About My Friend Harold And You

December 25, 2005 12:27 am

Have you ever seen those “get-paid-to-surf”… programs?
Or maybe those “get-paid-to-take-surveys”… programs?

My friend Harold tried those.

I remember he was so excited, until he got his first check.
A whopping $6.21 U.S.

That worked out to about 28 cents per hour.

Needless to say, he doesn’t do those anymore. In fact, he
won’t even consider working any kind of business anymore.
“After all,… he tells himself, they don’t work”.

His theory is, if you have to pay money to own a business,
then it’s not a legitimate business.

His other theory is, if you can get into a business for
free, then it’s not a legitimate business.

Do you know anyone like that?

When confronted with the fact that most independently
wealthy people got that way by starting and running
businesses, people like Harold will say they just got
lucky. Or they knew the right people. Or they were born
with a silver spoon in their mouth.

He’ll never admit that anyone and everyone can build their
own prosperous business, because then he’d have to admit
that he could do it, too. It’s far easier for him to sit
and complain than it is for him to create the life he
wants.

Anyone with the right tools and knowledge can start their
own successful business. This is doubly true of an Internet
business, because you can build an Internet business any
time of day or night, from the comfort of home.

Does it take work? You bet! As you know, get
rich-doing-nothing-schemes don’t work because the world
doesn’t work that way. You reap what you sow.

But having a successful Internet business doesn’t have to
be difficult, either. Find someone who knows what they’re
doing, then let them teach you everything they know.

Or better yet, get the one and only Internet franchise that
has everything you need to succeed. You just add work and
dedication. You can do that. Harold could do that, if he
wanted to.

Instead, he’s working at the same job he’s been at for 16
years. Same grind, same lousy boss, same long hours, same
commute to and from work, same low wage. Not to mention the
same small house with the same 8 year old car, and a
whopping two weeks of vacation per year, which he spends at
home because he can’t afford to go any where.

As you can imagine, the one thing Harold has done is
perfected his complaining skills.

You can’t change the Harold’s of the world.

But you can choose not to be one of them.
