So let's talk about diligence. This is probably after hope one of the the biggest impact you're going to have on whether you succeed or not. Because diligence keeps going, when the rewards are distant. I've seen this time and time and time again. The people that succeed are very clear about what they're trying to achieve what they're trying to escape from, as we talked about in the previous video, and they're very clear about what they want to move to. But diligence is what keeps going.

Diligence is the activities that you keep doing, even when you don't feel like doing them. And diligence is the things going to keep you Going through those times when the income isn't coming in. And this is one of the things with online entrepreneurship, you are going to struggle at times the income might be low. And it might not be coming in the way you want it to. But the diligent online entrepreneur, we'll keep going, we'll keep working. And the reason it works is like this, it's compound interest.

Now with online business, what happens a lot of the time as long as you've got a good market, as long as you've got a product that people want, and that product is something that is genuine that it gives them value. Oftentimes, the biggest problem is getting the ball rolling. So don't wait to understand it's like this. You start out and you've got you're at the top of a hill and you've got a little snowball, it's tiny. And if you've ever built a snowman, you'll know how this works. And as you push that down the hill, that snowball is going to grow and get bigger and bigger and you keep pushing, and you keep building.

And at some point it becomes hard, quite hard to push. And then what's going to happen eventually, is all of a sudden, under its own weight. That snowball will start rolling down the hill on its own. And the diligent part is all the way up to that point where it starts rolling by itself, knees still need to guide it, you don't let it run off. crazies don't gonna need to guide as it rolls down the hill. But that's where we need to be diligent, we have to keep pushing.

So that means you've got to do your marketing every week. You've got to keep creating your content. You've got to keep building you've got to keep growing. You got to keep trying. And it's the diligent that will win. It's the hare and the tortoise.

The hare runs from While falls asleep, the tortoise plods along keeps plotting any wins the race. And this is one of the biggest secrets to success with online residual income generation is not the one who creates the courses the fastest if you're creating digital courses or creates an E book fast, is not even the person that goes out and buys all the stock and puts it on Amazon. It's the person that keeps plodding along, keeps diligent, keep pushing the snowball. That's the thing you need to understand. build any online business the first 12 to 18 months are going to be really, really tough. And that's why you might want to consider maybe doing some freelance work, or some part time work where you're in control of your hours, because the income is often lower at that point.

You have to keep pushing, you have to keep trying different things, you have to keep changing, because you might have an idea. And it doesn't seem like the ideas working.

Let me give you an example. Recently, I had some courses I created, and I shared on a certain platform, and then I kept creating new courses. And these old courses didn't do very well at all. And I just assumed the courses weren't very good. It didn't work. So what I then did, I took that course eventually.

And I just put it on another platform. And on that platform, those two those courses that I had out of 16 started out selling every other course they've been really successful on the other platform and to my Least performing courses became my best performing.
