These Bad Habits Are Keeping You From Making Money Online

How to create good habits by avoiding the bad

Bad habit #1     Spending too much time reading and “learning” instead of practicing what you’ve learned.

I am a musician and music teacher.  And I’m sure a lot of you reading this are either musicians yourself or have played an instrument.

One thing you know is that the only way you can learn how to play your instrument is by practicing. Practicing many hours.

By practicing I don’t mean keep reading books on how to play your instrument perfectly. Or books on how to become a professional musician. You can read 1,000’s of books on many topics, but you will not learn until you actually start playing. And unfortunately, playing terribly for a long time.

Bad habit #2     focusing on too many projects at once

If you are going to learn how to play flute, don’t also study the clarinet at the same time. The objective is to learn how to play one instrument competently. Once you have learned how to play that instrument then, you can start practicing another on the side.

Your body only has so much stamina and your lip muscles only have so much strength.

And you guitar players know: you’re fingers can only be cut up so much before they won’t play any more.

Bad habit #3     expecting immediate success.

It takes 9 months for the average baby to be born. The baby needs to develop fully before it is delivered. It would be ridiculous for an over-achieving parent to rip the baby out of the mother 5 months early just because they couldn’t wait any more for the child to come out naturally.

It takes time to learn and develop a business. It takes time to learn a language or an instrument.

Don’t rush things. Don’t read too much. Don’t have too high expectactions.

Find a plan. Stick to it. And practice

I have heard that the course Maverick Money Makers is good for beginners. I have  truthfully never checked it out myself because I started marketing online years before the course was invented.  But I do understand that you recieve video training, get a mentor, and have step by step blueprints to follow.

Whatever plan of action you take, just make sure and pick one, follow it, and practice, practice, practice.

      I am soooo guilty of Bad habit #2 focusing on too many projects at once. I have so many balls in the air that I don’t know what project to work on next. That’s why I look forward to the weekends and the cold weather so I can sit in the house and work on my blog.

      i agree with the first two big time, i always have too many projects running at the same time, and it really puts a lot of pressure on me. am working on it at the moment. secondly i think we all do that, try to keep reading and learning new things all the time, which is helpful but then we all got our 24 hours a day and if we don’t use up the learned methods, its as good as a waste…

    5. I have this bad habit of expecting things too soon with out giving sufficient time…… What ever I do I want immediate results which should not be the case………. But you know unless you do mistakes you never learn…….. :)
