If you don't get inspired after reading this I don't know what will

Appreciate the kind words buddy!

I've heard a lot of people have bright ideas but they NEVER capitalize on it. Our ideas aren't very unique, the truth is some people already thought of it, but never took the opportunity to take action on it.

It's true. I looked for partners many times already and we've already planned the business together. But in the end, they are too scared of what might happen, so I was left to venture into the business alone.

Many would discuss their ideas openly, and say how easy it is to make money. But 90% of the time, they NEVER deliver and they NEVER do whatever they advice. That's why I learned not to listen to the advice of unsuccessful people.

This was also true for me. I used to discuss all my ideas to all my friends, but eventually they get all pessimistic about the idea and tell me all the bad things that might happen.

Another problem with revealing your ideas is that if you fail to deliver, you tend to feel really embarrassed about it.

Jealous people most especially want to see you fail, and wait for an 'I told you so' moment.

Mostly, they fail to see that the real point of starting a business isn't just to make the money but to get the WISDOM and EXPERIENCE to be able to pursue something bigger that would make you a FORTUNE!

It is so true, I'm a newbie, at the beginning trying to share it with family/Friends, but they gave me some negative feedback.....now, just doing alone, whenever I need help/advice, will sign into Warrior Forum

Actually not easy to leave from the comfort zone, just able to do it early this month, I think I'm not too late ....

Hi Louie Sioco, is really a good article, inspired me 100%. With your article, I'm sure that I have made a right move and must keep moving on....Thank You!

Cheers

Successful people are rich. Unsuccessful people are not rich.
I don't see how it isn't obvious.

I think you are referring to Internet Marketing products right? To be able to identify if they are successful, you have to search for a review here in the Warrior Forum, because reviews here are mostly honest.

If reviews do not exist, you must ensure that they person you're buying from has a money back guarantee. If it doesn't, just don't buy it (they might have something to hide). Try out their program and see how it works, if it doesn't work for you after you've tried it, ask for a refund. They honor refunds.

If you are referring to successful people in general, there are many ways to know. Look for referrals (people whom they closely work with or possibly their apprentice). Study and evaluate their credentials. Read their blog. Check if their businesses are successful. Most successful people leave a trace for people to know.

Just do your due diligence.

I don't think anyone has ever succeeded without failing. You only truly fail if you quit.

Don't you just hate it when you have friends who also have limiting beliefs?

It's hard to hangout with people who make excuses all their lives. I think it's quite contagious.

That's exactly the point. People love to complain and blame the economy, their upbringing, the government, but they never try to do anything even if they know what to do.

That's why i do not watch TV news. Media tells us all the time that everything is bad, unemployment increases, wars going on etc. And you know, after i watch these news, my mood is really going down.
Government doesn't care what u think about them unless u pay taxes.
I don't remember when i really blamed government last time - cause those blames won't change anything, but instead of blaming you can change yourself

Working used to be the "IN" thing. But times have changed. There used to be benefits that would provide you with cashflow even after you retire (I think General Motors implemented this during the Industrial Age). However, they transformed into a compensation plan instead, which only gives you the money you put in, which means you won't get anymore cashflow when you retire.

It doesn't make sense to keep on working then. People should focus on developing a business instead because they can make a steady cashflow even if they're dead!

Hi Mark,

The problem with doing it on your own is that you will tend to stray from the actual path. Mentors are awesome because they already know the things that work and don't work, and they can help you succeed much faster. I don't know why those mentors cost a hundred. I got mine for free

Go to Warrior Contests, there is a thread there that mentors are offering their services for FREE. Why don't you give it a shot? If they see how persistent you are, maybe you can get find one soon.

Glad to help

I'll let you in a little secret... people tell you that because they either didn't succeed in Internet Marketing or that they don't want anymore competition

It's because those old tycoons also love what they're doing even though it may be boring to some. That's what many fail to see. Some people want to travel around the world, and some people like to stay at home reading financial statements. Different people have different interests.

Thank you very much. I hope you're reaching your goals, and I hope you succeed.

No matter what year it is, the trend always changes, and more opportunities are created. In 2006-2007, social networking weren't very popular. However, If you did a few social media marketing tricks two years ago, you've probably made a lot of money by now. Many may say that social media marketing isn't effective anymore, but have you tried other new tricks like mobile marketing? It's an excuse people use that you can't make money anymore.

I agree with what you said, you do have to work hard at first. The reason is because you need to learn and gain more experience during the initial stages of IM. After that, you should just work on maintenance.

Not to worry, you will attain your dream one day. PM me all about it. I'm curious what sort of IM techniques you're into.

I agree 110%!

Very well said. I couldn't agree with you more.

People look more into the instant rewards rather than the long term bad consequences.

Most people are afraid to do it. They'd rather join the herd than do things for themselves.

Thank you Nick!

Congratulations zackick! I think you should also create products in your native language, it may be a big market waiting to be tapped.

Don't mention it. Thanks for the nice feedback

Don't look at it as competition, look at it as opportunity. If you get about .01% of China's market, you'll get more than your $200 per month target. China is already rising. Just find a good niche among them.

That's a real awesome concept charidemos

They do the opposite of what it takes to be successful

I have to agree. I got lucky to find someone who mentors me for free. mentors cost a lot of money, but it's worth it if you're really passionate about it. They won't let you down especially if they see how sincere you are.

Thanks. Why? You're also from the same place?

Wow, it makes me feel happy to know that you guys are inspired.

I have a collection of inspirational videos right here:

Hey Louie, loved your well-written article, and especially the way you used the Blog feature

Merry Xmas to you buddy!

Most of us are born procrastinators. What we need is the urgency to do something.

I agree with you. When you write down the things you need to do everyday and you stick to it, you become more productive.

Thanks for your share.

Have you tried iWriter, Elance, Fiverr, Warrior Classified Ads, Digital Point Classified Ads, Craigslist, and etc?

I noticed that you're from Taiwan, it's a very affluent country. Maybe you can try to get a part time job first, and once you've raised the money, start providing writing services.
