Did you answer the key question we asked ourselves in yesterday’s installment “Making money online? Hahaha…“?
Not yet?
Go back to read it now. I’ll wait for you.

Oh, you’re back.
It makes sense, doesn’t it?
What it really comes down to is price paying.
If you answered “a website”, chances are that, like me, you unconsciously perceived creating a real business was too high a price to pay.
So part of you gave in to the “push-button money” myth.
Part of you stops you from completing what you started with your site.
-
You want the money, the comfort, the freedom a business can bring you…
But you secretly don’t want a business.
Because a business means effort.
Means you could fail.
Means you’ll be different from the majority of people around you.
Means some people will think of you as a greedy and evil person.
Means some people will laugh at you and think you’re an unrealistic fool.
Means you’ll have to deal with lawyers, taxes, employees.
Means the time you’ll need to devote to building a real profitable online business will take you away from family, friends, and many leisure activities.
And much, much more… ;-)
Like… Every other negative belief you attach to the idea of building a business in your unique view of the world.
-
So how can you get past these limiting beliefs anchored at the back of your mind?
Simple.
Accept these beliefs.
Accept who you are.
Accept you’re not prepared to pay the price for this particular type of business.

Then try this easy 5-minute exercise:
Simply list all the answers that come to mind – in detail – when answering this question…
Feel free to be “unrealistic” at this stage.
Get pen and paper – I’ll wait…
Ready?
What type of business are you more than happy to pay the price for?
(In terms of time it requires, type of people you deal with, etc…)
-
Rather than following what some “guru” tells you is the perfect turnkey online business this week…
Leverage who YOU are.
When you’re true to yourself answering this question, you’ll have a much clearer idea of the type of internet marketing business that will work for YOU. Of what YOUR ideal business needs to look like.
And once you’re clear on this goal, you’ll find the information and advice you need easily – wihtout the need to jump on every new internet marketing resource.
This type of clarity leads to focus, persistence and action.
-
Try it for yourself.
You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Talk tomorrow,

My type of business, definitely, no employees. My business will gladly outsource certain work to OTHER businesses. But I SO do NOT want employees.
Great questions and helps, Yann. I like how you are realistic with us.
Clarity, persistence, effort, re tweaking along the way = Life, Relationship, and Business Success
All the best,

Yann,
You know, I haven’t thought about it in a long time but I was asked in college what I thought would be the perfect business and I said one that was so integrated with your life that your life and your business were one…seamless…and here we are getting our coffee table empires off the ground…with a computer and internet, you can work anywhere.
Thanks

It is best to be honest about what you really want and are willing to commit to. I want a business but do not want employees. Maybe hire out, but nobody on the payroll. Good food for thought. Thanks.

I think many people sub-consciously sabotage their efforts to succeed and then blame it on a myriad of other circumstances.
Interesting post!

You know how at the begining of the class Kevin always tells us that blogging is going to take us 20 minutes a day? I think that is only if we don’t challenge each other like you just did!!! GREAT food for thought!! Yes, I don’t want employees, no boundaries, and I want my business to be a part of me and to be authentice and meaningful and fun.

i agree the whole idea of having an internet business is to be free of geographi constraints of a normal job.
A good process to discover oneself and get the momentum to move ahead with the dreams.

I had limiting beliefs about making money and starting a business. It took being surrounded by people who are already successful for me to realize that I can be just as successful as them.
Humans are social creatures and we are influenced in many ways by many people. If you want to be successful, joining people who are like minded will help. Having somebody help you fight your limiting beliefs is much more effective then trying to do it on your own.
