IF SUCCESS WAS EASY....

by Joseph Demasi

I know you have seen it all before. The big time promises of fast money and guaranteed wealth online. It sounds so appealing, just plug in and go. Your check is in the mail! Every day there is a new program launched that "is sweeping the net". Yeah, it's sweeping alright! Sweeping all the money out of people's bank accounts with another promise of easy money! I want you to understand something: THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO WEALTH! If there was then everybody would be wealthy and driving the car of their dreams.

There is one irrefutable fact that is bandied about online all the time, and it is this: 95% of people that start a business or get involved in an opportunity will quit. That's right I said QUIT, I did not say fail. The biggest myth out there is that people are failing online. People are not failing, most of the people that say they failed, actually quit. There are those unfortunate people that get involved with actual scams and had no chance of success. I am not speaking of those people here. Yes the internet is full of people and opportunities that just want your money so they can laugh all the way to the bank. That is a fact we all need to deal with. In a moment I will show you how to safeguard yourself against those thieves.

I know for a fact that some of you reading this right now have been in at least 2-3 programs over the last 6-8 months looking for that magic bullet that will take you to easy street! I should know, when I first started online I was in the same boat- jumping from opportunity to opportunity looking for the one that would work. Let me explain something, not withstanding the scams out there, most of the opportunities out there work if you work as well. There is no free lunch, you have to put in the effort. When you go to work everyday, does your boss expect you to do something? What would happen if you came in and sat down at your desk and fell asleep for 3 hours? Would expect to get paid for that? How many employees would last at a job if they treated it like that? The answer is none! Then why do you expect the same thing from your own business?

If you expect to succeed online or in your own home business, there will be a learning curve. Do not expect to make millions overnight. All the Guru's online you see that claim to be making millions have been around for years and have taken the time and money to learn about what they are doing. Let me say that this way: If you expect to be successful in this area then you must be willing to learn about it first. Now that is not saying that you cannot earn while you learn. in fact that is the best part about a home business, you can earn some money part time while you learn about what it takes to make the big money. Unfortunately, people don't want to learn first, they want the money first and as long as that is the case they will always be looking for that get rich quick plan that looks so enticing. You know, the one that never works!

In order to be successful online you must expect the following:

1. Expect to spend at least 6-9 months with your business, doing all the activities it takes to be successful. You must be consistent and willing to learn.

2. Expect that you will have bad days. Just keep going because it will get better.

3. You will need to spend money. If you are not willing to spend money then don't start a business.

4. You will need to spend at least 10 hours a week on your business with activities designed to produce results.

5. People will say NO! That is a fact you will never change.

6. If you quit you will not be successful! The only way to fail is to quit.

I hope this helps you, my next post will be: What you should look for in a business that will maximize your success.
