Quick Easy Money and Lack of Focus

Quick Easy Money and Lack of Focus

I have always put 110% of my focus into my business. I know I want quick easy money and I have always worked hard to get it. Saying this, I have always lacked focus in some ways. I could never settle down and put all my energy into one thing. I see an opportunity, put the ball in motion and then start looking for a new opportunity. The problem was that when I did try and stick with a venture all the way through to the end I got bored.

I know this sounds bad, but it is not like I did not work hard, I just I found a scatter gun approach more interesting. I seemed to be very good and finding the latest system and I left putting this into place for other members of my team. That is why you have a team of people with different skills, to complement each other.

Like I said, I never thought this was a really bad thing. I am an information junkie, so I believed my time was best spent finding the next project, or venture. In fact, looking back I think I was just feeling unworthy of quick easy money and I thought that I needed to know more in order to succeed.

As much as I enjoyed it, this process has not brought me the rewards I want or deserve. So I decided to go back to the drawing board and really look at why I was not focusing. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that my lack of focus was a gut-reaction of fear and that I was actually sabotaging myself. If I did not see something through I could always say to myself that it was not successful because of "not knowing enough". Since realizing this I have begun seeing ventures through to the finish and it has brought me closer to quick easy money and greater satisfaction from each working day.

Quick Easy Money? You Can’t Handle Quick Easy Money!

Cover of A Few Good Men (Special Edition)

Do you remember that scene from a few good men (one of my favorites) when Jack Nicholson looks at Tom Cruise and says, “You want the truth? You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth”? I had a really big realization over the last few months that the reason I am not making quick easy money or achieved the financial success I have dreamed of is because I cannot handle money. I do not mean handle money in the balancing the check book kind of way, I mean getting the big bucks!

I have always worked hard - I put 100% into my business. I have educated myself on the ways to make money and have learnt all about the systems and processes that guarantee big income. I know these systems work, I am part of a few different forums and speak to people regularly that make quick easy money online. So what was I doing wrong? Why were these systems only helping me break even? I was following the same process as everyone else.

When I looked a bit further I realized that I was afraid of money. I was afraid of the consequences of making it big (of getting there and losing it all), of what people might say about me if I became rich (there are always haters) and a whole load of other fears and doubts. These doubts were literally repelling money from my life. This was why when it came to the finishing line I always managed to self sabotage in some way. The great thing about this is I know now all I need to do is change this and the next process I do will bring in the quick easy money!

Have I Found The Missing Link To Quick Easy Money?

Regardless of how hard I have worked at my business and how many books I have read or courses I have attended I have always felt that there was a missing link between my desire for quick easy money and the achievement of it. I have spent years searching for what that link is with the belief that if I just found the elusive “missing link” success could be mine.

I have followed all the right processes and made all the right moves but never seemed to get the big rewards from it. Although at the time of the disappointment I would blame this aspect of a system or point out why it was not right for my business needs I knew it was something more than that. Other people were making money from the same system – I am part of some fantastic business forums, I know for a fact the same processes were working for others.

I also knew that I had potential. People told me this from my early business days onwards. I know I am an innovative guy. I am great at creative thinking. Yes, I have some business weaknesses, who doesn’t? But I have strengthened those through my choice of employees. So why was I not making money?

I few months ago I spent a substantial amount of time thinking about this – trying to look outside of the box. I realized that I had become so scared of losing my belief in my potential I was self sabotaging. Now, I do not even consider potential… potential does not bring you quick easy money, business success does and this is what I focus on.

Quick Easy Money and Self Sabotage

Cover of Taking Action

I’m a goal orientated person. I know what I want out of life and I have always taken pretty focused action to achieve those goals. I always have a notebook nearby to write down ideas and I work hard to translate these ideas into business opportunities. For me, taking action to translate your dreams into reality was the cornerstone of making quick easy money. There is no way you could get rich without action and hard work. I took courses and read books about making better goals and putting those into action.

So, I have been in a situation for quite a few years where I have my goals, I have my plan of action and I have carried them out to pretty mediocre business success. It’s not like I make no money, but for the amount of work I put in I should be mega rich a few times over! I have found myself getting more and more frustrated. I needed to start making money. Partly to live the life I want but also to prove myself I could. My starting point for each new project was that this one “needs to be a success”. This focus has not made me happy and noticed that the more I thought like this, the less money I made.

So a few months ago I took a step back and started thinking about it. I realized that I had become so focused on taking action that action was all I thought about. I had lost touch with the real guaranteed way to make quick easy money – the belief that you can. So, I have taken a step back from frantic action and started focusing on strengthening this belief and guess what… I feel better already!
