This post makes a lot of sense to me to I thought I would put it up here

“There was a thread on the Warrior Forum recently where a guy was
selling his process for making money online. It cost $7. I was
amazed at the number of people who demanded proof before they
would consider ‘investing’ such a huge sum.

There were many nasty comments – coming pretty close to calling
the guy a fraud. Yet the people baying for blood hadn’t bought
his product. They didn’t know if be was a fraud or a saint, but
because he dared to offer them a money making strategy – and
wanted their money (a whole $7) in return – their daggers were in
his back. And his front.

Even when lots of people started posting positive testimonials
about the product, the doubters remained – demanding proof that
the happy customers had made money from the methods being taught.

I didn’t buy, so have no opinion about the product but I sure as
heck have an opinion about the people posting in that thread. I
find it terribly sad that they have become so blinded by
suspicion and cynicism that they can’t even bring themselves to
risk $7 (with a money back guarantee) to try to improve their
lives.

Or is it deeper than that?

Is it that they are, on some level, self aware enough to know
that no matter how good the product might turn out to be they
would still fail. They would read it and forget it – like every
other product they’ve bought. They would question the methods,
over think the strategy and ignore the advice. They would refuse
to take any action and then blame the product, its author, the
method, the Internet in general and anyone or anything else they
can shift the attention to. Because, ultimately, they know that
even spending a mere $7 on the best marketing plan the world has
ever seen will be wasted on them.

The terribly sad thing is that those people are reckoned to make
up the vast majority of folk who buy such products. Maybe 95% of
them!

And worse yet, almost all of us – you, me and nearly everyone I
know – either are, or have been in their shoes.

Lack of activity and therefore lack of success is the default
action of almost everyone.

It is all too easy to be an info product collector and forget to
be an info product user. At some point you have to cross a mental
line and say to yourself “Right. Now I’m going to do it!”

That doesn’t mean you should stop buying new products – far from
it – it means that you read them with an eye to put their golden
nuggets of information into action in your business. Actually -
radical thought though it might be – extracting real value from
what you buy!

I crossed that line a few years ago and haven’t regretted it or
looked back once. When you taste the success that taking positive
action brings you’ll wonder what ever stopped you!

If I were to give you map to the richest gold mine in the world,
it wouldn’t be worth the paper it was drawn on unless you
followed the map and got a shovel out at the end of it.

All any make-money product can ever hope to be is an action
director. It can’t take the action for you. Nothing can do that
apart from you yourself. But it can point you in the right
direction.

When you are on the wrong side of action it sometimes seems like
a daunting mountain that you can never climb. But when you are on
the other side it turns into a molehill.

There is a point to this rant-like message. Trust me!”

I couldn’t put it better than this. Stop procastinatining – just do it!
