This Simple Mind Shift Izz News

I have only been on this platform for a short while. Izz News, I have managed to read many articles.

I have noticed many articles written offering advice on how to earn from your writing.

Many times the advice seems very similar, at other times very different. However, the common thread throughout the articles is people are finding it difficult to earn through their writing.

We all need money, so this desire to earn doing something you love is no surprise.

Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the 'gotta have it' scale.

We all need money, and it would be great to be able to earn it while doing something you love, i.e. writing.

Perhaps I may be able to share some advice that may benefit those desiring to earn from their writing.

A few years ago, I was introduced to a book while I was attending a business seminar. This highly recommended book has surprisingly thin considering the weighty recommendation. As I love to learn and am rather ambitious, I bought the book and was very impressed by the principle content.

The book I am referring to is "Go for No" by Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz.

While reading this book, I was amazed at the straightforward concept, that made such a massive difference in my thinking and attitude. After reading this book, you will never look at the word 'No' the same way again.

If you have ever been in any sales type of job environment, you would know sales is a numbers game. The more people you approach, the more chance you have of getting a deal/sale and the more sales you get, the more money you are going to earn.

Now, please bear with me. As obvious as this may seem. Before getting your back up, this is not necessarily obvious to everyone.

Many times the most obvious solutions are staring you in the face. However, as you are so close, you are unable to see it.

One of my first sales jobs years ago was selling gym memberships for a nationwide group. I got taught the more people you approached, the more opportunities we had to get a sale.

Now, this was a commission-only sales position. So, I didn't earn a basic salary or retainer. If I didn't make any sales for the week or month, you didn't get paid for that week or month.

To work under those circumstances is tough. However the commission was good, and when you made the sales, you got paid well, which off-balanced the risk-reward.

The bottom line was to earn one needed to do the work.

A lot of focus put on the averages and sales is a numbers game.
