Be lazy and make money....

Napoleon Hill's famous best seller we all read
says Think and Grow Rich, however, if all you do
is think then you can waste your lifetime
sitting in a corner thinking, but you won't make any money.

To make money, you need discipline, to do what is necessary.

yes you are right,the result in making money will be zero unless there is a hard work in it.if any one is is lazy and want to make money first they have to remove lazyness from them or they must think of making money.

You CAN be lazy and make money. But that stage comes after the first more important stage of hard work.

Work hard, know the ins and outs of your business, establish yourself, and you can afford to be lazy.

There are always some people who 'get lucky'.

But I find that the harder I work, the 'luckier' I get...

Haha but I hate it when marketers claim you can start making money the same day. Stupid selling tactic.

I like when something happens as a result of hard work be it negative or positive what that shows is action = reaction you have to give to get in every aspect of life. Some people are content being spoon fed but what happens when the bowl goes empty? Work and be content don't work and be miserable.

I read a lot about "working hard." But the truth of the matter is, people have to WORK SMART.

There are so many people "working hard" today but getting no where. Take the millions who are working two full time jobs and not making the ends meet.

The fact is, people have to learn to work hard at working smart.

IM can be hard work -- it IS hard work, but it is also smart work that pays off if you can do it right.

The person punching a clock all day for 9 or 10 per hour is working hard and is an honorable person -- but the sad fact is that person is only suriving (not living); the person working hard at IM or some other online venture is learning to adapt to the realities of technology to make some money.

So no matter what, you have to work hard to earn your money. But beware: working hard in not enough. Work hard at working smart and the dollars (and life security that comes with it) will follow.

A wonderful thread by-the-way. Reading everybody's thoughts on this is a true pleasure!

If you are just starting out in IM and thinking that you can make a lot of money and you're going to quit your day job, DON'T!! Do it in your spare time and after working hours, it is always a nice feeling when you get your pay check for your day job at the end of the month. Whereas you may not get even a single cent from your IM business.

You can however be clever and automate your incom streams by tactical delegation if you can build a team of people around you. I still "work" (on new products and systems) as i enjoy my work but many of my past projects are running without my attention being focused on them in any way.

The lazy believe in luck. Little wonder, lazy is a 4-letter word just like luck.
As for me, "No food for a lazy man."

I actually love what I do - so it isn't really 'work'.

However, I am fortunate enough to be able to support myself doing something that I like doing.

The perfect job - being paid for doing something that you would do for free!

In the real sense you can make money while doing nothing. To achieve that you will have to build your online business and set it on autopilot that is (affiliate marketing) recruit lots of people and teach them to duplicate your effort, build a sustainable traffic to your site and you can watch your profit soar even when you take a long vacation.

Those ads maybe reflecting the finished aspect of building a successful career and not the weary beginning.

Oh sure you can make money without working at all. It's easy. There are actually 2 ways.

1. Inherit a bunch of money and pay someone to invest it for you. Live off the interest earnings.

2. Marry someone who inherited a bunch of money and do the rest of #1.

LOL See? It's EASY! :rolleyes:

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary. So yes visualize is important, but that without an action plan is just dreaming.

I like this post, simple and to the point.

The great thing about the internet though is that you can work hard at first, and then be lazy later.

This is a popular sales gimmick that marketeers uses, being "Lazy" will end one spending thousands of dollars before you can even get any returns. For a start, i am bombarded with infos and online jargons to digest. If I don't continue to spent time and effort to explore and to learn, being "Lazy" is definitely end me with incomplete homeworks from my lecturer, my lesson will move on without me... So next time if you see these sentence, checkout how much they are charging you for the lesson and decide if you have the time for the homeworks. btw, I paid my lesson at a subsidized rate of S$290.00 only

GURU in my local language means TEACHER. So if there are many gurus lying around in the internet, they are just looking for STUPID STUDENTS as many as possible. TEACHER can make money by teaching stupid student. You are probably not their target if you are smart enough with their marketing words to enter their courses. It's really no big deal happens here. As long as this online world still provides many STUPID STUDENTS, then the GURUS will still stay around.
Anyway... we are all used to be a kind of those stupid students.
Does anyone try to tell one stupid to not follow the guru and it works? I don't think so. Because, this one stupid will not believe/trust you either. Why he/she must trust you if you can not prove yourself... better than the guru he/she is trying to follow. Who do you think you are?
That's now my point. Experience is the best teacher.
Cheers...

if in doubt, refer to rule no 1:

if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is....
