Act Like a Dumb Fish and Get Caught!

Every. Single. Day....

...someone comes to me here within chat or asks me privately, “Hey Kyle, what do you think of this product?”

My answer is alway the same. “I don’t know?”

Because I don’t know. The thing I do know is that everything you need to succeed online is here within the Wealthy Affiliate community. The tools, the support, the training, the networking.

Sure, there might be some OK programs out there, but the more you continue to “seek” that shiny object, the more and more you are acting like a fish...and in many cases, a dumb fish.

Let me get to that though (by no means am I calling you dumb).

There are two types of businesses in this world.

There are those that are successful and those that fail. YOU are a business, lets remember this...I am not referring to some corporate entity. You are an entrepreneur and you want success...therefore you are a business.

In respect to my fish analogy, there are lots of fish out there in the water competing for food. The same way that there are a lot of people online looking to earn money.

BUT, many fish swim around looking for shiny things to pop-up.

When it does, they bite and often times they get caught by a scam, “fake bait” which only ends up leading to their demise.

The exact same thing is happening online. People (fish) are searching for food (money) and they will go towards any shiny object, rather than figuring out how to properly seek out their own food.

These people get taken complete advantage of unfortunately and buy into every shiny thing that is put in front of them. These are typically scams and these shiny objects lead them to getting caught before they ever have a chance to become a big fish.

The big fish play it cool, take their time, and end up getting as much food as they want!

And often times decide to just eat the small fish...because they can. They are the big fish!

I want you to make a decision today. Do you want to be a big fish or a small fish?

If you come to me asking me about something shiny, I am going to send you to this post. Everything you need to become a big, powerful fish that doesn’t need to seek out the shiny lures that are set out each and every day, here within the community.

If you get eaten going forward, it is not my fault. You have been warned!

Are you making fun of my fish in that Einstein quote :(

This has nothing to do with fish climbing trees? That was going to be my next post...once you are a big fish, you can start to work on climbing...

In summary, focus and persistance earns the cash. Great advice. Thanks Kyle.

Exactly!

I need to spend more time...but thanks for the good post, Kyle!

The time and effort you put into something is in direct correlation to what you get out of it.

wonderful post Kyle, thanks for all you do!

No problem! ;) Glad you liked it.

Great comment, everybody unfortunately is looking for that fast, easy buck without putting any time or energy into it - anything thing that is worthwhile requires effort and work that just the way it is. Its so easy to get sucked into the emails that promise you everything and once you bite never deliver. Only been here for a month and have decided to get of my butt and not go for the shiny things and have learnt so much already. Thank Kyle and Carson and everybody in the chat room

Yeah, I think once you bite once it is easier to bite again in the future. It becomes a habitual process of building up hope, buying, realizing that something doesn't work or requires work, and then moving onto the next shiny thing.

You have everything it takes Debbie to succeed online and I look forward to hearing about your successes going forward!

Thanks Kyle for sharing. Great Post

No problem Jorge, glad you enjoyed it

:D

Hey thanks, just goes to prove to me , I am doing just fine. Slow but sure. I might even be a salamander.

Salamanders are good, they don't go after shiny stuff. You are doing just great, keep moving forward. It is all part of the path to success!

But the Salamanders hide under rocks. We need to put ourselves out there.

nice article Kyle, thanks for sharing.

No problem, glad you enjoyed it and stay away from all the shiny lures out there!

Those shiny objects are tempting. But, I am going to be a big fish, is a whale a fish? I will gulp all the others up! lol

A whales is the biggest fish in fact and the term "whale" is actually used within the affiliate industry as a "top affiliate".

I hope you succeed too! But a whale is a mammal, not a fish. lol :)

I could not agree more.

Lures everywhere out there in the IM world, almost becoming more like a seine net where people feel they have no choice other than being caught.
