Anyway, some good points... Nevertheless if the subject was as simple as you make it sound then surely we'd all be doing it already and Steve wouldn't need to write the articles? Far from complicating it, I'm trying to see if there are some basics here which we can all apply, and yes, you did name some.
Could I ask how you are applying it all? Maybe we could all share and learn from each other in a practical way. For example, when you said "just do it", you are of course, right... However maybe it would help more people if you said how? Up to you of course, it's your business and you can keep it that way:-) |
Hehe, no problem for me going into more detail. Since you can only give away what you have, the best way to really know something is by causing others to know. So I'm happy to share

As to your comment on why Steve uses many words, I think that's necessary to get as many people as he can to benefit from it. When I say, "just do it", one person might say, ofcourse that's it, while someone else might say, eh.. sure, do what? By devoting a couple of thousand words to it, I (meaning, Steve
) might paint a few different pictures and hopefully a clear one, so that every person can find the picture that makes him/her understand what I'm trying to explain.
Then for why I (as in, me
) use so little, and make it so "simple", that's because I truely think it IS that simple. This world, this society, had made many things so over complicated, so difficult, when there is really no need for it. And that's why I love this site, Steve's articles, and this forum with it's earnestly seeking visitors. They all help me get back to that basic simplicity.
The problem with questions like "how do I get rich" or "how did the millionaires get rich" is that there are as many stories as there are millionaires... And to me, Steve's point is, forget them, forget the path they took, forget the money they made, seek inward. If you find within you something you love to do, and your brain is able to form a service or product to go along with that, you are ready to stop the thinking and start the doing. Turn thought into reality.
And only you can decide how to do that in your situation. I don't know what you love to do, I don't know where your passion is, or your skill. If you were to tell me more about it, I might help you figure out YOUR path. That way you can stop trying to deduct your path from other people's path (which if fine, don't get me wrong, I just think if you want to know what to do in your situation, focussing on your situation is the faster way to clarity).
If you tell me what you love, I'm sure I can think of a few things that will turn your love into products or services that people might like to buy. But realise that in order for you to do this, you'll have to work hard, no matter what you choose. You'll have to have discipline. There is no magic shortcut that you can do that will make you a millionaire, all the while making it possible for you to lay on the couch all day and eat cookies. And the cool thing is, that if you figure out a way to turn your passion into a product, you'll LOVE to do that, you'll LOVE to work. And that's why, at that point, the money will come (people love to pay for passion), and you won't even care that much anymore. And that's why thinking of something to do "that will make money" will never get you to your truth. Money is a means, not an end.
Hope this helps
