Don’t Complain Until Your Work Is Done

I had a gentleman I sponsored into one of my businesses, (I will call him Joe), become quite irate with me about why he was not making any money. He proceeded to tell me he thought the company was a scam, was fraudulent and that this was just another “pie in the sky” program. “I am sorry you feel that way”, I told him with as much empathy as I could muster up. “What seems to be the problem?”, I asked. “This business is worthless and I have had enough”, he yelled in anger.

Well, how about the rest of the story?.....

When we first met, I sent a game plan including the usual information I send all my businesses partners; two marketing sites, a list of sites to advertise on, the approximate amount of work needed per day to achieve certain results and so forth. So, after Joe was done complaining, I proceeded to quiz Joe on what kind of action he had taken to start working his new business.

“Ok, Joe, have you reviewed all the marketing materials on the two marketing sites we sent you?” I asked.

“Uh, not all of it”, he mumbled.

“Have you reviewed the list of great sites to advertise on?”

“Let me see, I used one of them and put a couple of ads in.”

Finally I said, “How much time are you putting in everyday to achieve the results we talked about?”

“Oh, about ½ hour a day.”

Does this sound all too familiar? Believe it or not, folks, there is work involved when running an Internet business. In some cases, an Internet business requires more work than a brick and mortar business because of the tough as nails competition out there. Putting in a ½ hour a day or an hour or two a day is simply not going to get the results you need if you are truly serious about making a living from home.

Let’s face it, if you don’t do the work involved in any job or business, the results will not come by magic. Proven actions usually provide proven results in any business situation so if you have been given coaching on how to achieve the results you are after, listen to your mentors, follow up with them and do what they are asking you to do. Through dedication and hard work, you will see the fruits of your labor start to arrive at your doorstep fairly soon.

I know you have the passion to become financially independent and work for yourself but nothing can be achieved unless some sort of positive action is taken. Turn of the TV, turn on your desires and let’s get to work and begin your new future!
