The Entrepreneur’s Best Friends

I wanted to share something with you today, that is inspired by an Email that I received from a long time source of 'niche information…

I was thinking after I received this Email – I'll share more about where to signup to get on this list if you wish towards the end of this post.

It's true! Just two little words rule a every Entrepreneur's world…

Risk and Fear

Over the past several years I've been showing people how to make money – I will be the first to tell you that if you take two people and have them do the exact same thing, one will succeed and the other will fail. Why? Because of who they are inside!

Some people are risk avert - always wanting guarantees… thinking that if someone would just show them step-by-step how something works for others, then they too could do it and be successful.

Some people love taking risks in certain parts of their lives – they will jump out of perfectly good airplanes, or ride their motorcycle without protective gear… almost as if they love taking risks with their lives.

Fear, or lack of fear seems to be what makes these people take the risks that they do…

So what makes one person successful and another not?

I really do think that it has to do with how we each emotionalize the implied Risk in starting a business in the form of Fear…

I know – blah blah blah…

But seriously – if you are one who is so fearful of failure, then maybe you should stay in your cubicle. If you are one who is always looking for the 'sure thing' – then maybe you should just work for someone else.

Being in business takes a certain hardness, and fearlessness if you will. Something inside that makes you decide – then stick with it until it DOES work.

I've been self employed most of my life – something happened to me when I was a kid… well several things happened to me. If you talk to some friends they will tell you that it was probably the screwdrivers in the outlet – but I'm not sure that that was it…

Lets just say that my father told me over and over that I didn't have to be like all the other kids – that I should do what I wanted to do. The funny thing is that when you are a kid you have little fear. No one has filled your head will all of those negative things that would happen to you if you did something one way or didn't do something another way. I will reassure you that I have failed – I've failed a lot in my lifetime. In the beginning it hurt and made me wonder if I stopped being different would I not fail… Hmmm…

Everyone has failures – I've had two marriages fail… but I've got 4 wonderful children (and one grand daughter) as a result. So the risk worth it for me! Will I do it again? Probably, but without producing anymore children of course – too old for that you know! (wink)

I've also had many business ventures fail, or not make it as I had hoped. But I have also had several very successful businesses and once you figure out what doesn't work – you just need to remember that and not do it ever again! Figure out what works and keep doing it over and over.

Think outside the box – smaller is better!

I think what hits most people too is that they think inside the box about business! They think that you have to create something that may become too big to handle – something that just keeps growing and growing… maybe out of control!

The last very successful business that I started did just that – and now there are more than a dozen employees. I am glad that I'm not there to deal with all of that! I like it small – maybe several small businesses at once – easier to deal with…

Ok – so what does this have to do with everything that I have been talking about?

Think… if you find a way to make a couple hundred a month and then you create another – not just like it – but the same business model – all making small amounts of money – all simple to manage – and all easy to do… and duplicate!

That's how we make money the easy way on the Internet!

Do you want me to do this for you?

Do you want me to take you by the hand and show you?

If you answer YES to both or either of these, are you willing to give me a piece of it forever? Think about it and let me know – I'm curious what you are thinking.


The Email that sparked my blog post today was sent to me by Paul Evens. You can check out his nichology site by clicking here.

Also – if you are looking to get started making money online then I would recommend two programs/systems to review – I own both of them (no I wasn't given a copy to say it's good!) and these two are really written for the newbie – get started today.

First program by George Brown – Google Sniper – just click here

Second program by Michael Jones – The Affiliate Code – just click here


I have purchased several other (new) programs and I'm not impressed by what I'm seeing – too much of the 'me too' thing going on. I've even requested refunds! See – that happens… but know that I am evaluating if these new programs show something new, or if a newbie would be able to make it work…

I wish that I could take away all of your fear and tell you that there is no risk. The truth is that the risk of failure is much greater if you do absolutely nothing.

To your continued success…

How to Make Great Decisions – By Paul Dalton

October 16th, 2009 | Posted in General | by Michael Hobach

By Paul Dalton

How many times in your life have you put off doing something because you couldn’t decide the best course of action to take? I’ve known people plan to go out for a well earned meal with their partner and end up staying at home because they couldn’t make up their mind between Chinese or Italian. Heaven help the person who orders sweet and sour chicken when all along they should have been having lasagna! Can you imagine what it is like for them to choose between a staying in their job or take a gamble on starting that business they always dreamed of?

The fear of making bad decisions prevents people from doing all kinds of things that they might be better off doing. The truth of the matter is there is no way of knowing which direction a particular choice is going to take you. You can spend years ruminating over every possible outcome while in the mean time watching the world move on around you. It doesn’t change the fact that, no matter what you choose to do in the end, it might all turn out right and it might all turn out not so right.

But none of that matters because the secret to making great decisions is falling in love with making mistakes.

A lot of people will not make the distinction between making a mistake and making a bad decision, but there is a world of difference, and realizing what that difference is can literally turn your life around and set you on a whole new path.

A mistake is literally doing something in a moment that you think is for the best but later turns out to be not such a good idea for you. A bad decision is doing nothing to correct that mistake and then letting the consequences of it define you for ages afterwards.

Here are a few of examples:

Mistake = Getting into a relationship with the wrong person.
Bad Decision = Sticking with them and being miserable for the rest of your life

Mistake = Choosing Bognor Regis rather than Cuba for your annual holiday.
Bad Decision = Looking for everything you can find to hate about Bognor just to prove you were right about how you should have gone to Cuba! And then going back to Bognor next year! (Bognor is a wonderful place by the way).

Mistake = Going into business without having some sort of a plan.
Bad Decision = Injecting more and more of your personal finance, sweat and tears into it just to prove you can make the damn thing work.

Making a good decision is not about knowing the outcome before it has had a chance to happen. It is about committing to ANY course of action you FEEL is for the best and then paying attention to the lessons you are later presented with. It is the skill of interpreting the information generated by what has happened and choosing to either do more of the same or change your approach — even start again in some cases. In the same way that an airplane reaches its destination by continually measuring how off track it is from the set flight path and adjusting its course to get back on track, the same is true for good decision making.

Making a decision in any area is not a one time event; it is an ongoing and organic process that must evolve as life unfolds.

Today’s Homework:

Think about a decision you have been putting off making. What are the possible choices you have?

Just for a moment, let go of analyzing which choice you think you should make and just listen to your body; your intuition. If I were to flip a coin and the rules were Heads you choose option A and Tails you go with option B, which side would you secretly hope for, deep down, before knowing the outcome?

Just go with your instinct and do something to start to make that choice happen. Be willing to make a mistake, knowing that the only bad decision you can ever make is to not do something about the things you didn’t want to happen.

If things go wrong be willing to make a mistake in the opposite direction because, who knows, it might turn out to not be a mistake after all, but rather the realization of your dream!

No matter what your situation you always have choice. Don’t worry about having to choose wisely; that’s overrated.
