A cure for the unsuccessful!

I just wanted to share my cure i found for when i was unsuccessful.

I use to search for the magic pill wanting to be successful online overnight not realising i was shooting myself in the foot.

What i eventually learnt was you have to provide what people are looking for, and most people are looking for a product/service that will fix their problem.

So i thought if i can become skilled in a certain area then i increase my value to others.

from then on i sought to become skilled in seo and blog building (just my areas of interest), and many doors have opened for myself since i focused on obtaining skills rather than making money.

So to anyone who is chasing money instead focus on obtaining skilss that others are seeking for, become not good but excellent at what you do and love it with a passion.

then as they say the money will follow.

    Thanks Steven, wise words.

    Chase money and it will flee, similar to when you chase anything. If you want money provide a valuable service to others, and fall in love with this service. Having a passion for what you do moves your mind away from chasing money. When your mind is off money, money flows to you more easily. It doesn't like being chased, it would much rather arrive on its own accord.

      Yes, I agree with what youre saying. But indeed, we also should have creative strategy of earning money. There are many smart people, but not having good income, not because they're lazy or unskilled, but in this demanding world, being smart and skilled are not enough without creativity.

      Creative to stand up when fall.
      Creative to find opportunity.
      Creative to spend your time with God.
      Creative on helping others.

      Then money will straight away follow.

        I agree with what you are saying to a point, not all people are creative and these people must hire creative people to do their job. So in a way if you are smart enough and skilled enough to run your business well and hire the right people then you will be successful.

        Please don't think that i am contradicting you all i want to say is that there are more ways to skin a cat!

        many people when they are told something like creativity is a key ingreident to being successful will freak out because they don't beleive in their own creativity. So i just wanted to get the idea that, work on your strengths and hire people or outsource the jobs that you arent good at!

        Ditha what do you think?

          Yes, I think that is kind of creative ways that ppl most do. But everything starts with small things, doesn't it? Let's starts with what we can do. Do the best and be creative to see any opportunity to expand our business.

          I believe everyone they aware of it or not is born with creativity, in every different way that they have. Now, it's our job to develop it and make it as good capital to earn money.

    It is always so great to work with someone who has pursued an area of expertise to such a point where it has become passion. Their enthusiasm is infectious and indeed 'work' becomes fun again.

    this is so true...I love my job because I get to share with others my expertise as a web consultant. If I was looking for money, I don't think I'd be where I am.
