Can The Average Person Be Successful In An Online Business?Written by David Moore
Is a work-at-home business using your computer as your income tool realistic for average person? First, let me say that I do not believe in notion of an “average” person. There is no such thing. If there were, we wouldn’t have different acumens, different personalities, and talents. My wife has many exceptional talents. She is extremely intuitive and seems to be able to see through anyone who is not what they appear to be. But some of basics (I think) of comprehension have passed her by. After 33 years of marriage I only learned last week that she was unaware of procedure of putting gas into car without having to squeeze lever on nozzle and keep holding it down. She didn’t realize you could slip lever onto a notch and flow of gas would shut off automatically when your tank is full. And she’s always fulfilled function of putting gas into her car, or ours, when we only had one car and she was driving it. So on this very cold day she asked if I would mind taking her car to station down street to fill it with gas. She told me her hands got too cold when holding down lever and she couldn’t find her gloves. Unbelievable, I thought. How could anyone not know you don’t have to keep holding lever down with your hand? But you know, I’ll bet there are lots of similar functions we take for granted whose utility others do not understand. At same time, I’m sure there are things we don’t understand, or that we do hard way when a much simpler application is available to us. What’s my point? If we keep thinking same way we’ve always thought, we’ll keep achieving same results we’ve always achieved. Einstein said it best: “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” Having dispelled notion of “average” let me say that yes it is true that a work-at-home business using your computer as your income tool is realistic for anyone who can read and write and perform basic functions of life - whether you keep holding lever down, or you do as I do and slip lever into notch on nozzle while you get back in car and listen to ball game on radio until tank is full. But regardless of your acumen, your personality, or your unique talents, to be successful with an online business you have to have three important qualities, 1) a willingness to learn, 2) patience, and 3) focus.
