Paying For An Education

This is a subject that befuddles me. I understand there may be financial stress involved, been there done that, but a lot of times not. Folks just want to get something for nothing these days. Not having to pay for internet marketing education seems to be one of those areas.

"I can find all I need to know by Googling", they'll say. "I'm just going to try this and see if I can do any good." Well, if you're just going to "try it", that's as far as it will get, because that's where your mindset is.

I guess the first question you ask yourself is, "Am I wanting this to be the way I make my living? Do I want the freedom this will give me? Do I want this to be the main source of my income?" If the answer is "Yes", then get the right kind of education and pay for it!

Treat It As A Business

Okay, if you wanted to be a lawyer, would you Google all you need to know and go try and pass your Bar Exam? If you want to be a doctor, would you head out to the library to learn everything and get your medical degree? Of course not! So, if this is where you want your career to be, why on earth would you do that here? This is NO different. This is a business. Treat it as such and get a true education.

And guess what? The cost of this education is a mere fraction of the cost of an education to become a lawyer or doctor and you have the potential to make just as much income or more! And the education timeline is way shorter than most of your other careers. Of course, the learning process never stops. That's how you get to be excellent at whatever you do. And cost wise? Your not having to spend thousands and get loans that take you half a lifetime to pay back. To me, this is a no brainer.

If internet marketing is what you truly want to do and succeed at it, then give it the respect it deserves. It's a business. Treat it as such. Get a true qualified education like you would for a real career. Why? Because it IS a real career.

Yes indeed very well said.Thanks for sharing

Awesome post and so very true. Nothing in life is for free, and less is accomplished if you aren't willing to do a bit of hard work along the way. Thanks for sharing.

Great post, Grant - I've read some very negative posts today from people thinking of quitting after a only being here a short time. Guess they'll be going back to their jobs and being just as pissed off for 40 years without giving it a second thought.

Better them than us, Rich!

I like it. Especially *** GIVE IT THE RESPECT IT DESERVES ***.

Yes, there will be a COST involved. Time, effort and money.

Here's something I picked up from a business coach a few years ago (but I forget who it was)...

Ask yourself what you want to achieve.

In our case, it is to "build a successful online business" or something like that.

Now ask what it is going to COST... think not just about money, but about TIME and EFFORT.

Ask yourself what you will have to GIVE UP in order to put in the TIME/EFFORT/MONEY necessary.

Now ask yourself: Am I willing to PAY THE PRICE?

If the answer is "No," or "I'll try," then stop right now.

If the answer is "YES," GET SERIOUS, give **YOURSELF** the RESPECT YOU DESERVE, pay the price and grind it out.

Well said Grant. WA is truly the best affiliate learning platform. Everything is provided, we just need to put forth the effort to learn and build a successful online business. Thanks for sharing.

It really is a great education here!

I agree ... all is a learning curve & we have to be interested .... have to work really hard to make it work ... nothing will just fell in to our laps ... actually Human nature, being what it is, we appreciate what we have worked hard for, rather than getting it easy ... good luck with your WA adventure ...
