The Most Dangerous Obstacle of Making Money Online

By Henry Zeng

I'd like you to know that this article is just important to your online business career. If you don't overcome this dangerous obstacle, you won't be making any real money on the Internet.

I've learnt it really the hard way.

Honestly, 90 percent of marketers are doing things that prevent them from ever achieving their goals:

They have no plans. They love (and fall victim to) products that give them huge promises with little or no efforts. They always hop from one "big opportunity" that can make "a lot of cash" to another. They only care, "can I make money with this?" So today is Adwords, tomorrow is AdSense, and yesterday it was another hot concept (but already forgotten by them).

Do you get what I mean?

These people are what I call "opportunity seekers".

Opportunity seekers buy a lot of products, but hardly use any of them. When the next so-called "easy money method" comes by, they just stop their current practice (which probably works) and end up buying the new one. They always ask you:" What's the easiest way for me to make some cash right now?"

It's NOT easy to make money online, buddy.

So DON'T chase every new opportunity comes out that looks like it'll make you money.

If you have ever read Stephen Covey's The 7 habits of Highly Effective People, you will know that one of the most essential habits is begin with the end in mind.

For your online business, it means to have a detailed plan and a clear vision in your mind.

Just think about what you would like to achieve for your Internet business in the near next 2 years.

30 mini sites that earns you a monthly $200 each? That's good. 10 membership sites with a solid recurring monthly income of $9000? That's even great. What about building your credibility and having a high response list of 20,000 subscribers that earns you $18,000 every month? That's fabulous!

But not to have a bunch of digital trash in your hard drive. Not ever!

You should just have your vision like this. Having a vision or not distinct opportunity seekers from real Internet entrepreneurs. When you have a clear vision of what you want your business to become, you will be more focused to your business that makes success possible.
