We’ll discuss the mindset of those looking for quick earnings versus those aiming for long term business success. Join us as we uncover the real motivations behind this pursuit and what it truly means for aspiring entrepreneurs.

You might experience people who fill out surveys to make money. Basically, they go on these websites that say, make money by filling out surveys. So these people are usually not entrepreneur material. Let’s put it this way. These people are not looking to become an entrepreneur. These people are not looking for freedom. They’re not looking to break away from their boss. They’re not looking for the ability to move around the world freely or moving to a different location. These people are literally trying to grab straws to survive, which means, if tomorrow they have a job offer somewhere, they’re going to take it. Now nothing gets people who want to work a day job.

2:00  

I think day jobs, first, I think not, not everyone’s cut out to be an entrepreneur, that’s for sure. I also think that day jobs, like for most people who walk this earth, having a day job is actually what they want, because they would be able to handle running a business, and they wouldn’t want to deal with  

the stress, the uncertainty, the freedom right, because freedom comes with the opposite end of it, which is having to make your own decisions, and most people don’t like to do that, so most people would actually prefer to have a job, and that’s fine.

2:37  

So I’d qualify people who fill out these surveys as people who want a job, I would qualify these people as non-entrepreneurs, and for that reason, I wouldn’t send them offers about affiliate marketing. And I now say it from experience, because I’ve tried, I’ve, at one point, received access through someone I met at a seminar, they had basically a list of millions of people who filled out these questionnaires about wanting to make money online by filling out surveys, and we promoted stuff to them. Let me tell you, I’ve never had so many people show response like opening and clicking and viewing and watching like 90% of all the sales content materials, scrolling through all the websites, going through all the pages in the funnel, they don’t buy anything, and I’ve completed, the reason they don’t buy anything is either because doesn’t fit the mindset, because They really don’t want to be an entrepreneurs, or because they don’t have the money to buy, as simple as that, these people, I mean, again, they just need an income, like, right now. 

3:47  

So they’re, like, doing things that don’t even make sense. Like, why would somebody pay me to fill out surveys? You know what I mean? Like, we realized that being reasonable people and having common sense, that it’s just why would anyone pay me to just fill out surveys and giving my opinion like it’s not going to happen, like you can’t make an income from it. You have to be useful in some way and provide value, be it as a job, as a job person, or as an entrepreneur person, but you have to provide value of some kind. And you know, filling out an opinion service is not that sort of value, because people give their opinion freely all the time. It’s not certainly something you want to buy.
