A lot of you are NOT WORKING HARD ENOUGH!

11 replies
Ok, so there's a great thread http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...-too-hard.html that goes into some good info about working too hard. It's spot on.

However, while there's nothing wrong with it, I wanted to post for the other folks (like me) on here that are....lazier.

You're (me) not working hard enough!

Nothing, in my mind can be done by wish fulfillment. I've tried. I have a relative that likes to talk a lot about "manifesting." Fine. But after all these years, there's still a lot she's hoping for.

While she's manifesting, I'm reading a novel, and others like us are spending too much time reading posts here, or elsewhere, other folks are rolling up their sleeves and working hard.

This road can have two ditches.

On one side, you can spend too much time doing things that don't provide the most return on your investment.

But on the ditch I tend to fall into (although I do have 2 kids, one is 18 months so I get a little slack as I take care of her at home and she's a princess )is the one of too little work.

Too little "mixin' it up." I suspect a lot are like me. So help me help us to remember that there is a lot to be learned from copying what people do here both with their "smarts" and time.

Not too many people get rich by hope alone.

    Yes it's easy to get distracted or even burned out at times. I am guilty of that. You have to learn to set your hours and really work during those times. If you don't then you are just wasting time and spinning your wheels.

      This is a very important thing to keep in mind. A lot of beginning marketers are led to believe that you can earn a full time income online while you sit on your couch and become part of the furniture, I know I used to.

      I've come to realize that it takes a lot of hard work, especially when you're starting out. Getting your name out there and recognized is a hard thing to do. An unless you have the money to outsource a ton of stuff, guess who's doing the work?

      I think a lot of people come into this field thinking it's going to be easy money. But it's just like any other business. If you work hard it will pay off in the end. I'm convinced of that.

    I always think its quiet funny when I see all these people looking for a MAGIC PILL or QUICK FIX SOLUTION to success.

    The truth is, nothing beats hard work ... so buckle down and do something about it.

    And of course, a little guidance here and there doesnt help either lol.

    Any questions just let me know

      Hi Nick
      I thought I'd take you up on a little guidance but first do you actually make money through internet marketing? I've created 6 sniper sites so far but made no money!!
      I'm happy to work at it but very disillusioned at the moment. Where is the best place to spend your time to make those all important first internet bucks?

      Rick

        The verdict is out... I am guilty.

        I find myself surfing the internet for that blue pill, ever hoping to find it. Daily, I find myself telling myself that I am working on it to build my online business. But those were just a pack of lies.

        Thank you for the reminder. I will put more effort and time into actually building my business instead of kidding myself.

        I have to be more accountable to what I am doing daily...

    The idea is not to work harder, but to work smarter :-)

      Ultimately, the idea is to work smartest AND hardest...

      It's all well and good parroting cliches, but, in practice - not many people work harder, or smarter.

      In general, people are lazy...

      They hate their job because it involves WORK, and they don't want to work at something that they don't enjoy doing...

      Instead of finding (read: HUNTING, once again, this involves WORK) for a job that they'll love, they either coast along, miserable, in the job that they have - or, they leave/get fired, sit at home, watching TV and shoveling junk food into their mouths.

      Eventually, they'll get another job that they hate and the cycle repeats itself.

      NOTE: when I say job, I'm also referring to people running businesses - some people start a business that they don't love because they feel a need, rather than a desire to.

      That's absolutely right. However, to work smarter you first need to work harder so you learn from your mistakes and improductive tasks.

    I was disillusioned when I started because all the online courses promised quick money. Then when you opened the course they all said get traffic and you're set. Except, they don't tell you how to get traffic!

    So now I'm on my own. I believe in building content, then I hope to generate a little traffic. I hope this works!
