It Used To Make Sense, But It Keeps You Poor Now
Back in the days of the cavemen, being skeptical of things would help you avoid eating poisonous stuff or getting eaten by a lion.
Pretty high ROI trait.
These days, being skeptical kind of just delays you.
Of course, you need to beware of scammers and people selling courses about stuff they’ve never done…
But in general, if you are paralysed by fear and worry - you are killing your results.
For example.
Let’s say there is a program that can help solve your exact problem, but you are so skeptical that you decide to not ‘waste’ your money, and keep trying to solve it yourself. It’s not worth it anyway.
But then it takes you an extra few hours, months, or years.
In that time, you could have wasted your money on shit courses 5 times over, and then finally made it work on the 6th time, and still been in the green compared to the skeptical guy.
The wasted time is MUCH worse than the wasted money.
Money is infinite. It is everywhere.
Time is not. Every second you lose, you can never get it back.
And even if you wanted to value your time at $250 per hour.
You would have lost thousands of dollars worth of time.
If there is something that can make me more money, solve my problem, or accelerate my life in any way, it is an insta buy.
I genuinely don’t understand when people sit there thinking for weeks about what they have to do.
And I’ve seen that with my best clients too.
They seek to understand something, decide it is likely to solve their problem, then take action.
You have probably seen the same thing:
Anyone that is scrambling over guarantees, asking tonnes of questions or anything like that becomes a shitty client 9 times out of 10.
Your best clients will understand your value, and move forward.
Simple as.
Action taking ✅
Living in fear of theoretical outcomes ❌
