number #1 reason for not making money

10 replies
Not taking action!!

period!!

if your still looking for "how to make money" there are already plenty of websites, forums, ebooks, memberships, articles, i can go on, but you get the idea, that is more than enough to show you how to make money with it.

so the problem isn't about "lack of what to do do, or dont know where to begin"

it is lack of motivation, lack of action that is the number 1 cause for the vast majority of people not making money.

so, if your reading this, dont waste your time, just start somewhere.
it doesn't matter. as long as your willing to commit to it, and dont give and and keep on learning, you'll succeed no matter what. Guaranteed!!!! and plus it's free!

so the next time you start thinking of making money, just remember that it's easy to figure out where your stuck, that it's not no where as hard as you think. think average people who made money just like you. they were people too! they started at the begining to.

no one ever fails. they just stop trying!

so this is my urge to you that just start somewhere, any where is better than somewhere. isn't that how the whole things work? kinda ironic if you think about it.

usually your starting something, and before you know it, it becomes a natural habit, as easy as picking a toothpick, once you get used to it, and you wonder why you thought it was "impossible" or "how the hell i'm going to do this?" later on.

seriously, it much simple, and easier than it looks.

our mind can play terrible tricks on you. it can make us think that it is much hard than it really is. just like the first time you start something. it looks hard, and difficult at first. you wonder "am i ever going to get this?" and before you know it you have many question going to your head. don't listen to it!

have courage, believe in yourself.

whenever in doubt, say to your self, its much simpler and easier than i think it is. argue with yourself. really!
talk yourself into "others have done it, so can i" "ill just learn from them"

pick a "talking point" that works exclusively for you.
start thinking what is works for you. what is it that will motivate you.
ask yourself. come with a plan. think!

just do something, and you'll be glad you did. praise yourself.

    Don't mean to bring a cloud to your uplifting post, but:

    a) There has been a million "The no. 1 reason why..."/"Why people fail" threads in recent times. Probably could have been filed under one of them.

    b) Probably more suited for the self-improvement forum.

    Taking action is without a doubt the most critical step in making money online. Period. I have handed a few people the "keys to the Lambo" only to watch them not get in the drivers seat.

      I'll go one step further, as an Internet marketing consultant, I find that the bigger issue is consistent and daily action that is directed toward their goal. Many of my offline business clients spin their wheels doing conflicting things. They get confused or frustrated and try something else.

      When I take them by the hand and give them a to-do list, it makes it easier for them. They just have to follow the formula and keep on track.

        You are right. It's easy to get distracted and lose focus. Then you
        start to focus on your problem instead of focusing on a solution.

        Suddenly, you are going nowhere fast. You look at the time and you've done nothing.

        I'm gathering a sort of checklist now from this forum. A way of doing
        things. Picking one way that works for me and doing it every day.

    "I think there is something, more important than believing: Action!
    The world is full of dreamers, there aren't enough who will move ahead and begin to take concrete steps to actualize their vision."

    W. Clement Stone

    I learned this the hard way, I had to know when to stop learning and when to take action. And when I did did finally take action everything changed.

    I think no action has a large crowd but among those who took action but failed are those with mind set flaw (lack of many properties that comes from mind set)

    cheers

      Great post ... take action and whatever you are
      doing becomes natural for you.

      Once something becomes natural, your subconscious
      actually starts helping you through it, instead of
      sabotaging you.

      So the moral is, TAKE ACTION and just keep going,
      success is inevitable!

    Totally agree with tdpubs. Reminds me of a quote "What have you done today, to put you where you want to be tomorrow?" Consistent, daily action toward the end goal.

    Creating money (as I love to call it), can be as easy as picking it from a tree.

    Problem is, you have to jump a little bit to reach for it.

    most people don't believe they can jump let alone come back to the ground
    with the money in their hands.

    Creating vast sums of money for oneself takes FAITH and BELIEF it's possible.

    Action...is just a natural step to getting what you want because it's FUN to do.

    When you make money online, it's just a matter of doing more of what you already
    believe now will work over and over for you.

    The idea is to have faith in yourself, and the idea that several thousands a month
    is possible BEFORE it happens without a 9 to 5 job to support your way.

    It really is easy...and I swear by it.

    I think the #1 reason for not making money is laziness and not taking action. When it comes to internet marketing it is about building good quality sites.
    Staying positive does help as well.
