What is holding you back from making money? - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

So what is holding you back from making money with your internet ventures?

Time?
Money?
Skills?
Contacts?

My guess is that its YOU. I think that you hold yourself back.

When you have an hour free, what are you doing? Sitting in front of the TV? Reading useless info on the internet? So if your are really serious about making money, take 1/2 hour and focus on your internet ventures. Spend the other 1/2 hour relaxing and watch TV or wandering around the internet aimlessly (down time is healthy and contributes to success).

When you have a few extra bucks are you buying booze , a "toy", or too many energy drinks? Take 1/2 that money (you should enjoy some of the fruits of your labour) and pay your credit card down to reduce the interest payments. Do you really think you can quit that day job and focus on internet income with the debts you have now? Of course not, get rid of debt!

You lack skill. How much money are you putting out that you could put in your own pocket, if you advanced your skill? If you knew more, for those jobs that should be outsourced for efficiency, you could make better choices. Commit some time to becoming more educated. It is slow and painful, but isn't it MORE painful to be unskilled?

You think you can't make money because you don't know the "right" entrepreneurs. Look at how you present yourself. Do you attract or repel the people who could help you? When someone helps you do you suck the life out of them or find a way to balance it and give back? When you can't pay it "back" do pay it "forward"?

I challenge you to take a look at what you are doing and re-evaluate. Stop holding yourself back. Don't be afraid of positioning yourself to succeeed. Manage just 1/2 your time and resources differently and I believe you will see results.

I would say currently that TIME is the only thing really holding me back. With school and the fact that it's my senior year and I'm trying to make the best of it, I just can't find time to work on my projects.

They'll be waiting for me when I do though

What holds a lot of people back is that fact that they just simply suck at making money online. They aren't cut out for it since they lack the ingenuity and skill to make substancial money online.

You will never regret school, you are smarter than the average bear (from Yoggie Bear cartoons), if you know you need to sick with school. Keep up the good work.

Someone on this forum said that money-making secret is hardworking.

Personnaly, I think that believing that you can succeed online is one of the key factors & this is also where everything starts. If you don't believe, then there will be also no ACTION, motivation to do things, etc.

emp · 10-29-2006, 05:48 AM

Right now, TIME, as the MONEY thing finally sorted itself out.

::emp::

sebastya · 10-29-2006, 05:57 AM

Time, because school takes 8 hours out of my day...

trigatch4 · 10-29-2006, 10:23 AM

EMP... if the money thing sorted itself out for ME, I would take a little reduction in money to give myself free time. Time is free and you'll never get a chance to get/earn it back.

But I'm not there yet because I'm still in the early stages of trying to make it in this internet thing. But I've got a decent number of projects on the way.

So yah... TIME for me in a different sense.

greenvy · 10-29-2006, 12:15 PM

I would say it mostly TIME and MONEY....for one I work a 12 hour shift which takes alot of my time...and second is with all the bills and paying rent I don't got really much to invest on my online ventures.....

But I'm just basically doing arbitrage so I think of it as an saving account but with better interest rate!! so far my "saving account" is giving me about 30% interest!!...hahaha

Andrew · 10-29-2006, 12:18 PM

Definately sleep, thats a waste of about 42 hours a week or so.

hydrogin · 10-29-2006, 12:19 PM

For me, I would say school/job(that I need for stable income, dont ask why)/the fact that there is only 24 hrs in a day/my eyes getting so sore after 16 hrs straignt
