Do You Have What it Takes?

Today I have a very simple question for everybody reading this blog post. The question is, do you really have what it takes to make an income online selling beats? The fact is you’re not going to have an easy time making a living off of music.

It’s not for everybody because the fact is most people don’t put their money and their hard work where there mouth is. Anybody can say they’re going to make it and that running a business is their dream, but very few are going to actually succeed with making a full time supplemental income.

The question I like to ask people is this: if you were out in the wilderness and you got your leg caught in a bear trap, are you the type of person who would die where they were? Or if you knew that rescue wasn’t coming and nobody was hearing your cries, would you instead chew through your leg or break it off using a nearby rock than letting yourself secede to your untimely death?

If you answered, “I’ll do whatever it takes to survive, and in that situation I would definitely try smashing the trap, crying for help and eventually, chewing through my leg if necessary,” then congratulations! You’ve got what it takes to actually take a business to the top!

Now this is sort of talking in metaphor. Maybe it’s a joke but I’m only half kidding. The fact is you need to be willing to actually put tooth to nail and build up a legitimate business which is not easy.

While people look at me on my computer, working just three to five hours a day to achieve success in my business, sometimes they get the wrong impression. Running a business is not easy, and it takes serious time to get it to a point of automation that requires as few hours per day as I put in.

There are two reasons why I am able to automate my business to such an extent currently. Firstly, I worked literally ten hours a day for about half a year straight before even getting paid a dollar. That was unpaid work that is NOW paying off in the form of automated business.

My time went into building relationships, creating plans, researching like crazy, building up income by selling my beats for super cheap to anyone who would buy them back when making money was incredibly difficult for me with my limited resources and power, and more.

Preparing my Soundclick with the right graphics, having a layout professionally made, creating my websites, building my mailing list and more. I was a man with a sophisticated and well researched plan. When I began investing into advertising I was immediately profiting. There was no question as to whether my plans were going to succeed because I was fully prepared.

Now to put it in perspective, when I came up using SEO methods, I wrote roughly 300 articles by hand. So literally each of those articles was about 500 words. These are the types of vigorous tasks you have to be willing to undertake as a business person.

So now this is a question I ask you… Do you have what it takes?
