Greg, you are very correct. I see it happen all the time... I get people setup and they don't lift one finger to get any traffic.
Here is the secret to making money...
It takes something called EFFORT. Once you find the effort be very consistent about it and before you know it your getting what you want... Sitting around wishing all day, watching TV all day, playing video games all day, making someone else money all day or just "hanging out" all day will not get you financial happiness.
1 in 10 actually stick with and are making it where they want to be. 1 in 10 seems to be the general success ratio in the financial world... For example 1 in 10 businesses fail... So if you try at least 10 times your bound to hit success and the needed lessons learned (failures) will be worth it.
Time to pull up those sleeves and get your hands dirty!
