No Fire in the Belly? Really surprised

5 replies
I see warriors here looking for help and mentors all the time and its great to see a community of people willing to help.

I also see so many people with NO FIRE IN THE BELLY.

People that are looking to buy a WSO or clickbank product and then DO NOTHING with it. And then complain it didn't work. Its better to be hot or COLD but not lukewarm and I see that in so many warriors.

I recently had a post in the warriors for hire section. Basically looking for a warrior to work with. I would pay $200-$300 over 2-3 weeks. The warrior finds 1 wso that fits their skill set and follow THRU.

Basically I pay them to FOLLOW THRU. So of the thousands of WSO's purchases each day I was willing to PAY someone to actually go thru a WSO and follow it to a T. I was even willing to pay for the WSO and add an additional $50-$100 if additional money was needed for advertising or whatever the wso called for on top of the $200-$300.

I would guide them along the way give them support when needed etc... (6 figure earner over last few years so no newbie)

So what happened???
1. Very little response. Really surprised thought I would be flooded.
2. Most of the response I got didn't qualify IE they didn't read the requirements anyway.
3. Most of the rest have been tinkering a while and had no fire in the belly, or IE felt they needed to focus on something else.

I got a sense they weren't at their breaking point yet. Where they REALLY REALLY wanted it. That this job/mentorship would be what they ate drank slept for the next 2-3 weeks. That this shot of mentorship/paid intern was something they really wanted.

Life is 90% showing up and acting like you want to be there.

Sorry for my rant but had to get it off my chest.

    You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. That is one kind of member here with no fire in the belly.

    Another kind are members who are burned out on trying to keep up with everything in the world of Internet marketing. Google alone could be enough to drive you crazy.

    Ultimately you have to get a virtual assistant or start outsourcing as much of your business as you can. When you regain control of your life your business will fall into place and so will that fire in the belly.

    you got a great idea; i would be willing to follow through on 5 wso at a time.....let me put it this way. i would buy, read and follow through within 5 minutes of finishing the wso.
    ==================================
    but in their defense: people have come immune to some of the stuff peddled on many forums.
    ===============================================
    anyway: i am interested....after wso are tested ....you can sell another wso saying which wso was best.
    thanks

      My sister signed up for a coaching program last year with a very successful internet marketer. She's been working flat out and is making fantastic progress but he recently told her that of 25 people who signed up (and paid thousands$$) - She is the only one who stayed with him after the first 3 months - or did anything he said. He said some of them never even started - nor did they request refunds!! I'll never understand people either!!

    Holy shit my heart got pumping reading this. I just recently became a stay-at-home dad to my new son, and was in corporate sales/marketing for most of my time in the workforce. My problem, is that I have a raging fire in my belly, all day at home, and no direction. I'm all over the place. I'm registering to several new sites a day...this is...expansive. No idea where to start. Picking 1 thing and running with 1 thing is what I need.

    I like to sometimes get WSO's to read and sometimes I act on some, and others were for reading and keeping to refer to at a later date. I do a blend to see what seems easier to begin with then I try to make a buildup to see what will actually work. Steps that seem the best to complete, I start with and blend across WSO's and their steps.
