Building a Business vs. Instant Gratification

As human beings, it is in our nature to search for instant gratification. Perhaps it is what we in the developed world have grown accustomed to, but it seems that offers are targeted to small business owners around every corner.

“Instantly build your business plan! Learn our secrets to success. Just pay me an extortionate amount of money, and I’ll send you all of the leads you could ever want”. Sure, it sounds good, and we would like for it to be true. But just like those diet ads that promise that you can eat like a horse and still lose weight without diet or exercise, these offers just don’t work.

There are no easy fixes when it comes to building a business. It takes an exorbitant amount of work.
