"I can't teach an e-class like you because I have no credentials."
Your credentials are you. They are your life experiences more than anything else. Few today care about whether you have a degree or any other credential. They care if you can deliver on whatever you promise. My lifemate, Nerissa, is about to teach an online video editing class. Anything you can teach off-line can be taught on-line. With video, audio, graphics, text, and chat rooms, you can have a virtual classroom on ANYTHING you can imagine. Why not?
"I can't make money selling my stuff on
Internet."
Look around. The Internet is so big and vast and even incomprehensible that truly anything can be sold online. I've seen people sell tumble weeds and buggy whips, greeting cards and computer generated art. Anything sold off-line can be sold on-line. Go look at Ebay. People sell cars, used clothes, dirt and even snow there. I once sold an "Elvis Mermaid" at Ebay. (You can see a picture of it at www.mrfire.com) Are there really any limits to what can be sold online?
"I missed right time to sell my idea."
Really? Just look at title of one of my books: "There's A Customer Born Every Minute." A new crowd of prospects appears every single day. You can sell virtually anything at virtually any time if you think of what people want and cater to them. Sometimes you have to think of other uses for same product, or other audiences than what you originally had in mind. But best time to sell what you have is now. What are you waiting for?
"You live in America and I live in Mexico and selling doesn't work here."
Give me a break. Friends of mine always go to Mexico (and other countries said to be behind us) and they come home with truck loads of things they bought. Besides that, with Internet, where you live is almost meaningless. Take your product and go online. Then you're not selling to your poor neighbors, but to entire planet. Think BIG.
The list goes on and on.
To me, excuses are #1 thing people do wrong -- online and off. While all of these excuses seem legit to person saying them, they are virtually all hogwash.
Excuses are beliefs. If you buy into them, you're stuck. If you believe instead that there's always a way around whatever excuse is, then you'll move forward. My philosophy is, "There is ALWAYS a way."
So let me try to help you here.
First, what are your excuses?
When I began this article by asking question, "I can't do what you did because ---", what did you say? How did you complete sentence? Those are some of your excuses.
Second, ask yourself if there's any way on earth to get around your excuses. In other words, are excuses you stated real or imagined? Have you tried to get past any of them? Has anyone else, ever, gotten past same excuses?
Finally, what would you do if you had no excuses?
Whatever your answer, get out there and JUST DO IT.
Leave your excuses behind and your prosperity will begin to come to you.
Leave your excuses behind and you can achieve success, too.
Leave your excuses behind and your life will begin to soar.
If you don't act now, why not?
Whatever your answer, THAT'S an excuse.
Are you going to let it stop you?
