What's going on guys, my name is Marissa and in today's video we're gonna break
down why you're still not making $100 from home with your online
business or an online job because I guarantee 90% of the people that are
watching this video are in this exact situation. Now I have personally posted
about six, woosh, look it'll appear, all these videos about working from home
and making money online and how to make $100 per day and, oh my gosh, I could talk
about how to do this all day long and post way more of these videos
on my channel. But today I want to break down the reasons why if you're still not
making $100 a day from home, from your online business, we're gonna talk about
the four factors and I guarantee the problem falls into one of these four
factors. My goal for you by the end of this video is to evaluate which category
you're in and to take action to solve the problem because I want everybody on
my channel to succeed. I want everybody to have abundance and to create the life
of their dreams, that's why I'm here, that's why I create this content. And so
this video is to help diagnose the real problem because everybody everybody is
capable of making $100 per day from home and having the dream life that they want
but it's more than likely that you have fallen into one of these categories, so
let's talk about it. So reason number one why you're probably not making $100 per
day from home yet is because you don't have a life-threatening situation or a
situation that is so uncomfortable that it makes you move, it lights that ass on
fire, and makes you just figure it out until you have no other choice and this
was my situation a couple of times actually, well, really the first time when
I left my nine-to-five when I was a civil engineer, I'd go into the
office every day go to work and then it was a vacation with my family that
actually changed my entire life because it was that vacation where I realized I
wanted to be an entrepreneur. The point is when I started to dip into this
entrepreneurial land I had this pain because I was like "I have to get out of
this job, I'm miserable and I realized that there was a whole nother
way, right?" And a lot of you can relate and so it's funny because my
first business model was actually network marketing. Your girl was gonna
build an Amway business, okay? And that was crazy of me to think! But I love the
fact that getting into network marketing, it was crazy because the guy
that I was in the sponsor with, I never ended up doing the Amway business because I
figured out affiliate marketing, but what I loved about Amway was their
people are so dedicated and were just "I don't give a damn I am
going to figure out this business, I'm gonna build this business, get my team
members" and the other thing that I love is that they made us read a lot of
personal development videos which was awesome because it helped my personal
development so much and made me that much more gung-ho of there's no turning
back I'm gonna figure out how to build a business and there was no turning back
for me at that point. Fast forward about a year and a half, or maybe a year,
a little over a year into my journey I hit rock bottom financially
I mean I was tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt and I had
student loan debt and I knew what it would felt like to hit rock bottom. I
mean this was my life threatening situation it was either figure
out my online business and start producing income like now, like yesterday, or I'd
have to find some job and go back and live with my parents, that was the
reality I was facing. And so and that was when I was transitioning from
quitting ecommerce, I was doing Shopify and drop shipping and trying to figure
out what I was going to do next and so that is what lit my ass on fire. I was
working 16-hour days, I put in those hours and I made sure I figured
it out and that's actually how my youtube career started but that's the
thing, it's like I know so many people who are comfortable, they have
six-figure jobs or they're just cruising through life and they don't have
anything that's pushing them, something that's making them suffer and that's not
forcing them to go into entrepreneurship and so if they did if for some reason,
like they knew they were gonna lose
their job or some other life external issue that was really
extreme. Some of the richest billionaire entrepreneurs multi millionaires, a lot
of them started out homeless, I mean homeless or in some upbringing
where they grew up very poor and their circumstances in their environment was
just extreme for them and everything was pointing to them to not succeed and so
when you have that element of suffering or a life-threatening situation it
always forces you to go and get laser focus. And I'm actually grateful that I
hit rock bottom because I'm not sure I would have produced the results and the
life that I have now and be able to travel and be a digital nomad and run my
online business from wherever I want so I'm grateful for hitting rock bottom. And
so if you're maybe falling into this category where you have a comfortable
job and you can have that job for the rest of your life and be fine,
you might need to put an element into your life where you give yourself a due
date of I'm quitting this job on this date, and that's that and type
of that resignation letter and do it because there's a friend of mine who
is going to crush it whenever she starts her online business, but I'm like "hey so
why haven't you started? Why haven't you started?" so she said
"I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared," and she's making comfortably
over six figures at her job and I'm just like "Huh, okay well let me know when
you do!" Alright so the next topic or factor we're talking about here today
it's falling victim to popular belief. What do I mean by this? So let me give
you an example right off the bat, lots of people may tell you or
it goes around in the online space that you need a huge audience and
email subscribers to start making money in your business. False, false, false. No one, absolutely no one
is born with the email list. People tell me this and I get so angry when
they say "Marissa, oh well you have an audience, oh well you already have 90,000
subscribers." I'm like "Uh hello, did these 90 thousand subscribers just pop
up out of nowhere with no work? Hell no!" I've made
hundreds, probably over 300 videos, and so let me repeat this again. You are not
born with an email list, you are not born with 90,000 subscribers, you are not born
with 90,000 followers on Instagram. It takes work, it takes being able to do it
by yourself and you don't need hand-holding to figure it out.
