Show Up Confidently

Quick Recap: Admit that you help. It’s okay to seek for direction and help. Then create a product to a pressing need. Turn what you have into a solution to someone's problem. These are from my previous articles, can you remember?

Show up confidently

This is you bringing your value, product (solution) to the marketplace. This is when you get the least engagements and responses from people. This is when it will somehow “choke” you.

Building a brand online requires a lot of mental energy and focus. Not many have the capacity to do this for long. Don’t be fooled by what you see. Building online is not easy. Worse is when try it without a guide (mentoring

But the returns? They are always worth it.

As you show up with your value online, be prepared because:

• You will be ignored.

• You will be taken for granted.

• You will face rejection.

• You will be misunderstood.

• You will be called a scammer.

The list is endless but I guess you got my point already.

The online space is not for the faint of heart. You need the courage to make anything happen here.

You must be patient because anything good takes time to build. Think long-term. Don’t be carried away by the initial challenges.

The bad news about online ventures is that it is naturally hard. The good news however is that it’s strategically easy.

If it’s the bag you want to secure online, I have three things you must never forget;

1. There is more money in your mind than in your muscles.

2. Money follows energy – your attitude is more important than your knowledge.

3. The money is in the list.

Side Note

While you make money online, you should as know how to manage and secure your assets.

Let me share how a friend lost $400 online and how you can avoid the same stupid mistake.

A Story from A Friend

“A long time ago, I think 4 years ago or thereabout. I met this guy online who was promoting a website that gives people 35% of any money invested after 14 days. I had been following him for like 4 months then. I actually saw everything. The payout and all.

The website was actually paying people after 14 days. I saw it all.

The guy was promoting it for obvious reasons – he's paid a commission for every person that uses his link to invest.

Around that period, I think I needed money then to do something very important, can’t really remember what. And I happened to have $400 in my account…My part of the money was $100, while the $300 belonged to a friend who said I should keep for him till the following month.

So, my stupid mind told me to quickly invest the money into a website I know nothing about. The one knows the owner and there was nothing like customer care or support line (many red flags).

But I took the risk risk because I was obviously foolish, stupid and greedy.

That was his I patiently waited for 14 days. I logged into the website to check on my investment and earning as well as to request for withdrawal. But I met “Currently upgrading”…

One month passed, no payment. It was at the time I invested my money that the the website decided to crash. Throughout that period, I was always sweating and purging 😅.

I then went on Facebook and saw that I wasn’t the only one. Thousands of people were complaining.

I had to look for a way to pay my guy (the friend that gave me $300 for keep). How was I supposed to tell him I lost his money because I was greedy and foolish?

It pained me. And since then I don’t invest in anything I can’t control…”

Don’t be foolish like my friend was to still fall for these Ponzi scams. Christmas is here. A harvest season for scammers.

On the other hand, why is it so hard for you to believe in yourself by investing the money in yourself and learning a skill (preferably a high-income skill)?
