Why are there so many people that can build a web site, but so few that can actually make money from it? Why is it that there are all these web development firms out there who specialize in building web sites, but once your site is built you are left with a liability?
Most people simply do not treat the Internet like a business. They think it's some magical place where you can throw anything together and you will make a fortune.
I always see people wasting time on certain tasks and projects in their life. They are always spending time getting the details just right and getting everything completed perfectly. That's fine if they get it done, but they don't - the details consume them. This is especially common with web designers (I know because I am one) although I suspect pretty much every profession suffers from this.
The more research I do about life, God and religion the more I come to the following conclusion about atheists and myself: I agree with pretty much everything atheists say except their conclusions. I would even go as far as saying that most atheists kind of have an "employee" type mentality. They are good at analyzing details and being machines, but bad at putting things together and grasping a whole concept (I'm down with being proven wrong here if I am - I wish there were stats to show the ratio of atheist employees/businessmen vs spiritual employees/businessman). I'm not just targeting atheists here either, I am targeting anyone who is an employee for reasons within their control.
I think this is a fun question to take on so I will try my best to answer it and provide my opinion.
I KNOW this post title is going to work some people up - as it should. But you wanna know what works me up? SCHOOL! Okay, maybe the title is a bit harsh, school is useful in some situations. But rather than going there just because you don't know what the hell else to do I think everyone should at least consider what you're going to get out of it rather than simply saying "I want to get my basics out of the way" or "I need to go to school to learn how to do my profession".
A friend of mine recently asked me why I want to become rich. This is a great question and I think everybody should ask themselves these types of questions from time to time. They help keep you focused and on track. I find it extremely important to understand why you do what you do.
So I upgraded my phone the other day and as a special one-time sale, I was able to get a mail-in rebate! Oh wait, this is not cool and a total joke and waste of time.
What is Analysis Paralysis you ask? It's when people get too caught up over analyzing every little single detail and never actually do anything productive. Most people are familiar with the saying Ready, Aim, Fire! As my hero Steve Pavlina says, most people usually follow the pattern ready, aim, aim, aim, aim, aim... Where's the FIRE!? The world is riddled with people who often spend too much time aiming and not enough time firing.
The more I think about this the more I think it's true: employees take each day one at a time and enjoy the most of it, while businessman are always trying to make a better future for themselves.
So about a year ago I decided I was going to start an eBay business and dominate the whole world. As it turns out I ended up getting wrecked and learned a valuable lesson.
