So many people go through the motions of trying to achieve
success. But just going through the motions doesn't work.
And while you may fool a few people for a little while,Success: Can't Achieve It By Yourself? Pay A Professional! Articles you
can't fool yourself. If you truly want to be successful and
can't achieve success by yourself, do the smart thing and
pay a professional to help you.

It's unbelievable how many people will spend money on the
most frivolous of things, but decide to close their wallet
on those things that can most help them further their career.

I really believe that's why so many people are enamored with
the search engines. Because of rampant hype, they mistakenly
see it as a way to promote their business to millions of
people, without having to spend any money--not realizing the
search engines just don't work for the vast majority of
businesses!

And I can't even count the number of e-mails I get every day
from people asking me for free advice. Do I give it to them?
Sometimes, I do. It really depends on how busy I am at that
particular moment and how they approach me.

There's an old saying, "it takes money to make money!" I
personally spend hundreds of dollars a year on business and
marketing books, magazines, e-books, etc. I consider the
money I spend a well-placed investment in myself.

Do I always get my money's worth from the books that I buy?
It depends on your point of view. I've been in marketing for
over two decades, so I've learned a lot over the years. And
most of the time, I usually only pick up one or two little
nuggets I can use, from the many books that I read.

However, those one or two little nuggets are usually solid
gold that invariably helps me earn thousands of dollars in
additional income.

That's why I don't look at how much I have to spend, I look
at what the end result will be. And quite frankly, if I have
to spend $500 on a book, if I feel that book can help me
significantly increase my income, I'll buy it. That's what
most successful people do. They don't just look at the
price. They look at the end result.

How about you? How much do you invest in yourself? If you
don't know anything about Internet marketing, how much are
you willing to spend to learn? If you don't know anything
about copywriting, how much are you willing to spend to
learn?

Granted, there are a ton of free resources and tutorials
available to you on the Internet. But quite frankly,
freebies can only take you so far. If you want to be
successful, you have to spend some money. There's just no
getting around that.

Perhaps you don't want to take the time to learn about
Internet marketing, but you want to profit from it. Fine.
Then pay a professional to do most or all of the work for
you. Perhaps you don't want to take the time required to
learn the finer points of copywriting. Fine. Pay a
professional to write your copy for you and reap the
benefits.

That's the way the world works. It's always been that way.
If my toilet breaks, I don't worry about trying to fix it
myself, I call a professional. If my car needs fixing, I
take it to a professional. If I need a haircut, I go to a
professional.

If you can't or don't want to do the job yourself, pay a
professional to do it for you. After all, the only thing
that really matters is the end result, right?
