Hi guys, Zionbar here with another truth pill for you to swallow...
Im not a huge fan of motivation content, I think most of it is a waste of time tbh, but i've read so many negative comments on here recently of ppl whining about this method and that method, and thats dead and this doesnt work anymore, so i wanted to give you my 2 cents on it, hopefully itll help some of u .
You’re all here to make money, no doubt about that.
I mean, that’s the one of the biggest reasons most ppl join this forum (there are many others, but id argue thats the main one).
However, many of us on here, suffer from a deadly condition which limits your ability to turn knowledge into cold hard cash.
What is that condition you wonder? It’s called Lazy-tis and unfortunately it is very contagious. and no, WebMed can't help you with this one.
What is Lazytis?
This condition has been around for years, but only a few of those on the forum have managed to cure themselves of that disease.
It is an illness which affects your mind, productivity, and health. Seriously.
Its the same illness that makes you say to yourself " i dont feel like doing kw research right now, ill just watch my netflix show and tomorrow morning ill get back to it"
or " seo is dead, i wont start a site, instead, ill play call of duty (or whatever ppl are playing nowadays)"
People with this illness have no goals, ambitions and action taking behaviour.
They sit on their backsides and expect to see results with extraordinarily little work. and then what? when things take time they shout off the roof tops
"SEO IS DEAD! AFM IS DEAD! IT DOESNT WORK! F*** MAKING MONEY ONLINE, IM OUT!"
They develop this problem because of comfort, and laziness. thats all that is.
Have you ever heard the phrase “Give a man consistent sex, a full belly, and cheap entertainment, and he’ll throw his ambitions right out the window”.
It is 100% true and can explain majority of problems in todays worlds. No one has that hunger anymore.
If you want to see results, and make changes to your life, then this is what you need to get started.
What is the cure to Lazytis?
The cure to this illness, you need to turn on the switch in your head and go into “BEAST Mode”.
Everyone has untapped access to this source of power, but it takes a little push to see it through.
Beast mode is the ideology of taking what is yours. If you want success, you don’t sit around waiting for results, you go out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN.
This applies to all areas of your life whether it is making money, relationships, fitness and more.
But Z, How do I switch to BEAST mode?
EASY. After reading this thread, grab a pen and paper, and write down all of the things you WANT to have.
Read what i wrote again. WANT to have. not NEED to have.
If you settle for what you need, then you can just go to walmart, get a blanket, 3 cans of tuna, and some water, and live a very mediocre life.
Its not a big enough goal. and ure also being very selfish.
Why selfish?
What about ur mom? ur dad? ur fam? ur friends?ur community?
Wouldn't you like to have so much money, that you can help all of them with their problems? wouldn't that be amazing?
How about getting so rich you can 'buy your momma a new house' like the rappers say?
Maybe help out ur friend thats struggling, and give me $1000 cash just to give him a little push, because u can afford it?
Stop settling. You know you can do more and aim higher.
To increase ur productivity, here are a few more tips id like to share w/u. some are known, but have helped me personally, a lot.
1. Limit porn (hard i know)
I know u hate reading this one, me too. Look, im not gonna tell u not to watch porn. i think its healthy every once in a while, preferably get ur girl, guy, or circle (its 2021 u can be with whomever u want) and have some sexy time.
BUT, as internet marketers that sit on our i-MACS all day (apple rules
) we are very prone to distractions, and porn, is probably one of the biggest ones.I know it hurt me a lot but u learn to control it, u have to be mindful of it. If ure having a hard time, set a time on the day that u can watch porn, i know it sounds funny, but it worked for me and a lot of my friends.
Otherwise u find urself watching the weirdest shit online and wasting ur time. then a day goes by, a week, a month, a year, and u still havent started ur online project.
So be careful with that.
2.Weightlifting & exercise
You don’t need to train to become the IFBB PRO like the @Blackhat Lifter , but weightlifting should be a staple in every persons diet.
Weight lifting not only challenges you physically but mentally too. seriously. if youre not hitting the gym ure missing out.
to me - weight lifting is a must. i love it, in fact, im in my under armour clothes right now and ill be heading to the gym right after writing this post. try it, i promise ull fall in love eventually. itll keep u sharp.
Being fat and feeling sluggish all day from eatin a ton of crap, surely wont help u focus nor will it help ur motivation levels. im sure u see why.
