Why You Should Stop Asking People To Do Things For Free?

I am sorry if that might shock some of you, but I’d need to cross the T’s and dot the I’s as I believe the minority of people online are taking the knowledge shared by freelancers/influencers/experts/ online entrepreneurs for granted.

I really do not mind where you find the information that would help you reach the success you need in your life. The Internet is a goldmine of information and you are only a couple clicks away to find the answers to your problems.

I decided to create my blog to share my own personal experience because I believe this could help some of you who are motivated individuals and are aspiring for a better life.

But who say better life say investment and sacrifices.

Nothing and I repeat NOTHING comes for free in life!

I don’t mind sharing the dish I cooked but I do mind sharing my recipe for free.

If you are willing to make a change in your life, find a way to do it.

I come from a background where I learned how to do everything on my own without having a silver spoon feeding me. Something I find regrettable nowadays is that more and more people are looking for a quick fix!

How can I make money fast?

How can I increase my Instagram followers fast?

How can I take better photography fast?

And I find it really sad and insulting at the same time. Most successful online entrepreneurs have invested time, money and effort into crafting their brands and sharing their knowledge with the world. The success people see is just the tip of the Iceberg but nobody pays attention to the journey that made them who they are today.

Your journey and the way you live your life define who you are and who you are going to be.

If you are just looking for a quick fix, go on YouTube and binge watch all the videos available on the platform. If you do your research well you might find some hidden gems but otherwise, you will just be wasting your time! Trust me I have done it!
