Why I was a Serial WSO'er

by Lazy Larry
9 replies
So I got to thinking why I didn't take action in the past with the products that I would buy and here's what I came up with the reasons why I didn't.
  1. I got "stuck" and too lazy/hard to figure out on my own
  2. Want to find an easier way to do something
  3. Thinking I'm missing out on another "Opportunity"
  4. Maybe I can relate better to another Trainer/Course
  5. Information Overload with a Product/Course
  6. As I would learn more-felt like I'm missing a piece of the puzzle to make it work
  7. And most importantly, It felt "Good" to buy something

What I learn somehow after beating my head aganist the wall for 2 years was that learning by itself is not going to make you money, only taking action will.

You can't give up, you are going run into problems somewhere or somehow, figure them out and if you can't figure it out yourself, ask someone here on the WF. Also(my wife is guilty of this) instead of thinking ABOUT the problem, start thinking about ways to solve the problem.

And lastly, I came to realize that it is NO ONE ELSE's fault but my own. You have to take responsibility and accountability of yourself and your actions.

    I hit this realization not too long ago, I knew a ton about everything but was looking for the easy way out. I sat down and came to realize that if you never put anything into action and work hard at it then it is pointless. Knowledge is only powerful if we use it! Good luck on your endeavors.

      Well said. I think when Francis Bacon said "knowledge is Power" he must have been in a hurry, because he never really finished the sentence! what he meant was that the more knowledge you have, the more you can do, which leads, in a sense, to having power. If you don't do anything with that knowledge then it becomes useless.

    That is why the business/Internet opportunity industry exists today and always will despite the mediocrity and failure of virtually every offering. People goad themselves into a lose-lose situation. They felt like they have lost if they do not order the opportunity and they lose if they do order the opportunity!

    I did the same! But with too much money to invest I did it on a much bigger scale as a serial buyer of expensive courses!

    The great thing about about learning to solve your own problems is that you build up great experience which in turn becomes an asset that can be leveraged.

    Thanks for sharing

      Frank,
      I didn't say how much I spent in my post, but like you, I probably have spent more than the average person on WSO's. I have a couple good offline businesses that allows me to invest in WSO's at will.
      Sometimes I wish I was on a limited budget like some people so I couldn't just go buy a WSO whenever I wanted to.
      But hopefully, I'm over that part of my Internet Marketing Life for good.

    Thanks for the great post.

    I agree with what you said

    Plus..I would like to add that some people can not reach IM success because of the luck of financial support and Language difference.. Even if they have the well to success.. without money and language basically you can not start IM business.


    Best Regards,
    Warrior Soul

    Correct. There comes a time in every Warriors life when they must:

    Stop Learning. Start Earning.

    It's the only way to make money.
