Shitty Work Ethic
I’ve always found it odd, sad, and frustrating that more people don’t have success with online marketing. After all, it seems easy peasy to myself. Why isn’t it that way for others?
I think quite often it boils down to shitty work ethic. Lets face it, many people are horrible employees in the real world. Instead of trying to help their company grow and profit, they are usually plotting ways they can avoid additional work at any cost.
How can I get off early? When’s the next break? Should I call in sick? I hate my fucking boss!
All of these phrases are far too common in the workplace. If you are failing in your online endeavors you may want to ask yourself… “have I been a shitty employee?” If so, I’d wager to say you’re probably destined to plummet online as well.
Of course some people get lucky. Others are smart enough or have a stack of cash to just hire others to do everything. But for the guy who has nothing, knows nothing, and is willing to devote only 40% of his abilities to his online business, he’s up shit creek without a paddle.
While I personally tend to believe this internet business is a breeze in comparison to building houses, I also recognize that I was a kick ass employee most of my life. (I say most, because even I have been a bad employee a few times) Even when I was washing dishes as a kid, I always wanted to do the best job possible.
When working on construction sites, I wanted the company to make a nice profit. I’d make sure we didn’t waste materials, the right guys were doing the right job, and I didn’t cheat the time-clock (except for that prevailing wage job in Idaho. The other guys would of kicked my ass if I busted up those 4 hours of non-work for big pay). Basically, I’m the kind of guy you want working for your company.
But in my experience in life I’ve found that many people are horrible employees. They don’t truly care about the business they work for. They are just skimming by, paycheck to paycheck, unhappy and unfulfilled in their jobs.
I don’t care if you are a postman, a pizza delivery boy, a garbage man, a senator or a cop. You better learn to like your damn job and feel lucky you even have one. And be proud of the way you perform it. I have little respect for someone who doesn’t pay attention to their job description and exercise it to their best ability. Cop-out wimps is what they are.
So I want you to ask yourself these questions…
“Have I been a good employee most of my life? Did I do the best job I could when working for XYZ? Did I really give a rats ass about the success of the companies I worked for?”
If you folks are honest with yourself, many of you will have no choice but to say no to those questions. And if that is so, you may have a tough time having success online either. Sure, you may get lucky. You may be able to scam or spam some people into some biz opp bullshit. But ultimately, if you want to have any longevity and peace of mind in this business you have to be good. Really good. And you must have a intense work ethic.
I know myself and many of my friends make this internet business stuff look easy. Some of that is hyperbole, and exaggerated writing. However, some of it is also the pure honest to god truth. In the end, I think the guys that are killing it online are the same guys that loved their paper route. They enjoyed mowing Mrs Anderson’s yard as a kid. And they didn’t bitch when their boss asked them if they could put in a little overtime.
Hard work pays off. Shitty work attracts more shit!
