What's goin' on?

Published: Fri, 06/02/17


And next week, I'm "Mr. Mom" to 3 of my kids, as my wife and oldest are at science camp. Plus, I've got some major house plumbing stuff going on. The crew will be digging up my backyard, ramming a giant battering ram through the sewer, and making a ton of noise.

They say they'll be done in 2 days, 3 tops. We'll see.

Bottom line: You may not hear from me much next week.

Hey! STOP JUMPING FOR JOY!

Hehe...

Today, I was just going to call it in. But I was thinking as I typed this up, "Man, there are so many opportunities today that it doesn't make sense to wallow in self pity and doubt...and just pick some thing and run with it."

I actually did say that to myself.

20 years ago -- heck, 5 years ago -- the opportunities that exist today certainly didn't exist then.

If you're having a hard time earning any income from your online business, it's probably due to one of two things:
  1. You're "stuck." You're trying so many things, not giving them enough time, and failing at all of them.
  2. You're "stuck." (I know I put "you're stuck" in both points.) You haven't tried anything because you just don't know where to start.
Fortunately, the antidote to both of the above problems is the same.

Pick ONE THING. What turns you on? (No, not like that, OR maybe, yes, just like that...whatever floats your boat.)

See it through. It doesn't have to be perfect. In fact, if you try to make it perfect, you "stick" in another way.

Nope -- get to 80 percent and move on.

The whole point of an online business is (semi-)passive income. You build "a thing" that runs itself.

For example, you write a book and publish it on Amazon's Kindle platform. Besides promoting your book, there is nothing else you have to do: No fulfillment, no follow up emails, no customer support. Heck, Amazon does most of the promotion for you, so you don't even have to spend a lot of time doing that.

Let's say you start an Amazon affiliate site. You "sell" products in a niche that people want to buy. Set up the site, "SEO" it, do some promos and guest posts, run some Facebook ads, and the rest is automated.

Don't waste a ton of time on this stuff, folks. Build simple little systems that run autonomously. Then move on. Create another one. And another.

Pretty soon, you're earning a good passive income.

Sure, you have to do some maintenance and keep the content fresh...but that's a few minutes per site a week.

Don't make this too hard.
