So I am the kind of guy who has been on all the courses and read all the books. You could call me an information junkie! I have always believed with enough information you can be successful in business. I still do not believe this is a naïve statement. I still

think you can make quick easy money by following the systems that have made other people money. I know I am a capable guy so there is no reason in my mind why I cannot use someone else’s business blueprint to great success.

This belief was getting a little desperate a few months ago after another mediocre business launch. I was following the processes and still only breaking even – to be honest it was making me feel a little bit like a loser. As a believer in positive thinking, as soon as I slipped into this mindset I decided to stop and have a good hard look at the way I was doing business. This process helped me realize a few things.

While I had the best intentions, I often ended up getting distracted. I was so caught up on other people’s systems and the idea of my making quick money online on the back of one of them that I had “magpie syndrome.” I was constantly distracted by the next great opportunity or business model. I realized that I was caught in the trap of short term thinking.

Rather than thinking of the whole process of being a millionaire (my aim) I always thought in the terms of the next few thousand, the next project. It’s crazy that one thing can make so much difference to making quick easy money, but it has. I notice since I stopped thinking short- term I approach everything in a different way.
