Just Like MTM, I'm Going To Make It After All
As you can see, I have been a member of the WF for a long time...(ok, so I don't have a picture up yet!). I have bought many shiny baubles from many different kinds of sellers from the John Reeses to the $6 WSOs. Like many of you I have spent thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars. Each purchase was going to help me learn to use the internet and make me money. However, I am technically challenged. I'd buy the products and didn't know how to use them. I understood needing to know my strategy, my marketing plan, and my business plan. I have enough software, ebooks, videos, audios, etc. to do just about anything I want. I can come up with a beautiful marketing and business plan, keywords, etc., but I didn't know how to put together a webpage or add adsense or put up a blog. I didn't know how to do the blocking and tackling. I knew the plays to call, but not how to get all the players doing their jobs.
Lots of people don't have a strategy or business plan, and I understand that you must have the end in site before you really start anything. But just like I might have a great plan to cross the British Channel, I'm probably not going to go very far without a pretty good boat -the technical stuff -to get me across. What I'm trying to say is that I finally found somebody that is teaching me how to build that boat. And what a boat I'm beginning to build. I wish I had done this years ago rather than hoping the next new shiny product would get me there.
I can't tell you how proud it made me feel last night when I was able to put Adsense code on a blog of mine. I know to all you expereinced warriors out there, it might sound like my goals are set pretty low, but I have to believe that there are many others out there that are in the same "boat" as I am. They get the big picture, it's doing all the things like building websites, blogs, adding the Adsense, info capture pages, etc. that is standing in their way. And I'm not going to spent $1997 to find out how to Outsource it all!!!
If any of you are in the same situation I was in before I found "my personal guru" - thanks, B - don't give up hope. Look on the WF to see if you can find someone that you can pay to help you learn the technical aspects of the business. You will feel so happy and relieved that you are able to understand and do all the things that you need to do from a technical point of view even if you do decide to outsource. I can't even begin to tell you how good it feels.
I have a long way to go to finish the boat; it's taken a lot of hard work, but I'm going to make it after all!
Thanks for listening,
Barbara
