#1 Thing Keeping You From Making Money Online

The biggest hurdle that anyone has to face about making money online is overcoming the fear of the unknown. If you want to start a home business and make money online the first thing you have to do is to get past that lump in your throat and that pit in your stomach and do something.

There are so many books in the self help section of any bookstore you walk in. With so many resources it makes you wonder why there would be anyone left in this world who can not do what they set out to do.

You do your research and find out all you can about starting an online home business. You have found out so many things that you didn't know before about internet marketing and search engine optimization, your mind is brimming with ideas. And you just sit there. You ponder. You wonder. You plan. You goal set. You... Do you get the picture?

Every one of us has been there before, haven't we? It reminds me of my grandmom. She made the best biscuits in the universe! One morning we were all anxiously waiting for those delicious biscuits to come out of the oven to eat them hot with butter and jam. The smell alone was making us crazy with anticipation of the delights to come. Oh man, we were slobbering! When she pulled them out of the oven they were not the usual fluffy, light and golden buscuits we were used to seeing. They were flat and firm. Everybody asked, "Grandma, what happened to your biscuits?What she said is burned in my memory. Grandmom answered, "It looks like they squatted to rise and got cooked in the squat!"

How many of us do that with our plans, our lives, our dreams? We have our dreams, we make our plans and then what? And then...they get cooked in the squat! One day you come to the realization that they don't look anything like what we set out to do.

You can learn all there is to know about a particular subject. You can come up with all the plans for whatever it is that you want to accomplish. You can dream the most lofty of dreams and nothing, absolutely nothing will happen until you stand up out of your squat and do something about it. You don't even know if your plans are flawed if you don't put them into action.

Even if you have taken the first step and started an online home business, do you find yourself coming up with excuses for not doing the things that you know will drive your business forward another notch? Those excuses you hear is fear talking.

The thing is, doing all the dreaming and planning satisfies your longing to have something better than you have now. For many people that is really all they want, a good feeling. It gives people something to aim at even if they never end up taking a shot at it. They still have the feeling of hope if for no other reason than they are thinking about their dream. They still have the desire and the "plan."

Don't get cooked in the squat. You are able to accomplish your dream.

The solution is very simple. Stand up out of the squat...and Do Something!
