourself questions... What am I afraid of? Why am I afraid of that? be honest with yourself even if you don't like the answer. then you must decide if you are willing to change those fears.... Always ask yourself is that true? when you get an answer.

      You will find that many times you will call BS on yourself and finally realize the real truth and that my friend will set you FREEEEEEEEE..... I promise...

      Hope this helps. PM me an I will get you a copy of SuccessLink

    Hey Roan, set a monthly budget, always split test and you are on your way. Fear is just another form of energy. Just Take Action! By the way, great that you've identified your fear, now get over it.

    well,

    there is no real advice i can give . knowing very little about your situation. but if you really want to do it save money ahead of time . save up the money you would spend on new courses until you do somthing with the stuff you already bought ..

      I have spent $1000's on my latest venture and it will cost a few pretty pennies more, BUT it is my own membership site with mostly my own code so I expect it to do well. I have however, been making money online since 2001. Mostly good but a few speed bumps along the way

      Personally, I don't think I would even fork out a lot of cash for CPA either. It really depends on what niche you are targeting and how much demand there is.

      Do you have a lot of experience with traffic and CPA marketing? I assume this will be an online venture.

        I do not have a lot of experience yet. Altho i do have a very good course that I've learnt so much from. It's just taking that risk and step to start spending money on it and start gaining experience.

        Product creation i have tried but i figured out you need to already be making some sort of money to talk about and have proof before itll even sell. No i think i like the quick results/data feedback of cpa campaigns better to build on. However i will have to deal with my obstacle.

    Actually there are ways to make money without spending much, but you'll have to focus on giving value first!

    If you're just pushing offers infront of people who want it (NOTHING wrong with that btw), then of course you need to spend money because buyer traffic like that is highly demanded and therefore costs $$$!

    Do you have a marketable skill for example copywriting or coding which could bring in "extra money" to invest in your business? This can be a good way to hone your skills needed for your new projects while easing the fear of investing. It's a little mind game but if you can keep these extra earnings just for business investment, you wont risk your savings.

      Hi Roan, . . . I respect your situation. You are a conservative person who is not in debt at all. There is a lot to be said for your position as it stands right now. You are quite enviably in sound financial condition, except of course you don't have the necessary campaign capital at your disposal except by way of CC debt.

      Isn't there some way you can budget at least half the necessary investment capital then borrow the rest. That way you would only be putting yourself at half risk to the debt incurred. Just a thought.

      Very best of good fortune to you, Roan.
