Good points.

You need to do two things in order to progress: read and act. Do the second thing more than the first. Reading too much just gives you a headache, and there is so much conflicting advice out there that it is inevitably better to figure out for yourself what works and what doesn't.

Completely agree. Lazy newbies ask questions that they already know the answer. I used to be that lazy newbie. I only started making money when I stopped asking lots of questions.

its not so much being lazy

i think people are scared to fail

I've asked the questions generally you get ignored. You've got to realise that the only way you'll succeed is by doing your own research. All the answers are in the forum. You've just got to look for them.

I think it's paralysis analysis that makes people freeze and not do anything.

Imagine if newbies had only 2-3 routes to getting started in IM. The lack of choice would force one to just get started.

Really it is easier said than done. Like telling a drug addict to get off drugs. The person has to discover for themselves really.

Questions from newbies aren't necessarily bad in my opinion. Now, if they are constantly pounding you with bull thats a problem. But, if they are on a forum like you said they may just be looking for some advice from someone who has made it before.

I don't think its right to ignore them completely. Give them all the help you have time to and make sure to emphasise each time that they go out and USE that advice. Isn't the whole point of a forum to help out others anyways?

wats the wrong in questioning of Newbies? if anyone search for problems in forum for someone's advice who made it before.

Doing nothing, whether it's because you are afraid to fail or because you're lazy will both have the same end results ... nothing. You have to get off your butt and actually do something to achieve any results.

All the above is some good advice. The purpose of a mentor is to guide the newbie towards creating his or her own sustainable business model.

Laziness and doing nothing will lead you no where. One has to take the Action to see some results.

All the information you need to be successful is available. And most of it is free. There are also many people who are happy to help (to a degree). But you have to share and contribute as well in some fashion.

But take advantage of the many resources and assistance available throughout the Net. Contribute your knowledge and any lessons you have learned which might benefit others. It will come back to help you in strides.

Some newbies have the problem of information overload, there is so much conflicting information out there on the internet, this can be confusing to some newbies, the only way to overcome this problem is to go into action, be focused and be consistent and never give up.

I totally agree and feel you pain. I get this as well some with a sense of entitlement that you owe them the answers.

I will give a caveat however. Since I think most newbies (not IM prodigies) would take at least 2 years to get up to speed making full time income (a lot to learn like web design, copy writing, SEO, Social Media, Infoproduct creation, Video editing etc.), if they have the money they should invest in a mentor to fast track them.

Some successful IM mentors will help you for a few hundred dollars. That money is the best money a newbie can spend IMHO. It could cut their learning curve in half.
