Your Lack of Conviction — Not Your Lack of Resources — Is Holding You Back.

Your Attitude Determines Your Success

It’s hard to make your first $100 online.

But not impossible…

Some never reach it.

But many already have…

If someone doesn’t believe in the concept of making money online, they may not be willing to put in the time and effort required to build an online business.

It is important to believe first.

You have to believe in something you have never achieved before and then do the required work for a long period of time.

Making money online typically requires a significant amount of work and dedication, and if someone doesn’t believe that it’s a viable way to earn a living, they may not be motivated to put in the necessary time and effort.

It can take months, sometimes years.

If someone thinks that making money online is a scam, they limit their ability to grow their business and generate revenue.

And if they think that what everyone else if doing is a scam, it comes down to the same thing. You won’t have any success.

And it’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

“Of course this does not work.
I know right from the beginning, that this is a scam.”

And I must admit:

There are a lot of phonies online selling their products and services.

And there are also phonies calling other people phonies.

It’s a whole system of phonies.

And the only way to make money as well is to join them:

Oh wait… but… that would mean you would need to be a phony too?

You do not want to be a phony, do you?

Nobody wants to be…

Let’s not make this a critique of the current economic system, shall we?

Instead, let’s focus on the task at hand:

You want to make money online.

But everywhere you look, you only see scammers and phonies.

Everyone is selling their courses on how to make money online.

It’s a shame really.

You don’t like it. You don’t want to be part of this system.

I didn’t want to be either.

In fact, the opportunity marketing business (selling biz-opps and making money online schemes, one of the biggest biz-opp niches in the history of mankind) is very ungrateful.

Even if you have good intentions, still nobody sees it and people will believe you are a phony like all the others. That is the truth for many marketers and it’s a shame.

But at the end of the day, you have to be a phony and sell your products and services for more money — even if you had good intentions.

Because selling online is only lucrative if you sell something to others for a lot of money.

And I mean a big chunk of a lot of money.

That is the system and nothing can be done about it.

Profit, however, is just that.

You can’t make a profit if you don’t earn more than your products cost you. How much does the digital product cost you to produce? Once, a little bit of time. There are no specific production costs each time.

With a digital product, that’s a bit difficult to calculate.

So it might not feel right to sell something for a lot of money.

That is a big hurdle.

But when it comes to selling something, you don’t put a price tag on it because of the cost, you sell because of the value that the product has for the potential customer:

To successfully sell a product or service, you need to have confidence in its value and be able to communicate that value to potential customers.

And if you don’t believe in your product or service, your lack of conviction may be obvious to others, and this can make it difficult to generate sales.

Now, you can also be a megalomaniac and think that your book is worth a thousand dollars. There are people who sell stuff like that and there are people who buy it.

Where is the rationality?
It has completely disappeared.

But you see, this is also a mindset problem.

Because you might think that other people are just crazy, if they would buy something like that. But who wants to buy something from someone who thinks they are crazy? By assuming they are not rational in their buying decision, you close yourself off to the possibility of making money this way.

Thus we see that an incredible amount of our outcome can be influenced by our inner attitude.

So, how can we change this?

Many marketers are working, delivering “mindset” courses and adding “mindset” chapters in their books and courses to get your mind on track first.

This is not a one-time-thing though.

You need to work on it daily.

The mindset is probably more important than the actual “doing of the thing” — which just takes some work and a little bit of time.

You have to believe it before you can achieve it.