As I mentioned my story in the last factor, I was desperate to make
something happen and I was willing to do whatever it took. I didn't care if people
were ahead of me, well okay I did, but I didn't care like, I was like "Oh man
she's got a lot of followers." Okay, well I'm just gonna start my journey and have
faith and know that it's gonna work out for me. You know that YouTube is going to
help your business grow and scale like crazy but why don't people start? "Oh, I
don't have a fancy camera like you Marissa, oh I don't have a 4k setup, I don't
have lights, oh I'm not confident in front of the camera," and I'm
like "Oh my gosh here we go again," Okay, again no one's just born a
youtuber and naturally good at being a youtuber and talking in front of the
camera, trust me, when I got in front of the camera I was not confident I
stuttered, I had moments of pauses for like 20 seconds, I
started with a pixelated camera, it was dark, I didn't use lighting, I used my
phone like this thing you see right here, and I use the webcam on my laptop,
it was an older model of Mac. I didn't care! I just started, right? Because
the other day when I was on YouTube I was googling something, I forgot what the
topic was, but I found a video that was like three and a half years old and I'm
like "Yeah, this is the only video on the topic" and I'm like "This is an awesome
video," it was an 18 minute video, the quality was maybe a camera, an iPhone at
best, but it was really dark, the quality wasn't good and I'm like "This was
amazing! This was just the information I was needing," and so that woman got my
subscribe, she got my like, and I opened up, and I downloaded, her
magnet and her freebie. I'm like "This is awesome," and so that's the point. It
doesn't matter where you start, what matters is how you deliver and how you
are confident and how you bring it and that's just not pertaining to YouTube,
that's talking about just getting started. Maybe it's on Instagram,
maybe you're starting your Facebook group, that's what going live in your
Facebook group, like just do the damn thing! Just go for it! Getting back
into factor number two, falling victim to popular belief, the other belief is like
"Oh, I'm starting to late, the market is already saturated, my niche on YouTube or
wherever is too saturated, there's already too many influencers," and so if
we all thought like that no one in business would ever succeed, never ever
again. There are people that are going to start
businesses, online businesses, in ten years from now, the people, the children I
guess I should say, that are ten years old, however many, when they grow up
and become adults they're gonna want to start online businesses and I guarantee
you they'll be able to build a million-dollar business in the fitness
niche, nutrition, health, wealth, the same niche that I am. It doesn't exist that a
niche is too saturated or there's too much competition, it does not happen. So
it's like remove that myth from your head because there's room for everybody
at the top to eat and to make money and to build their own loyal fans and
audiences and to sell their offers and make money online. By the way, I know this

so go ahead and smash that subscribe button. And by the way, if you are
interested in how I built my profitable business on YouTube starting from zero,
nothing, from scratch, nada, go ahead and download my subscribers to
sales blueprint, it'll be the first link in the description below and it is a
super great resource to check out and to have handy
as you build your presence on YouTube. The third factor of why you're not
making $100 from home with your online business is because you're not treating
making money online as a real business. What do I mean by this? Well, I admire
those people like rappers, musicians, people who open up coffee shops and new
restaurants because it's their dream, it's their goal, it's a fire that they
have behind what they're doing, a passion, whatever they're going towards,
whatever they're pursuing, it's going to work. It's do-or-die, this is going to be
it. And so when, for example, somebody opens up a coffee shop or a
brick-and-mortar business, they spend tens of thousands of dollars on doing it.
