Why Some People Will Never Succeed With Their Internet Business

I receive a lot of questions and/or comments on my email mentor program from people asking me something in the lines of…

“How can I easily make a lot of fast money online?”

-or-

“I really want to make money with my own Internet business, but I don’t want to spend a lot of time at it”

-or-

“nothing too complicated”

-or-

“I’m not sure if I can do it”

-or-

…well you get the idea.

I’m very sorry, but I’m going to have to rain hard on your parade. There’s a four letter word that comes to mind when hear these people make these comments and questions… W-O-R-K. It’s gonna take work, and a lot of it to get your Internet business successful enough to put it on auto pilot.

Our society is full of people with instant gratification mentality. Instant coffee, instant meals, instant money out of a cash machine, instant downloads…instant, instant, instant!

Instant success?! NO! Not unless you win the lotto or your great Grandpa dies and leaves you a good chunk of change! It’s just not gonna happen unless you put in some W-O-R-K!

There are a lot of people that believe the world owes them success just for living. I’m not only talking about the Internet world, but in the actual work force as well.

I’m 100% for helping people willing to learn and work hard, and I know that the majority of my email clients are willing from talking to them. Those I call the 2%’ers. The real Internet entrepreneurs. It’s the other 98%’ers that need a swift kick. Those 98%’ers that have no desire to work hard at their dream and learn the ropes should not waste any more time on developing information products or affiliate programs, and they should be simply focusing on wearing a rut in the road driving to their 9 to 5 job where they can collect a paycheck every week.

I can remember when I first started online with my Internet business, I didn’t know a dang thing about any of this. I didn’t know what HTML was. I didn’t know what a blog was. I didn’t know how to make money. But, you know what? I busted my little tail off learning, reading, surfing, practicing, and digging deeper every day, week, and month until I understood what the heck everyone was talking about. Within a few months I was up and running, and never looked back. I was becoming an Internet entrepreneur. Sure, I hit roadblocks. Sure, I failed many times at things. I’m still not an expert in a lot of subjects, but you don’t have to be. The Internet is wide and forgiving.

You know what else? I did most of it with only a few hours a night or day to spare. I had to spend time with my wife and child in the evenings after my day job or my wife would dis-own me. Actually, my family is very important to me and it is of great importance to me that I spend time with them. Family time is precious to me. Most nights I had only a few hours a night to work at my business. Some nights I wasn’t able to work at all, and it killed me. You see, I was focused and determined to learn. I was not going to give in or give up. I wanted success bad, and I was going to make it through my Internet business.

One of the greatest tips I can give you is to find an area or two (e.g. info products, or affiliate marketing) that you are comfortable with or interested in and stick with them. Find a couple of reputable and trusting mentors, and follow their teaching. There are a lot of programs and Internet guru’s filling your email every day. You will never be successful jumping from one program to another, one idea to another idea, or one mentor to another mentor. Narrow it down, focus on a couple of methods and mentors, and learn it until you’re successful making money at them.

I wanted to be a 2%’er. Do you?
