Luffy,

Move your lazy a$$ and do sth that is meaningful and useful for others,

Stop f*cking around binary options and other shit,

Stop it before you lose even more.

Every time I see your post it is about the same shit.

Seriously, pick a niche, pick up the phone. It's not easy, trust me I've been cold calling like crazy, but it gets you much closer to helping other people with their problems than this thread ever will.

Again, he knows everything.

We're beating a dead horse here people.

Good luck Luffy. But I know you think you don't need it.
Sorry man, I'll dumb myself down from now, perhaps you'll relate to me more.

I wouldn't get salty about losing that much money. It could be lots worse. Imagine if you invested years and tens of thousands of dollars into a failing idea.
Yeah good thing it happened quickly so I could move on from it sooner, it was a good experience.
Luffy,

Move your lazy a$$ and do sth that is meaningful and useful for others,

Stop f*cking around binary options and other shit,

Stop it before you lose even more.

Every time I see your post it is about the same shit.
I have quit already and moving on.

Just purchase something that people buy and sell it for more.

There's some really great advice on this thread.
I've failed because I was chasing the money, you need to offer value, money will come.

Look in the mirror and you'll see your biggest challenge.

If you want a step by step guide then join the INSIDERS and read the gold threads in the INSIDERS's forum.

Or you can ignore everyone and keep imagining you're a millionaire until it happens. Isn't that how those self help gurus describe it? Imagine a better life, and it will come to you...something like that. I usually stop listening a half second in.

I don't see "what you love" having any bearing. Find a void in the market. Fill it. If the market wants a new design of a flyswatter, you don't have to love pest extermination to fill the void and help people. In fact, I propose the opposite. In the physical products arena, be product agnostic. Never fall in love with what you sell. Why? You are not emotionally invested in the transaction itself. Sell because it solves a need, not because you "love" the merchandise. Loving merchandise is borderline creepy, and makes you irrationally attached to commodity. I don't see emotions playing ANY role in what it takes to create a successful business. Passion about process? Yes. Passion about customers? Yes. Passion about value? Yes. Doing what you love? Zero requirement. Love is a weird rule to use, as it conveys an emotion rarely attached to business outcomes.

Nay, but being in the circle of need is definitely what makes anything possible.

You don't have to be passionate about it to succeed. But you sure won't succeed if you hate what you're doing.

The big problem with the "do what you love" crap is that what most of us love to do isn't something we can get paid for. Also, you might find that once you "have" to do it to get paid (and do it to a certain level of quality), you don't love it anymore.

Cheers,
O-2

On the other hand, many great writers, inventors love/d what what they're doing.
