No - I'm not just trying out different copywriting headlines.

Let me start off by saying I love MJ's book, the forum, the great people I've met on it, the people I have met in person as a result of meeting them on the forum, the contacts that have been passed along, the lessons I have learned, yadda, yadda, yadda...

But I have found it is also a bit of a two-edged sword. It's very easy on this forum to get distracted from your real work. The stuff that will add value to your life, the lives of others and the customers throughout the world.

The people who are killing it - zend***phin, Vigilante, MJ, ICK, Jack Edwards and so many others, are very generous with their time and I know we all appreciate it. But for those of us who are building businesses, it is very easy to get distracted. Often I find myself:

  • Reading all the motivational posts and watching the videos
  • Posting motivational stuff, articles, etc.
  • Checking my profile to see how many likes I get, watch my rep bank growing, hoping for speed points etc.
  • Letting my ADD kick in when I see someone with a great idea on the forum that is taking off and starting to research how I could learn how to code/copywrite/outsource on elance/hire a VA to make me bank
Please don't get me wrong. I don't write this to criticize the forum in any way. I have learned so much here. I am writing this because I think a lot of newbies (myself included) can easily get distracted and veer a little off their course with the crazy ways to live life in the fastlane.

I thought I saw somewhere on here that Jack Edwards gave some advice about 'Sticking with something to the end, no matter how dumb it seems at times'. Seems like great advice. Part of sticking with it is using the forum to build the line of work you are into. Ask for help, solicit advice and read others who have gone down a similar path. But watch all the exit ramps. Those 'Stuckey's Pecan Log Rolls' signs can be awfully distracting. Stay on that highway until you reach your destination. The sooner you get there the better for everyone!
