Everyone wants to get rich quickly and easily. But there’s no such thing as getting rich quick. Believing the hype surrounding get rich quick schemes can lead not only to disappointment but also to financial disaster. Getting rich is a slow process. There’s no quick way to a six or seven figure income. The promise of a massive payout for doing almost nothing or mailing chain letters is tempting, but it won’t get you anywhere. You have to ignore the gifting programs, ponzi schemes and the screenshots of massive paypal or clickbank payouts that are meant to draw you in. Don’t be fooled.
I remember a song that was out a while ago, called “Don’t believe the hype.” You should keep that song in mind when looking at get rich quick schemes. You should also realize that there is a lot of bragging and exaggeration on the internet. There are plenty of images of people sitting on mountains of cash, standing in front of mansions, relaxing on a yacht off the coast of the French Riviera or leaning against Lamborghinis and Ferraris. These images are unavoidable. In fact, just today I got an email about an automatic cash pumping machine.
How to get rich quick
I’ve received emails and ads from people who tell me that operating an internet business is as easy as withdrawing money from an ATM 24/7. Well, what they forget to tell you is that in order to get money out of an ATM, you first have to have money in your account. I simply delete these messages without reading them. I don’t want to be lied to anymore, and you shouldn’t waste your precious time reading them either.
Online marketing is often associated with the idea of instant riches. But when you get something easily you don’t appreciate it. A reward is much more valuable when you have worked to earn it. As you develop your marketing skills you will see that, at least to a certain degree, you can better control your own destiny. You’re not dependent on other people’s whims, especially when they may not be working in your best interest.
Through working to build your own business, you also develop the mindset, skills, talents, and work ethic to create wealth. If you hit a rough patch and lose all of your money, you will still have the confidence that you can rebuilt your empire. Wealth starts with your thoughts. Ask Donald Trump or Robert Kiyosaki.
Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are examples of this ethic. Donald Trump once was asked what would become of him if he were no longer rich. He was not worried. He replied he would just make himself rich again. He had already done it and the process was not a mystery to him. He had confidence in his mental abilities and he knew he had the will and the motivation needed to create wealth over and over.
Wealth accumulation is not a sprint. It’s a marathon. Treat your online business the same way you would treat your offline business. Would you expect to become rich overnight from owning a franchise or a mom and pop store? Certainly not! So, why would you expect to achieve untold wealth in 30-90 days in your internet business?
I’ve heard people say that they will work their online business for a couple or months to see how it works out. One to three months isn’t much time at all. If you are serious about growing a replacement income for your current job or a walk away income as you start building your fortune, a minimum commitment is 1-3 years. Don’t short-change yourself by thinking anything else.
So let’s decide now: do you want to dream of getting rich, or do you want to start giving your full attention to actually getting rich, permanently? Which choice seems better to you?
