Are You Doing Whatever It Takes ?
I see headlines like this and I think really? If I was doing whatever it takes I would not be in the position I am in.
Most people starting out online want to do whatever it takes to be successful online. But I see most people get overwhelmed with information overload. I see emails people are sending to people wanting to start a business online with all kinds of hype one click to riches and the likes, it is really frustrating. They get their followers to start chasing the latest and greatest program and keep selling them online programs before they even get the basics of the programs they have already purchased up and running.
It seems it is a twofold issue.
1. People who want to start online want it NOW, and want it EASY.
2. Online Internet Marketers want to sell it to you NOW and they want it EASY.
Starting online can be simple, it can be easy, but it does take time. If you never had any online experience other than sending emails and playing online games, you have the skills that it takes to be successful online, however there is a learning curve everyone leaves out of their marketing equations.
