A few months ago I attended a three day seminar on internet marketing and wealth creating. I came away from this seminar with lots of information but without a clear idea of where I could or should start. The message was this stuff is easy so just do it. However for someone new to this game, it was too much information on too wide an array of topics
And so I returned home full of enthusiasm visualising instant success and cash dropping into my bank account as I slept. I sat at my computer and did more research using the information I had collected and the result was too much information.
The internet is an amazing resource but you need to carefully pick and choose the information you take in. The brain can only absorb so much information and that information must first pass through your belief systems. Some of that information will feel right (that is it doesn’t challenge our belief systems) some will challenge but still feel possible and some will feel downright unbelievable (for example if you have never made any money online, it is going to be a massive stretch for your mind/imagination to believe you can make one million).
It is so much better to start small and build up your confidence and expand your online money making comfort zone at a rate that best matches your ability to change. Because that is what this is – we have to change our ideas money, making money and how we make money.
Change is a habit. We get stuck in situations – jobs, relationships, etc. – that we do not like but are unwilling to make the necessary changes to move on from that situation. We want change to be instantaneous but it is a process and we have to take consistent and persistent steps to get the desired results. Creating an online business is a big change for most people irrespective of their technical knowledge.
Last weekend I attended another internet conference. This time I was only able to attend one day. I adopted a pick and choose approach, attending only those sessions that made sense to me. I still came away with a lot of relevant information but not so much that I felt overwhelmed. Sometimes change is forced upon us. But when we want to make changes in our own lives small incremental changes with realisable goals are usually best.
