Making a million dollars is not hard. I’ve done it over and over again. At the same time, most budding entrepreneurs I know (along with many “seasoned” veterans) are still concentrating their efforts – and an insane amount of time – on painfully slow business-building methods.
What you are doing now is likely painfully slow and potentially pointless. Here’s a list of all the superfluous activities that you need to stop doing, and the one big accomplishment that you must start working towards today.
1. Stop Trying to Build a Big YouTube Channel From Scratch
Despite what you might read from the latest “social media guru,” building an audience on Youtube is incredibly slow and time consuming. Worse, even if you are successful at this, your business is completely vulnerable to the whims and decisions of other people. YouTube can literally shut you down in a second and cripple your business for whatever reason they want, and they don’t even have to explain the reason why they have shut off your account.
I’ve never posted a video on YouTube in my life, and neither have most of the other millionaires that I know. I know one or two people who actually make good money from YouTube. Kudos to them, but they could have built their business much easier, and much faster, without putting all that time and money into video creation. And I hope your account doesn’t get banned tomorrow. But then again, YouTube tends to hate marketers. The bigger your channel gets, especially if you are a marketer, the more vulnerable you are.
In fact, if I were a betting man (and I am) I’d bet the likelihood that your channel getting banned goes up in direct correlation to your success on YouTube. Something to look forward to as a reward for all your hard work, that’s for sure! Why anyone would want to focus on YouTube as the primary way to build a business, I don’t know. It takes loads of time and often results in just a little traffic – most of which just leads to hateful comments from anonymous viewers. You’ll get bigger headaches than you will results. And any success you experience can all be taken away in an instant. No thanks.
