{The Blunt Truth} Whats really stopping you from making money right now?

Does your heart beat extremely fast when you think about being poor forever?

Do you go into an acute panic attack at the thought of being forced to work for some idiot boss because thats your only source of income.

Or maybe you get periodic migraines everytime you see people on this very forum making millions with not so good products-yet you struggle coming up with ideas to even get started.

Or is it because at this current time you have little to no money to invest in order to make more--so you fear that you are unable to make any money right now?

Whatever the case maybe for you, I think now is the time to start getting your act together.

I mean you're stressed and depressed because you're broke... but I can almost bet that your answer to the following question is NO:

"Can I HONESTLY go to sleep and be proud of my actions for today?

In fact, for some of you -- the answer might be HELL NO!

remember if you spend all of your time doing nothing you'll get nothing in return.

As an entrepreneur {which is what we all are} your job is to do those hard things that nobody else wants to do in order to achieve victory in what i call the "Ultimate Trade-off".

The Ultimate Trade-off has two routes: play now suffer later -- suffer now play for the rest of your life.

The easy route. be lazy. let your low self esteem keep you from taking action. suffer from information bias(the need to always consume more info "thinking you're preparing" yet you never take action.)--the people on this path stay broke forever because they never work. They never do things that makes them uncomfortable.. They live a life of easy nothingness.

or

The tough yet narrow road to success. Not everybody can fit on this road {hence it being narrow}. This road involves hard work. dedication. Sacrifice, and life long learning + actions towards your goal. Will this person be a little stressed out? Sure. They're putting their brain to use on a daily basis. something slackers know nothing about.

This person works like a mad man or woman. But...yes oh yes. Here comes the reward. Yes my friend, the reward is such a beautiful thing to attain.

How would it feel to know that your kids can afford any university that (they were smart enough to enter :p)?

How would it feel to be able to provide food for your family without worrying about having money to keep your lights on? food or lights -- thats a tough predicament to be in (but I was there.)

How would it feel to be happy to say -- I am where I am because this is the result of my hard work. I chose to get better results. I chose to take better actions and now I can live life worry free. for the remainder of my life.

Thats beautiful.

I know some of you are scared as hell right now because you cant see yourself releasing a product that will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams.

Or you don't think that its possible for you to sell a million dollars worth of somebody else's products.

But you have to find it in your heart to transform your mind and do whatever it takes to reach your dreams. Whatever it takes.

I know how it feels to be in a fearful mind frame. I was laid off, on food stamps, and unemployment all while being a single father (long story) of two boys ages 3 & 4...I thought I was screwed forever.

Theres nothing worse than hearing your children tell you that they are hungry and you have absolutely nothing to feed them other than pancakes (yep good ol' aunt jemima..I can laugh now but it wasn't funny then.

Or how about the times I had to (unwillingly) hangout with friends and people I disliked just to leech off of their refridgerator..(that was in between the I was laid off and the time the food stamps kicked in.)

To stop a long story from getting even longer...I transformed my mind. And I set goals and i worked my ass off until i reached them.

Now I'm 27 (still single) but I have offline clients that I do web marketing consultations with. I garner between $5,000 - $7,500 a pop and could probably charge more (I'm still working on my limiting beliefs as well). I also have a cool little affiliate marketing business that is my bread and butter.

And this comes from a creatively misunderstood guy who can play the violin exceptionally well..but never learned to multiply and created his business with $11 bucks in the bank, 2 kids and no college degree.

I figured out that If I wanted to do better for myself and my family then i had to get out of my comfort zone, embrace the uncertainty and do those things that I found difficult because i hated to do them (such as writing articles-contrary to the size of this article, lol).

With that being said.

Whats holding you back?

No more excuses. Stop fearing failure. stop dwelling on the past. Just focus on experiencing success now and in the future.

"Like farmers, we must plant seeds today and dedicate our time to make those seeds sprout and grow into something that can be exchanged for a lot of money.

So start planting those seeds -- And go get that money!
