And so the richy rich promises go on and on and on…
No matter what business venture you are about to enter, whether it is online, offshore or home based, would you read further? The amateurs would, on the other hand, the experienced will also read it, why? In order to laugh at the busted promises, such words make. Many end up being victims, The powerful words used to entice the reader are very intricately woven, because they know their prey’s psyche, and that is what makes them successful (and readable).
It’s true that everybody these days wants to gain chunks of money through internet or through any other business or any idea they could get hold of.
ENTREPRENEUR has thus evolved as being the coolest term these days. Everyone wishes to term themselves as an entrepreneur. It sounds cool and hip, makes one in vogue. Entrepreneur! become richy rich overnight.
Twitter, facebook and blogging etc, have given birth to a new way of making money, which is, catching the target through online presence.
A few days back I heard someone saying,
“My son is an Entrepreneur”. Ending it with a sarcastic laugh, “That is what you say when you don’t have a job.”
I did not know whether it was a joke or what. So with a little chuckle I turned the conversation towards a new topic which was miles away from Entrepreneurship. But this does not solve the problem, entrepreneurship is a big”?” (Question mark)
The other day a notification from twitter said, ABC is following you on Twitter. I logged in at twitter in order to search that particular ABC, and what I discovered was three tweets on ABCs profile which said,
“Now how to make money through twitter? Someone help me make some moneyyyy puleeezzz.”
Rich overnight, with minimum effort? Well yes, this is often the main goal of all the acquisition presented to us. Are these flop online marketing efforts? Most of these appear out of insecurity, instability and a desire of reaching the top with minimal effort within a minimal time. These are the key ingredients of failure. Lack of identifiable goals and role models often lead one towards the wrong way.
“Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.” E Joseph Cossman
“A Leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way” John C Maxwell
You must be thinking who exactly was John and why did he quote this line, simply because John C Maxwell is a leadership expert. He has had the honor of training 5 million leaders across the world. In order to jump in something new experience is required, and this experience can be achieved through “the experienced”. A role model, a guide is necessary for reaching the top. Because his experiences and ideas help you choose the right way.
Do not choose your way on your own, guidance is highly necessary. Because over confidence may not be the key to successful planning and healthy growth. That is what Larry Kersten meant when he said,
“Overconfidence – Before you attempt to beat the odds, be sure you could survive the odds beating you.”
Take risks only when you know that you are ready for them, remember, support, experience and passion are the key towards successful entrepreneurship.
“Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to role the dice with their money or reputations on the line in support of an idea or enterprise” Victoria Claflin Woodhull
It’s time that we should be aware of these false acquisitions, as (often) they are mere words pulling their targets towards them. Falling prey to such exciting and enticing words does not always work out.it all comes through hard work. Figure out what you want to do, how you want to do it and when exactly are you ready for it. Because at the end of the day
“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow, Not next week but Today. The true Entrepreneur is a doer not a dreamer” Nolan Bushnell

Good to see you back! nice article.
As an entrepreneur, I also became rich overnight. But it was a long night.
Was it encouraging or discouraging? I am confused :P
Goood piece of information!!! I feel myself as one of the doer as well! :)
Being skilled and educated we all must avail more oppurtunities to serve the humanity first and then to anything else (making money, etc)!
