I can’t believe the number of times I have fallen for the autopilot concept! But at the end of the day isn’t it always going to be more rewarding to know you did all the work yourself and everything you create is truly good information you want to share honestly with people online?

Hi John!
And what about your eBay income – the “buy now” or late.
Washing, repeating and re-mail mail + business with you
What is not autopilot!?

Hi John
The accepted rule for starting an offline business is that you probably won’t see a profit for 18 months or so. So why do people sit down in front of a PC/laptop and expect these rules to suddenly not apply any more. Sure there are exceptions as in any wlak of life but for the rest of us it’s that four letter word again WORK.
The first lesson I learned from Lee McIntyre was that there is NO EASY BUTTON!
Oh butit’s so easy to fall for the siren call of these emails. Even reading them can be a serious time killer.
So John please keep reminding us and build up our resolve.
Best regards
Doug

John,

If one really wants to start a sucessfull eBusiness, the main thing you need is capital, in terms of skills.

It’s no use if you can only program, only design, only market, only do analytics, only blog etc.

Good post John.
Why is it that some people believe it entirely possible to achieve anything worthwhile without any effort or graft?I just don’t get it.

I know exactly what you mean by not following the auto pilot dream. However, lets not get this mixed up with using automation to our advantage ie to make our work quicker and more efficient and our lives better.Just as we find for instance washing machines, dishwashers, computers help our daily lives there are many examples of useful automation in the business setting. Autopilot income is not possible but many of us aim to work smarter not harder so don’t rule out automation but obviously we need to take care, sometimes there is a fine line. Maybe that’s why so many people fall for the ridiculous sitting on a beach rubbish.

Howdy John,

From the get-go you told me that attaining success on the internet was difficult and requires plenty of continuous effort.

You were absolutely right.

Thank you, mister.

False promises – Exaggerated claims of near instant riches – and the worst of all… Newbies misleadingly positioning themselves as experts. (LOL don’t get me started John)

The majority of people just don’t want to do anything but still get wealthy. So they chase the push button wealth fallacy.

It easier to believe that you can make 2 million in 2 minutes with no email list… because when you fail you can blame that lying product maker that told you so.

BUT… It is HARD to just put in the hard WORK yourself because if you fail you have to point the blame at yourself.

It is fear that compels the lot of us. That same fear preclude most from success. BUT…..

Learning to harness that fear is key. I for one was so afraid of failure that I FORCED myself to succeed by WORKING my ass off!

I think subscribing to auto pilot riches, is part of a learning curve most of us newbies go through.

In my naivety I actually believed some of the sales letters. Because it was in black and white it must be true, they wouldn’t dare lie, would they?…..Well they would for their personal god; money.

You are ethical enough to mention the dreaded four letter word WORK. Once people accept this concept, they can get on with building a business. 8)