“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.” - Socrates
3.STUDY & then TAKE ACTION, DONT JUST STUDY:
When u study new methods - make sure u implement.
Heres how i generally go about new methods of making money online :
1. Briefly understand what the method is about, shouldnt take long.
2. Analyze it and see if its something i wanna be in (is it scalable? will it make me enough money for my standards [everyones different] is it somethinng i wanna do? do i believe in it? and so on)
3. if you're moving forward with this method, continue learning it while taking action. if not, FORGET ABOUT IT AND ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
DO NOT GO ON LEARNING FOR WEEKS WITHOUT IMPLEMENTING. LEARN FOR A BIT, IMPLEMENT. LEARN MORE, IMPLEMENT THE NEXT PART. AND SO ON.
So for instance : lets say ure starting building affiliate sites. heres u go about it. [as an example of the process]
A. learn how to find the right keywords
B. now go and find the god damn keywords(!!!) - dont move on and dont learn anything else before u do that.
C. learn how to build a wordpress website
D. BUILD THE DAMN SITE
E. learn the next part
F. implement that part!!
U get it? learn, take action, learn more, more action.
A ton of ppl in IM fall to the 'endless learning loop' where they keep learning and learning and by the time they get to the end, they're not even taking action.
Very inefficient! avoid that at all cost.
4.Accountability:
VERY IMPORTANT. If you're serious, tell people about ur goals. tell your best friend "hey in a week from now i'll have an amazon site running, heres $100. If i dont have the site by then, u keep the $100."
do that, and believe me, ull have that site up and running
another great tip -
Get a whiteboard. seriously Just head to Amazon and buy one, they’re like twenty bucks.
this little piece of plastic has changed my life for the better. Every month, I wipe it clean and start the goals for the month.
This month “March 2021”, I wrote a section entitled workouts, where I schedule my Mon- Fri routine. In the next section, I wrote the book I am about to read as well as how many pages I will be reading per day (Book total/days in month). In the next section, I write my current goals i.e.
- Write 10 posts for niche site 1.
- Buy 100 shares of X company.
- Start that website iv been dwelling on for a few months now.
Do this for every month and see your productivity soar.
You no longer have to rely on “in the moment” actions because the goal is in front of your face written on a whiteboard.
Now you have no excuse to do it and believe me, it’s a crappy feeling seeing your daily goals listed and you decide to “give it a miss” That’s the beauty of the accountability of a whiteboard. To stay on top of things, you’re forced to do it otherwise you accumulate a longer day tomorrow making up for lost time.
OK Z, how does this apply to making money online?
Some of you may have already put 1+1 together and have noticed that the above actions will get you off your backside and ready to put the work in.
Without a concrete goal, and steps to get there, you won’t get anywhere. Pick a method, and stick to it until it works. give it time, be consistent, and it will work, eventually.
Sure, you may make a few bucks with doing one CPA method here, one TikTok video there and one website article there but this will not get you to your desired goals.
Set up a plan and get to work.
Do the work required and see the results.
It won’t happen in 7 days, or 30 days, but sooner or later, it all adds up and you will get to the finish line.
Take ur god damn time. We live in a society were we have 0 patience.
You know how many ppl pm me about my guide for instance, asking "will I be able to make money the first day"?
DA FUCK kinda question is that??? if its not profitable within 10 min, then ure out? cmon man, that mentality will get u NOWHERE, i guarantee u that.
Try to think LONG-TERM.
Look at freakin amazon.com. did u know their retail side (that whiteboard u just ordered) was NOT MAKING THEM MONEY FOR YEARS? WHAT?! YES YES YES!
Amazons retail side wasnt even profitable for years.(google it)
The banked on crushing other companies with their long term thinking.
Jeff said - " ill sell the whiteboard at a loss for 5 years."
Well why the heck would u do that, jeff?
Jeff :" because in 5 years, ill be the only man standing, ill outsell everybody these 5 years because im the cheapest, then all my competitors will have to shut down.
AND then ill sell these shitty white boards for whatever price i want , because then guess what? there will be no more competitors left
". or something like that. (not an actual quote of jeff bezos, dont sue me u rich bastard)Seriously, good things take time. breath. put in the work. no ones chasing u. just learn, take action and ull get there, i promise u.
P.S. there is no finish line. there are no limits. its all in our heads.
Hope this thread got u moving, even a little bit.
Love y'all <3
Z
