Opportunity Is For Those Who Are Prepared
Today, I listened to Jasmine Star's podcast. She just hit 1 million downloads of her podcast show. She talked about creating something from nothing. I think for people who just started or thinking of starting an online business, it's worth to listen to. When you look at people from the online world, you see a lot of successful cases. Yes, they are very successful, have a lot of followers, earn a stable 6 figures every month.
But they didn't tell you much about how they go from nothing to a millionaire. They've all been through a similar journey. Only a few people showed up to their first few events, no one listens to their podcast when they first started, only got one or two sales for their online courses...there are many similar stories out there.
So, you're not alone. Or I should say we're not alone. All of us need to start somewhere. There is no overnight success. It all takes time and effort. There is no short cut. So I always believe in this - Opportunity is for those who are prepared. It might sound a bit negative but this is true.
For example, if someone today comes to me and asks me to do a podcast interview, I'd happily say yes. I am not scared because I am doing it. I know how to do it. I have my own podcast channel so this person can share and promote my channel to a wider audience.
If someone asked me if I have taught people before or coached people in the past because they want me to speak to a group of college students on doing online business. Again I would say yes. I have done courses and 1 on 1 coaching and they can find them on my membership site. So, I don't have to create something quickly and try to grab this kind of opportunities.
So what I wanted to say is to keep doing what you are doing. You might feel like you are going nowhere, but that is not true. It's all worth it at the end.
Remember, the opportunity is for those who are prepared.
