When you go to the ATM machine, does it just give you money? I've never seen an ATM machine give anyone any money. I've seen them dispense money from an account.
When you go to the ATM machine, does it just give you money? I've never seen an ATM machine give anyone any money. I've seen them dispense money from an account. That money had to already have been put in that account. That money had to be earned to be put into that account in the first place. So, the ATM machine isn't giving anyone anything. It's allowing you to have what you have already earned.
That's what's wrong with people who invest into money making systems. That is the type of thinking that makes them flop before they had a chance to begin. Let's talk about some of these programs for a second so that you can know exactly where I am with this.
No Selling
I'm sure you've seen the great business ideas that swear to you that you won't be doing any selling. I hope you have never believed that it's possible. A "no selling" proposition is a job. That's a teacher or a fireman type of position. But, if you are going to make money in any type of system, as your own boss, setting your own hours, you are going to have to be selling something. How else would you generate income?
"No Selling" speaks to many people because selling is the hard part. It's approaching someone and grabbing their attention. It's fighting through all of the negative connotations they have of salespeople because of how many times they have been approached before. It's actually presenting something where you can create a sense of value and need. It's closing a deal. This is a process that not many people are comfortable putting themselves through. It's a hard process that takes a certain amount of skill to be successful.
Earn $20,000 in a Month
I'm not saying it's not possible. But, let's say you're starting right now from scratch. You have a job and you only have a few extra hours a day to invest in growing your own business. So, you follow the steps and you can see some things start to work. You got a nibble from a prospective buyer who was just window shopping. You get a few more bites. You start to wonder how you can transfer those nibbles into sales. So, you take some time and go back through the training. In a month, you've made $5.25.
What went wrong? There are many factors that could go into answering that question. What were you selling? Sit back and think reasonably if what you were selling ever had the potential of delivering $20,000 in a month. Real estate can easily deliver that amount every month and much more. But, you can't expect that kind of return if you're selling something in a niche market like vintage ads. And you won't get much money at all if you've invested into a scam and now you are trying to peddle it. Honest ventures make honest money.
So, Back to the ATM
In order to make yourself a great deal of money, you have to forget the fact that it's going to be easy and it's going to be automatic. Real estate is a big beast that will eventually turn all of your efforts into money easily and nearly automatic. But, you have to get there first. You have to learn the art of selling. You have to learn the ins and outs of the type of real estate you want to dominate. And you have to accept the fact that it's not going to happen overnight.
Investing into a system that has promise also comes with responsibility. You have to be responsible to yourself. I know of plenty of people who have put their hard earned money into learning how to make money only to give up after a few weeks because it wasn't producing any results. They thought that because they had bought into the system that they were guaranteed results. And they stepped in with both feet and high expectations.
Make a list of goals that you have right now. Look at them realistically. How much time and effort do you think it will "really" take to achieve your goals? You want to be a millionaire in a year? I've seen it happen. So, how are you going to make it happen?
Getting rich overnight is a pipedream and anyone who has that expectation should reevaluate themselves. But, getting rich in a short amount of time is not a problem. It depends on how well you learn real estate, how well you learn the ins and outs of what you want to do in real estate. It depends on how much effort you are willing to give. If you don't have much time after work and you don't want to take too much time away from your family, then focus. Make every second count when you are working on your business. Maximize your efforts and get smart.
Investing in a home based business with all the tools to properly run it is not a proposition that includes having an ATM machine delivered to your front door. It will be very rewarding once you have put yourself through the system, followed the steps and actually learned how it works. And it will be very rewarding to you in a rather short amount of time. It's one of those tricky perception deals. Right now, it seems so far away. But one day, you'll be looking back on it and saying to yourself it wasn't that hard. So why were you in such a hurry?
On a final note, I'm going to let you in on a relatively unknown secret. This could very well turn your computer into your very own ATM with a few simple clicks of the mouse.
