But I don’t want to LEARN anything!
I had an interesting experience with a Lighthouse Marketing System prospect last week. It was during a webinar Q&A. The response from everybody else was generally really good, people loved the info.
But this one guy basically said, “But, I don’t want to have to learn anything, this feels like going back to school!”
Here’s the problem with that attitude. If you aren’t willing to gain skills in this marketplace, you’re dead. Do you know why? Because you are competing against people who are willing to learn. People who love to learn. People who are actively becoming “skillionaires.” Those that don’t like to learn are just getting left behind.
I remember my first internet marketing coaching course, with Stephen Pierce. He said how when he was new, he got so excited about marketing online that he stayed up until 3 AM in the morning, night after night, studying, learning, implementing… then got up early and hit it again. He was completely absorbed. He did that for a short time, and it paid off big. Now he’s fantastically successful.
My good friend Kimball Roundy is the same way. He’s a study-a-holic. I taught him how to make money on Twitter last November, and he went after it. He studied, worked, applied, and tweaked, and now he’s bringing in over $1,000 a DAY from a Twitter based program he designed.
The bottom line is simple. The internet allows you to take your message to the world. And the skills can be gained by anybody. But there is a price to be paid, usually in time and trial and error. The upside is that, unlike algebra, online marketing is FUN and interesting to study, and the ROI is HUGE!