I mean they have to rent the space, hire employees, buy the furniture, buy the
equipment, decorations, there's so many things to opening up a brick-and-mortar
business and so when they do that they have they have to do it. They have
to do it, they have to keep building their business or else they would have lost
$100,000, maybe I don't know. It's do or die and that's the thing is you're not
treating making money online as a business, as something that has to work.
And nowadays there's so many resources out there for it to work and
so my greatest pet peeve is when people DM me on Instagram, for example, and they
say "Hey Marissa, I'm dead broke, don't know where to start, but I need to make
money today." And I literally get this message probably about once a day, I
see it pop up and I see the message coming through and I
automatically delete it, why? Because it frustrates me because that signifies to
me that they're not willing to put in any work and they want a band-aid fix
and it's kind of offensive because it means that they don't respect online
business. You have to treat your online business as a real business, like if you had a
coffee shop business and if you're investing your life, your soul, your money,
into this business and so it's just not fair when people expect that money
will just come from no work or from making millions of dollars taking online
surveys, it's just not real. I mean a subfactor of all of this is
shifting your mindset to accept the fact that you need a mentor or something to
help you along your way, to help fast-track
you to where you want to be because I guarantee those people who are starting
restaurants and coffee shops and more physical businesses, they
probably hired somebody ahead of them to help them on their journey.
Entrepreneurship is a team business, you help each other out, you help people
get to the top so if investing in a course, a training, a mentor, a business
coach is something you know you need to do but you're not willing to do it
because you don't have money or whatever, that's lack mindset and you
have to shift your mindset to know that it is okay to invest in the business
you're gonna need to invest in your online business, period. I've invested
several thousands of dollars into trainings mentors coaches and it's
helped me tremendously get ahead. Alright, so the fourth factor of why you're
probably not making $100 from home yet with your online business is because you
have the shiny object syndrome and you know what? I'll admit I'm telling all of
you guys this because I've had all of these things, right? I've experienced a
whole lot in these last three years and yeah, I definitely had shiny object
syndrome. I remember when I had my ecom store with Shopify, that's
when Bitcoin and crypto currencies and all these new crypto
coins were coming out, everyone was like "Oh my gosh! Just put your money
here and hold all this and let it-" and I'm just like "Oh yeah, let me just buy a
bunch of Bitcoin" and yeah, that could have been a smart move if I would have
done my research and become an expert on crypto currencies, but I did not. I mean,
any investment that you make it is very, very, very, very, very important that you
know everything about that like real estate, gold, whatever you're investing
into, stocks, you need to become really educated on that topic but that's beside
the point. The point is I had my mind
and my focus everywhere and so nothing was growing exponentially.
I had my Shopify store, I was into Bitcoin, I was getting into some online
business opportunities with affiliate marketing, my focus was
scattered and my results definitely showed it. And so not to say that you can't try out
different things in the beginning, there's a difference and that's the
great thing about online business, is you can try out creating digital
products, you can try out coaching and group coaching, and all different types of
business models online, you could even do trading and ecommerce until you find out
what it is, but you have to try one thing at a time. The same thing when you're
building traffic, you can't go on Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook, and all
these other social media platforms, tick tock, and expect to grow
significantly on all four or five, you have to pick one, dominate it, and then
move on to another one. Think about what it is you've tried and
if you've done this before, maybe you've gotten your feet wet in different
business models, this is something I'm telling you right now:
focus is so, so, so, important and so stepping far away from the shiny object
syndrome is going to be a key to your growth. Alright guys, I know if you are
