Remember Cuba Gooding, Jr’s character, the flamboyant football star, “Rod”, dancing around in the shower while talking to his desperate agent, Jerry Maguire? Rod keeps prodding to Jerry to scream “show me the money!” over and over again and being louder each time.
Sometimes that’s what info marketing can feel like. It’s all about the money. Online info marketing has a bad reputation thanks to a small group of bad apples. The reputation is that “show me the cash”. It’s all about greed. Nothing maters apart from the size of your commissions and the number in your bank account. Don’t get me wrong. Money motivation can be a very positive thing. Some part of your personality needs to be dancing around with Rod and screaming “show me the money” but not all of your personality. That attitude only takes you so far in the info marketing world. This is even more important if you don’t experience success right away. If all you have to motivate you is your greed gland, you’ll burn out quickly if the results don’t show up right away. You need higher motivation. Ask yourself: “What do I want the money for?”:
- To spend more time with your family?
- To quit your 9-5 cubicle job?
- To travel the world?
- To give to your favourite charity?
- To change the world?
- To enjoy your favourite hobbies more?
It doesn’t matter what it is you want from the list above. Spend time writing those down. Then visualise them as vividly as you can. Every single day.
Even Click Funnels which is the most powerful, systematic and highest-paying online business I know of, can only take you so far if all you care about is the money.
Set your goals higher, work the steps and the money will appear.
