A recent post on Reddit…
Excerpts 👇
I have a friend who’s been at a job that he dislikes for a while. He’s planned to go out on his own and has talked about it often.
Last fall the plan was to be out of there by December. It’s now the end of January and he’s basically done nothing to make that plan a reality…
Every week goes by where I suggest to him that he do something to take a step towards independence and having his own business.
And with every week he’s got some excuse why he couldn’t get to it.
Excuses like…
- He doesn’t want to put any personal info online
- He hasn’t had time
- He doesn’t think a particular idea will work
It’s very easy to get caught up in that kind of excuse-making, especially the last one.
But here’s the thing: most of your ideas will fail.
And that’s okay 👍
I earn a good living online nowadays, but most of my ideas have failed.
Over the years I’ve tried…
- Writing and selling ebooks (never earned much from that)
- Building crappy niche sites (made $0)
- Making coding tutorials for YouTube (never monetized)
- Starting a language learning YouTube channel (never monetized)
- Selling web design services to Irish pubs (no takers)
- Offering a WordPress setup service (earned a few $100)
- Building a SaaS (had lots of discovery calls but never launched anything)
- Creating and selling my own course (did okay but the ROI wasn’t great)
- Coaching (made some money but didn’t enjoy it)
But through each of those “failures” I gained experience… experience which led me to eventually achieve success 🥳
Back to that Reddit post…
If you’re the type of person who’s had an idea for a business, but never quite got around to it, yet always talks about it – Let today be the day.
Do something.
Rest assured, that something probably won’t work.
But it will 100% move you closer to success 🏆
