The Get Rich Quick Mentality
Building any kind of business takes time, money, energy and
focus. Obviously some businesses take more or less of each
ingredient. Internet businesses are no different than a
traditional brick and mortar business, except for the fact that
they can cost substantially less to get started. That's why they
are so attractive to a lot of people.
For some reason however, the internet is filled with get rich
quick schemes and scams and all though many are not schemes or
scams, they just don't work. With that said, there is a whole
segment of internet entrepreneurs that want to make as much
money as they can as fast as they can.
As if you haven't noticed, the get rich quick mentality is
rampant on the net, and it's getting worse everyday. There is a
vicious cycle that just seems to perpetuate itself and I'm not
sure which came first, the hucksters or the prospectors. In
other words, the people selling get rich quick or the people
searching for it. It seems as though there are opportunity
seekers out there who are asking to be scammed.
What has perpetuated this kind of thinking is a lack of vision
in the internet businessperson. It doesn't matter what kind of
business you are involved in, you have to take the time to do
the necessary work to make your business successful. Sure, lots
of people are able to make decent sums of money rather quickly
on the net, but these kinds of businesses won't last. In a few
months, many of the people that are getting rich quick today,
will be on to something else because they were only able to make
money for a limited amount of time with their latest deal.
Wouldn't you rather have a business that you can build on, that
you can make grow and that will last for a long time and produce
income for years for you and your family instead of having to
rebuild your income every year? This is the most important point
