The Most Dangerous Obstacle of Making Money Online

By Henry Zeng

I'd say this article is just important to your online business career. If you don't overcome this dangerous obstacle, you won't make any real money online.

I really learned it the hard way.

Sadly, 90 percent of marketers are doing things that prevent them from ever achieving their goals:

They have no plan. They love (and fall victim to) products that promise them huge rewards with little or no efforts. They always hop from one "big opportunity" that can make "a lot of money" to another. They only care, "can I make money with this?" So today is eBay, tomorrow is AdSense, and yesterday it was another hot concept (but already forgotten by them).

Do you get what I mean?

These marketers are what I call "opportunity seekers".

Opportunity seekers buy a lot of products, but seldom use any of them. When the next so-called "easy money opportunity" comes by, they just stop their current practice (which probably works) and end up buying the new one. They always ask you:" What's the easiest way for me to make money right now?"

It's NOT THAT easy to make money online, buddy.

So DON'T chase every new opportunity comes out that looks like it'll make you money.

If you have ever read Stephen Covey's The 7 habits of Highly Effective People, you will know that one of the most crucial habits is begin with the end in mind.

For your online business, it means to have a detailed plan and a clear vision in your mind.

Just think about what you would like to have for your online business in the near next 2 years.

30 mini sites that earns you a monthly $200 each? That's good. 10 membership sites with a solid residual monthly income of $9000? That's even great. What about building credibility and having a high response list of 20,000 subscribers that earns you $18,000 every month? That's fabulous!

But not to have a bunch of digital trash in your hard drive. Not ever!

You should just have your vision like this. Having a vision or not distinct opportunity seekers from real Internet entrepreneurs. When you have a clear vision of what you want in your online business, you will be more focused to your business that makes success possible. - 16928
