The First Step Is Always The Hardest

in #money6 years ago

Have you ever wanted to start to produce your income online but you were not that much successful with it? Why is that? People tell you do this, do that and you say that you have tried it but without much of a success. Yet you even listened to GURUS and bought their courses and books only to find out that most of that information can be found for free online but they repackage it and gave it to you.

To earn a stable income, or any kind of money is not easy, YES it requiters EFFORT from your end. The more effort that you are willing to provide to others the higher the chances are for a great returns. The problem is somewhat within ourself's first and foremost, many people enjoy reading how to make it or yet even read how to get inspired and they feel the boost in energy and all but they fail on executing what needs to be done. What they do then? They go in that loop of reading because it makes them feel better while doing so but it feels hard to start.

There is no quick rich scheme, even if there is trust me it is far better to go slowly where you know what you are doing. Producing and making something that will serve you well for the years to come or for your lifetime.

Making Money is HARD and it is NOT EASY

Here is the thing if it were easy EVERYBODY would do it already. But since not everyone is doing it there is more pleasure for you to experience once you hit your targeted goal.

Why do people tell you it is easy, earn a million? Let me explain you the bigger picture here : Many people will tell you that it is easy, when you go and read, watch video or anything else they will tell you start now don’t think yada, yada, yada. Then you try few things and you don’t feel happy – why? Do you think that most of these people that write blog posts, create YT videos etc really care for you to make it?

Many of them just want to promote products and give you affiliate links because that is what matters to them to turn you into money machine. If they sell you the idea to start a blog for instance and if they make you signup with the hosting provider they get the commission, if they sell you an ebook, a course they earn from it etc. I don’t want to say that all of these courses/books suck but many do. Because there are to many spammers in the space where many people fake who they are and what they do in order to get the money from you at the end of the day. You need to think rationally and evaluate what is really that they want from you : your money or to simply help you. By education yourself more about what is done, how and why you will have more understanding about how things work and will understand more which people are mostly there to get the money from you.

To Make Money You Have To Spend It – Invest It

I can’t deny the fact that you can offer yourself as a service at the beginning to earn something. For instance this can be done via upwork or fiverr just to name a few. BUT offering yourself as a service is not something you want for the long run. Why? Because everything takes bloody time and you better start to think about things you can automate, give some tasks to other people for you to do etc.

The more money you have to more confident you feel and the more you can invest in other areas or in the thing you are currently doing.
If you have low amount to start with simply safe it until you build reasonable amount from where you can start and expand faster.

Don’t Try To Make Money Fast

It simply is not how the world works. As I mentioned time is needed if you want to achieve something, the sooner you realize this, the better. To many people are simply jumping around and doing things they don’t understand and when they go to fast they hit a wall. When you firs sat to drive a car, did you go to a maximum speed on your first ride? Or have you started slow until you understood a bit more how to drive and developed the confidence? Think about this for a moment.

Instant results don’t exist. Mostly you will hear how something is instant, but it is not. There is a lot of hard work put a side from the individual stand of point in order for them to go till the point where they are currently at in their life. Everything comes from your experience and doing something over and over again, changing your approach until you hit the jackpot.

Fields online change rapidly

Always make sure to diversify your ways of earning your income. At some point what you do is doing great your money is good etc. but then something changes and it forces you out of the game because you felt comfortable doing only one thing. Remember on the internet everything changes and thus you need to catch up with the tempo of the game or you lose, simple as that.

Starting is the hardest step for many

People often don’t realize the importance of dedication and for saving as much money as you can. This includes to not spend your money on luxury items nor the things you actually don’t need right now. Stick with the thing you are doing and save up as much as you can so that you can reinvest more in the future. You can spend on luxuries when you hit a really high point that spending on something won’t hurt your wallet much or hurt it at all. With the social media around the corner when people are representing themselves in the best way possible we tend to believe and go for buying things to make others to love us.

Scary part is that money can be easily spent when you have spare. Don’t ever overspend it, you should have fun that is the part of life but take rational steps. Be wise.

TLDR:

  • Try to understand thing you are getting yourself involved into, learn about it
  • There is not any shortcut to earning money
  • A lot of effort is needed
  • Don’t give up, stick to something till the end, change plan accordingly
  • Try to be updated on everything
  • Reinvest what you earn and spend only on the things you really need
  • Just start, don’t wait – taking first step is not easy
