It is the common view that you cannot be doing anything worth on eBay or business generally if you are actually having fun. If it is fun it is not really work, and if it is not work you cannot really be earning a living can you?
So many people are filled with in built sceptisism when they are told you can enjoy making money. People are programmed naturally to expect making money to be hard and definately not about having any kind of fun.
But if you look at the most successful people who make money on the internet they all do it and have a lot of fun in to the bargain.
When talking to successful internet enterpreneurs it's clear they can't understand why people have such a hang up with having fun and choose instead to build a proper bricks and mortar business or a drudge job.
It's almost as if we are expected by society to work our butts off until we reach retirement and then retire. Most of us in almost poverty with barely a few dollars in our checking acccounts and our IRA's.
It seems that those who know how to play make more money than those who make a strict separation between what they do to earn a living and what they do to live it.
Take the idea of making good money on eBay.
The majority of people when faced with this prospect fall in to two camps: The first just believe that they could never run a business and the second group have similar thoughts believing they could not never succeed in such a competitive market as eBay. But sadly the final result is much the same both groups either fail (if they ever got started) in their endeavours.
The biggest challenge I find with coaching people is overcoming this mindset problem. Too many people think business has to be run to very strict rules and guidelines which removes the fun element of being in a virtual business.
To be raging success on eBay you need to be imaginative and think outside the box. Far to many people get hung up on the business stuff and forget that life can be fun also.
One top internet marketing expert says " People seem to set their sights too high and figure it all needs to be planned out before starting"
When I questioned other top players on eBay the one thing they all recognised as being a commmon trait amongst most newbies was they feel overwhelmed at the possibility of running a business potentially turning over millions of dollars.This means rather than looking forward to such opportunity the reaction is more one concern and worry.
It is for this reason so many people with the potential to run their own business never really get started. Whilst there is nothing wrong with dreaming of big business the secret is to start small and build gradually as you go.
So don't stress just get out there and start having some fun on eBay and who knows you might be suprised at how easy making money and having fun as well can be?
