List building is not just a matter of handing over some money to a person who then reaches out into the internet and whips a list up for you so you can sell to them and make heaps of money.
If it was that easy I would be rich now because I tried that and it does not work so well.
In fact, it is important to understand that buying your list or leads from other people generally does not work.
What is your inner critic really trying to teach you? Yes, most of the time, your inner critic offers up negative, fear-based comments. But, if you build a relationship with your inner critic – find out what it’s really trying to tell you, you can learn a lot from it.
The first thing to do is to identify when you’re inner critic is talking to you. And you know this, because your inner critic usually tells you things that reinforce your fears.
Do you know people who like to “shoot from the hip” or “live for the moment”? They take pride in their lack of goals and plans, almost wearing it as a badge of freedom. However, I suspect if you looked behind that badge, you would find a lack of focus and discipline and an inability to accomplish daily goals.
If that is how you run your life, that’s okay. But, if you have goals, dreams, or achievement in mind, the strategy of “shooting from the hip” is more likely to miss than hit. Additionally, vague and broad objectives such as “I want to make lots of money” or “I would like to be more disciplined spiritually” aren’t likely to get you where you want to go either.
