I think that one of the biggest barriers to getting rich online is the constant negativity from those around you.
I made $125 the first month fulltime online. I worked about 200 hours – I was working for about 60 cents per hour. The next month I doubled that. $1.20 per hour. That would cripple most people. But I had faith in what I was doing. The fourth month I made $2500 online. If I had given up at 60 cents per hour, because other people thought I wasn’t making enough money, I would still be going to work for someone else from 9-5. Now don’t get me wrong – I still work 9-5 or 9-7 and sometimes until midnight, but I am working for myself. What if I had listened to negativity of those around me?
You have to simply block it out. Do not let it affect you. Tell people you don’t want to hear the negativity. If they don’t respect you, stop spending time with you. If they asked you not to talk about something in their life, you would respect that, wouldn’t you? So don’t feel like you have to keep spending time with them if they won’t respect that.
I think another big barrier to success online is the tendency to jump on every new bandwagon that comes along, to join every new program that comes along. I can tell you this, there is not get rich quick scheme online that will really get you rich quick. And if you join a new program everyday and promote a new scheme to your list everyday, you will not succeed and your list will quit opening your emails. Commit to building a solid business online, and do not be swayed. Simply refuse to get involved in anything unless it fits into your plan.
