After only a week of trying to make a million online without success, I feel beat. It’s no wonder there are very few billionaires in the world. This stuff needs work man! I mean I’m mentally exhausted to tell you the truth and if I keep at this my mind is going to explode. I have one confession to make here though, the reason for my exhaustion maybe my lack of focus on one thing. You see many of the successful people you see out there took a chance on one single idea and stuck with it till it made them rich. But what if you are like me, who has no idea and is still faced with the challenge of figuring out what to do and if it will really work. What do you do? Where do you get advice? Do you go with your gut feeling or choose something you love as most people suggest?
Granted, it might sound appealing to settle on the latter, but our gut feeling has never been known to make the right choices, if you’re like most people. You have to train it and condition it, just like any other skill, to make the right decisions on autopilot. Choosing something you love, also in this same manner, has not always been known to deliver millions. How many times do you see or hear about very passionate people living broke or worse, homeless. In order to be successful you have to think logically like most successful people and do away with HOPE.
To be honest, I was almost not writing this blog post today simply because I felt tired and it so far seems pointless. But then I remembered something. That is exactly what 99% of people do. Give up. We try something for a few days and if it doesn’t work we give up and try something else. We continue this cycle until we end up old, alone and broke or both. I have realized that I’m chasing too many things at a time that I don’t give each the required attention and focus. This, as I have recently learned, is known as Shinny Object Syndrome. If I had a team behind me, it would be a totally different story. Personally I’m all for doing things that would make me a lot of money. And if I can do multiple things simultaneously with the help of expert individuals, then even better. But I don’t have that kind of budget.
The challenge I’m facing so far is deciding on which activity to focus on and perfect it to generate money. This activity, in my opinion, should be something I can scale easily (given the short amount of time we have), something that can generate money even while I sleep, something I can be able to charge a premium for (without having to invest/re-invest a tonne of money into), something with zero or close to zero overheads and something I can master (If I don’t already have) in the shortest time possible. All of these point me in the direction of a Highly Specialized Skill. But what skill is that exactly? And how much time do I need to master this particular skill? How much will it cost? Is it the right skill? These are some of the questions I’m still pondering over as of now.
At this point I believe (just remembered belief is another word that will make you poor along with the others we talked about yesterday) that I am making the right change and moving in the right direction. Day 07 and the account is still at $0.12.
