I’m Going to Get a Little Personal

…I’m going to show you behind the curtain of what’s been going on.

…Then hopefully I can impart some really good advice that’ll help you in your business or online venture, in a very real way. This email is about YOU, and your trust is the most important thing. I am just an average guy who decided he had had enough of following the “norm” and took the opportunity to pursue my dream of working when I want, how I want, where I want and without someone breathing down my neck.

I am NOT an internet “guru”, I never set myself up to being one, and neither do I want to be known as one. I am just, Andy Charalambous….the guy in your email inbox. I communicate through email with a growing awesome audience (which includes you)… and building and being part of this community is probably my single greatest blessing…

I don’t compromise on my integrity, take shortcuts and I’m committed to doing the right thing to get you results. I know anybody who reads this is a real person, working hard to create a better life for themselves… just like you.

Others; sadly… don’t give a crap about any of that. They only care about what YOU can give THEM. It’s the shocking truth behind the scenes of many of these ‘gurus’. They prey on people who are hopeful, good-natured and polite…. decent folk. Because decent folk expect others to be decent, and act accordingly.

I’m going to tell you what I think. I’m going to tell you how I would do things if I was new to all this “make money online” stuff and wanted a change in my life; for some security for once!

Please, Get Rich Slow (But Not Too Slow…)

To make my first $1 online, took me… many, many months. Months! To make $1…AND I had absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE or EXPERIENCE whatsoever. I didn’t even know how to use a computer correctly!

Here is the important part…I kept going. With all my attempts to make a living online…and failing…I kept going. With all those around me laughing and telling me I was a fool…I kept going. I can tell you no one is laughing at me now.

What I know now, would’ve had me in profit in a fraction of the time. But I had to put that time in, to learn to do what I can do now. You can’t rush it. But don’t drag your feet. Don’t expect to retire within 6 months. But don’t think it’s impossible to get a good income going within a few weeks, either. These days it’s a lot quicker and easier to make progress than it was when I started out.

Just don’t be lazy. It requires real work… and deep down we all know that, despite all the crazy claims. Make A Sacrifice… (there’s no other way).

Jordan B. Peterson talks often about “making a sacrifice”:-

The act of giving up one thing, to get something else. Sounds simple and obvious… but we live in a pampered and decadent society… we don’t have to make any sacrifices. We don’t have to compromise. We are taught we don’t have to give up doing the things we want, to have something else. We can have it all.

We live in an age of delivery drones and driverless cars. Most of us live in a way where, technically, we needn’t ever leave the house. This isn’t necessarily a good thing. Finding ways to make life and business easier is one thing… but to take away the need for effort altogether will end us… we need purpose and growth…

If you’re really serious about having a nice, passive, low-pressure, 6-figure business (that’s roughly the ‘stop point’ where money no longer increases happiness)… you have to make a sacrifice…because you only have 168 hours a week!

How many will you sacrifice to BUILD your business? Some will try to re-frame it as ‘investing’, but make no mistake, it’s a SACRIFICE! There’s no guarantee it will pay off. You might give up one hour before your tipping point (please don’t!). I nearly did…many, many times.

Be patient, be persistent, because with enough time and effort… you will get what you deserve. Maybe you have to work longer, or harder than the next person. Maybe it doesn’t go so easy for you.

Who cares?! Just keep going…KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

We really only have a handful of seasons left in our life… will you make this year count…or are you going to just fade out, never knowing what could have been?

Take some time out and just take this all in. It only affects you.

I hope that helped somewhat.

All my best,

Andy
