I’ve got a love-hate relationship with forums.

I love sharing what I know and helping others.

But I hate seeing the same (broke) people yap yap yappin’ away every day when they should be out there implementing.

Like the guy who asks for a copywriting critique then doesn’t make any of the suggested changes.

Or the girl asking questions about each and every new product launch like IT is going to be her savior. (And you just KNOW she didn’t do anything with the last one.)

Or worse yet…

…the mindless gossip and pointless drivel about who did what and why your world is going to end because of it.

And then they wonder why they can’t make this “marketing” thing work.

Listen, no doubt there’s gold in dem dar hills — I’ve picked up tricks n tactics worth a mint and even launched a side business directly from a single forum.

But I didn’t do it by talking.

And I didn’t do it by changing my direction every second day.

I did it by capturing an idea and immediately taking action on it.

Speed of implementation is the #1 skill you can master.

See, the greatest benefit of forums is also their greatest weakness — Information… Too much information… Conflicting information.

You’ve got one person saying X is the best thing to do. Another says Y is best. And another says X + Y is the only way to go. Then someone else says ABC crushes X and Y and you’d be an idiot to do things any other way.

Fact is, A, B, C and X, Y, Z are most likely all beneficial.

There’s probably a thousand people making a killing with each of them.

And if you take the time to implement and perfect any of them you’ll make more money tomorrow than you do today.

You’ve just got to realize NOTHING will work until you work it.

The worst idea poorly executed will always make more money than the perfect plan in your head. The laziest attempt at a half-baked idea will always make more money than the best advice never acted on.

Forums are great — you can meet like-minded people, and if you’re willing to sift through the crap there are nuggets of gold… just remember if the gun’s to your head you need ACTION not advice.

Talk soon

P.S. You know how every once in a while you get an “ah ha” moment and everything suddenly becomes clear? Like you just “get it” and suddenly go from feeling confused and scared to being confident and able to take action on your ideas…

I had one of those moments when I got Jason’s “48 Hour Info Products” course. It turned product creation from something I dreaded into a fun and fast process I now actually enjoy.
