A Lazy Man's Story The Short Cut

I want fast, I want it now, instant gratification is not fast enough. The same has been true with Internet marketing. Every email that promises that "this is it" finally you have found the e-book, program or secret that will skyrocket you to wealth and success fills me with the desire to buy it because "this is what I need to succeed'.

Resistance is futile and the sad truth is that many of those ebooks are still sitting on my hard drive waiting to be opened or read. You see, I fall into the lazy man's area when it comes to discipline.  For years now my websites have been successful and making good money. So I play internet games and enjoy the good life fixing up the house and buying jewelry for my wife, all the while knowing that things will change and I could be making zero, zilch, Nada.

So any shortcut, fast track to success gets my attention.  While I make the money I "invest" in my education and fall for these get rich quick courses and secrets of the pros sales pitches. My thinking is why spend your time on something that will make you 3 or 4k a month when I'm making 10 to 30k.

Believe it or not, I do and believe that it is a certainty that this cycle will change. Over time I have acquired resell, master resell and private label rights to thousands of dollars in ebooks and software, the next hot thing so to speak.  I will put all these resources into a membership site sooner or later.  Free for most of it and paid for some.

It's like money in the bank for rainy days. So back to the short cut theory, internet marketers are playing to the get rich quick side, or desperation side of our personality. There's a lazy side to most of us and it's an exploitable weakness internet marketers use to make money.

I did buy an internet marketing course from Mark Hendricks and his slogan is "Get Busy" I like the course and if you really want to work this business you will find everything you need in it. Encouragement, motivation, strategies, tactics and current news one industry changes. It's a community of like minded people that share openly. Mastermind sessions and groups are held regularly so you will find this course very different from the competition.
