IWillTeachYouToBeRich - If you have doubts, read this

Hey Reader, here's a wild stat...

When I asked readers, over half of them told me they’ve been thinking about starting a business for years.

Think about that. Years!

We want the freedom of an online business … we spend the time and mental energy thinking about it for years … and yet we get nowhere.

Sure, we read blog posts about it. 

We think about what life would be like if we had a business.

We dream about setting our own hours, working from home (or a coffee shop), buying a round of drinks for our friends — or even sending them an unexpected gift — and never worrying about the cost.

We WANT an online business. 

So when presented with the opportunity to follow a step-by-step system that's delivered proven results and learn exactly how to build our own online business, something very peculiar happens.

Doubt sets in.

There are three fascinating ways this doubt manifests itself.

• "What if I don't have a business idea?"
• "What if I'm not an expert?"
• "What if I don't have a website?"
• "What if I live in ____?"
• "What if I try this and don’t follow through?"

All of these are powerful and very real emotions. But they're not valid reasons to avoid starting a business.

Notice that even though I’ve answered those questions repeatedly (Earnable DOES help you identify a business idea, even if you’re not an expert, and on and on), our mind still drifts back to What-if’ing!

“Yeah, I know Ramit says Earnable will help me find an idea, but what if...”

The truth is, everyone who created something valuable — whether it’s an online business, a work of art, even a great speech — faced doubts like these. The difference is, they trusted themselves enough to acknowledge these doubts, then set them aside and took action.

This is the equivalent of saying, “I’m too busy to do ___,” when in reality, we all have the same 24 hours.

“I can’t afford that” is a phrase that’s easy to fall back on. And if it’s true — if you really cannot afford Earnable, or if you have credit card debt — I respect that. It’s a substantial investment, and if it’s not right for you, you should not join.

And with all of the uncertainty around Coronavirus, if you don't have solid emergency savings (I recommend 12 months), do not join. Cut expenses and build your savings net. I explain how to handle your money during a crisis like this here.

But consider three things:

• I added a 12-month payment plan to make this program as affordable as possible
• Don’t just focus on COST, focus on VALUE. What if you could make $50,000? $100,000? More? (In fact, I have a calculator showing you exactly how much you could make.) 
• The cost of missing out. Notice how the last time you invested in something, you took it seriously and followed through. What about the last time you didn’t invest? Did you do anything with it?

Your financial situation matters. But it’s too easy to fall back on “I can’t afford it.” 

Instead of saying, “I can’t afford this,” if you genuinely want to start an online business, reframe it as, “How can I afford this?” Instead of spending money on “wants,” what if you decided to invest in yourself to build an asset that will grow over time? 

“In 9 months, since starting my business, I've made over $35,000 while working from home and/or traveling the world. I work under my own hours and choose the clients I want to work with. I am not afraid where the money will come from. I can work from anywhere, and money keeps coming in. I am my own boss, I don't answer to anyone but myself and I work under my own terms.”

“I've officially made as much in the last month as I did in the last year. Just this past month my revenue was $29,000. Best of all, what’s enriched my life is seeing the impact my work has had on real people.”

I discovered this phenomenon years ago, when at the end of a webinar, people would ask 15 questions, all increasingly obscure: “Does your course work for people who live in Europe, but only have three hours free on Tuesday afternoons, but not on the Sabbath, and also not on the 4th of July because I like taking my cats for a walk?”

“Um, no,” I would say, “my course probably can’t help you.”

“SEE!” they would say. “I KNEW IT. I KNEW THIS COURSE WOULDN’T WORK FOR ME.”

They were hunting for an alibi to use to not take action. And once they found an obscure reason not to join, suddenly they felt liberated to justify their inaction.

This is Special Snowflake Syndrome in its most devastating form: It lets us remain stagnant, then rewards us for staying stagnant because, of course, nothing can help us and our special situation.

Top Performers take a totally different approach: They say, “Look, I know that no course can be 100% perfect for me. But if I trust this material works and I believe in myself, I’ll make it work no matter what.”

The successful Earnable students do exactly the same thing. They start, they make mistakes, but they still grow their online businesses.

If you’re curious, check out some of their stories here.

Right now, students in Earnable have ALREADY shared hundreds of comments. They're already learning and growing.

Imagine, eight weeks from now, where you will be … vs. the people who took action.

There are things in life where you’re never really “ready.” You’ll never be truly ready to have a child. You’ll never be ready to get married. 

But you still do it.

You don’t have to be ready. You don't have to be perfect. You don't even have to be sure.

But you do have to take the leap of faith in yourself.

Join Earnable now.

P.S. It’s normal to feel doubt — I felt it myself when I started. That’s why I include a 100%, 60-day, money-back guarantee. Try the ENTIRE program, following my specific action steps, then decide if it’s right for you.
