Why do so many people say they’re interested in becoming “successful” entrepreneurs and do nothing about it?

How many folks are committed to financial freedom, yet consistently offer up twenty-seven reasons they haven’t “got-it-together” yet?

I’m sick of it and it’s time to have a rant.

Read on to find out what holds these wannabes back and what you can do to get results FAST…

I was having dinner with a great friend and client of mine last week, when these questions came up during conversation.

Like a responding to a super-market checkout operator who asks “how’s your day?”… I dismissed the questions with a standard, out-of-the-box answer.

Why do so few people achieve real success? Simple: Only a very tiny group get their head in the place that creates big success.

But like a super-market operator who follows you home and spies through your windows, the question continued to prey on my mind.

Making money

I’ve witnessed the simple recipe for biz success – actioned by total amateurs to produce astounding piles of cash (in record time). Sometimes, the folks driving all the money-making are also rewarded with freedom and control over their time as well!

So what is the simple formula – that most people need in order to quit making excuses and make money?

1. Get ignorant

2. Find a strategy that works

3. Mindlessly copy it

First off, embracing your inner idiot is important. Give up the notions that you have about how to be successful.

I’m sorry, but if they were valid, correct or useful ideas then you’d already be a millionaire right?!

The harsh truth: All those ideas you’ve got – and the reasons why you can’t action them – are just an advanced form of excuse making.

Get ignorant by admitting you’ve got everything to learn. The knowledge you currently possess has produced the results you’re enjoying today… right?

It’s time to learn something new – start by realising you don’t already know it all.

Finding a strategy that works happens when you realise you’re ignorant.

You’ve cut through the bull$&%# and you’re not making excuses. Now you have to find someone who has done what you’re wanting to do.

In Neuro Linguistic Programming (an entire field devoted to this process of “copying for success”) there are libraries full of books on how to copy genius strategies – no matter what industry or weird field they’re from.

Mindlessly copying the experts is something 99% of the wanna-bes miss.

Many believe their years of intellectualising and non-action give them a license to “do things differently” yet get the same results as the millionaire guru who they’re copying.

I see this all the time with businesses with proven cold-calling marketing strategies.

Franchise owners freak out about making the calls and convince themselves that since they’re so special, they’ll be successful super-stars without ever picking up a phone.

Again, I call bull$%#*

There is a reason Richard Branson, Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump have become ultra tycoons – thinking you can do it different and somehow “better” is at best, woefully ignorant.

In Rich Dad Poor Dad, Kiyosaki talks about his background.

This guy spent years working for Xerox developing “sales skills” and learning how to consistently perform, despite being outside his comfort zone.

Why then do so many dreaming entrepreneurs think they can launch their idea into a big business without any sales and marketing experience?

Ultimately, it’s a tough learning curve building your own business.

Any one else who tells you otherwise is either lying, or trying to sell you something.

Quit making excuses and follow the simple formula.

It’s worked for hundreds of people (who are now probably lying on a beach somewhere) and it sure beats sitting around trying to think of reasons to explain why you’re not producing results.

Rant over.
