Work Today - Paid Tomorrow

Work Today - Paid Tomorrow
By Don Terrill (c)2005

I've tried to motivate many of my friends and family members to start an online business - which usually includes the recommendation to write.

How often have I been successful in creating action? Zero!

What I've learned is, people want to work today and get paid today (work 2 weeks - get a paycheck). They "need" that instint gratification. No one wants to work today and get paid a year from now. It's crazy to even consider, right?

Not for me.

When you write a book, you don't have to write every single copy; you write it once and duplication does the rest - you do nothing.

My wife says most people don't want to think, they prefer someone else to plan their every move - turn their brains off from 9 to 5 and just do as they're told.

No thanks.

I used to look up to Doctors and Lawyers until I realized: If they don't work, they don't get paid. Me, I want to do something once and have it pay me forever.

And, I'm willing to wait.
