Stop Buying stuff and take some action!
More and more I see people complain they can’t make any money on the Internet. A number lately saying they have spent thousands of dollars on information, e-books, videos and even expensive classes, but yet they don’t make a dime.
These same people posting on a new site waiting for the new lauch, hoping this will be the big break, their road to riches. Hoping yet another “guru” will tell all his secrets and they will finally make it big, the cash rolling in without much effort.
Some of the same people saying they don’t want to do anything complicated like writing an e-book, joint ventures, or heaven forbid, building a list.
Is this you? Does it sound familiar? I sure hope not, you might not like the rest of this post.
I don’t mean to make light of people or make fun of them, I’ve been there myself at one point or another in my Internet career.
Problem is, these same people could spend thousands more and add millions of pdf’s on their hard drive and it would’nt matter. They want the secret formula for getting rich. Problem is most already know the great secret, but will never realize or admit it.
Sir Francis Bacon coined the phrase, “Knowledge is Power”. I thank him for the quote, but he was’nt quite right, well at least in my world. It should have been “Knowledge is Potential Power”.
You could have all the knowledge in the world, all the reports and programs available on the net, every e-book ever written, every pdf ever created…
You could know everything, but it’s worth nothing if you dont use the knowledge and take action.
It’s only as complicated as you make it.

You’re absolutely right. THis is something I’ve been reflecting on in my own life lately.
I have so many ideas. So much knowledge. But if I don’t act, nothing happens.
To me, it comes down to desire. If you align your goals with the things that motivate you on a very personal level, then taking action will be easy.

Jacob, Thanks for the comment.
I’ve been there so many times in my life, we all have. Getting your self to do something is really tough.
Your right though, you need to find what motivates you enough to take action. For me it was, I hating working at a “job” with a passion. It was’nt really even my last boss. It was the idea that sonme one else told me when to come to work, when to leave, what work I did, and what they wanted to pay me. I just got to the point where I was’nt going to take it any more and simply did something about it.
We all need to learn, so there are many times we need to buy “stuff”. But too many people use it as a crutch or an excuse not to actually do something.
