Silly question, right?
Well, before you dismiss the question…. let me ask you this:
um…ah…um… Yeah, I know… It was on the tip of your tongue.
The sad truth is – most online marketers can more accurately explain what a medical doctor is than an entrepreneur, even though they aspire to be one.
The fallout from this lack of clarity is the primary reason why so many wanna-be entrepreneurs end up broke, frustrated, and confused. More to the point… they end up opportunity-seekers, the polar opposite of strategic entrepreneurs.
A little over a year ago I left an internet marketing seminar feeling disheartened, disillusioned, and disappointed by what I saw. In fact, I was so disturbed I wrote a warning, a prescription for change, a call to arms for entrepreneurs online – The Internet Business Manifesto.
That’s why it’s rather ironic that I am writing this post from my hotel balcony in Sydney, Australia, once again disappointed, depressed, and disturbed by what I witnessed yesterday at an internet marketing event I participated in.
There were 16 speakers, many of whom were clients of mine. It was an impressive lineup of self made entrepreneurs who got to their current position by learning, thinking, working hard, and marketing even harder.
Yet table rush after table rush were for so-called "short-cuts" like Private Label Rights Products, Push Button Software, And you just sit at home and get rich while my company does all the hard work for you type products.
Not one person speaking from the stage got to their current position by any of these methods. You would think that the audience would see that. But if you did, you would be wrong.
