So What If Money Was Not a Concern...

10 replies
Just a curiosity question mainly directed towards the seasoned IM's here on the WF...

If you could go back to when you started and money was not a concern (within reason of course), which avenue would you pursue directly knowing what you know now?

Hire a coder to create an awesome piece of software and put it out on JVZoo? Have a developer craft an awesome WP theme perhaps? Create your own forum or service solution?

    actually i could think of this very far back
    now i am a graduated veterinarian which is some thing i really hate
    but due to chasing money and prestige i have been mislead about 12 years ago
    and the system of education in Egypt ( my country ) took me to this end.
    and what i really loved and wanted to be is an engineer which is really very difficult to achieve now due to our education system
    so i had to think of other things i love and want to do
    and i came with a few things. i love writing novels and books
    i really want to help many people mostly by words
    i also some how loved some kinds of on line businesses and i hate some others
    so if not for money i would start writing right now and help as many people as i can
    but i have to waste some time doing things i hate to satisfy my society and get some money

      Haha I hear you I still work a FT job as an engineer myself. The pay is good and I make some extra money via Craigslist and eBay which is much easier due to the lack of free time I have.

        good for you
        the last veterinarian job i was is was less than 200$ a month and a full time job and also living in the site of work ( just unbelievable ) so , i quit after 10 days
        and i really realized that on line business in general is giving much better results than a 200$ a month
        i made 100$ a night with binary options

    If money wasn't a concern when i begun... i would start selling $500 courses off the rip. I'd go and buy the rights to a product targeted to offline small business owners, and have everything automated for me. Virtually an offline ebook operation lol. I would outsource my telephone orders, tie that in with automatic fulfillment after each sale, and automate my direct mail backend follow up sequence with a local printer. Then just wait for the cash to come in.

    However... back then, money was a concern lol. I was just looking for a way to get the heck out of dodge.

    The only thing I would have done differently is start list building from the very start. When I think of the size list I could have built, it is staggering. I left a lot of money behind. Once you learn how to really add quality subs., they add up really fast.

    I would most likely create a capture page, collect some emails and have something valuable to offer to get some affiliate commisions. I would do Facebook Marketing to get my traffic.

    I think I did the same thing until now, list building, social media marketing, selling affiliates products and stuff like that. I learned so much by doing this trip that I dont chage nothing!

    I'd repeat exactly what I did, but (hopefully) start earning 3-4 months earlier, simply by not repeating all the clueless beginner's mistakes I actually made, and I'd make sure that I start list-building on day one, rather than a little while later.

    I started my entire business with about $60 (mistakenly feeling, at the time, that I was seriously underfunded), but with hindsight there wasn't ever a point at which having more funds available would have made my income any faster, smoother, bigger or more reliable. Those things could all have happened with more knowledge and more skills, but not with more money (and certainly not by "outsourcing"). In my case.
