Everyone wants to be the next John Chow, making tens of thousands of dollars a month and living the dot Com lifestyle, but how many people do you personally know that actually do?
Is it that John Chow and other Internet celebrities posses secret unknown powers that give them the ability to do things that we can’t? Or maybe the idea of making a living online is just another fantasy that pops into our minds every now and then, and that everyone else who makes a living online just so happened to have luck on their sides.
I hate to break it to you, but no, you don’t need secret powers or an Encyclopedic knowledge to making a living online, the secret is actually something much more simple than that…
Start taking action.
Yes, no matter how obvious it might seem, the true secret of making a living online and being successful at everything else in life is to start taking action.
A few weeks ago, I was the type of person that would read about some awesome new method that could make me thousands, think about it for a few minutes, then forget about it and move on to the next one. I continuously made up excuses that the method was too hard, or that it might not work, and that I had no time to do it, I was wasting hours and hours of my time everyday doing nothing. Then one bright summer day, I finally decided that I was going to start taking a new path, I was going to start taking action.
In my opinion, procrastination is one of the worst things a human being could possible get addicted to. It is the act of postponing things, telling yourself that “You will do it tomorrow”, only for the next day and the day after to come with nothing being done. Do you know who procrastinates? Losers. Yes, they keep telling themselves that the perfect day will eventually come and when it does they will start working on all their goals and making all their dreams come true. Yet that day never comes, and all their dreams remain nothing but dreams.
Setting goals and a time frame to complete those goals is one of the most effective ways to deal with procrastination. When you set yourself a goal and a time limit, you start to have clear path of what you need to do and when it needs to be done. If you want to make $10,000 this month, then you know that you can’t afford to stay in bed the whole day and not work.
Do you think that all the billionaires out there made their fortunes by staying in bed and wishing for the best? No. They got up to work everyday and faced hundreds of problems but eventually overcame them to finally reach where they are now.
It’s OK not to reach your goals when you have tried your best to do so, but that doesn’t mean you can play games for the whole day and then cry about not getting anything done.
Another reasone why you don’t mak any money online is because you always listen to what others say. You believe the so called “Internet gurus” when they say that making money online is only for certain people with a certain knowledge… bla bla bla. Stop listening to other people tell you what you can and can’t do! All that will do is depress you and prevent you from ever reaching your goals. Start experimenting to see what will and won’t work for you, then make up your mind on whether you would like to continue doing it or not.
All these points above don’t just apply to making money online, but to anything in life. If you want to lose 10Kg this month, then watching TV and eating ice cream for the whole day definitely won’t be help you achieve that. And don’t try fooling yourself into thinking that tomorrow will be the beginning of a fresh start, there’s no time like now, so get cracking!
I hope this has been extra boost of motivation you’ve always needed to get you started :) As I am writing this, there are already a few things I plan on changing and putting into action, hopefully the same goes for you ;)
As for the rest of you that are already making money online, what are some of the things that help keep you motivated and help you in achieving your goals?
