How come 90%+ of people just read and plan, but never actually 'do'?

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

People in general are mostly concerned by nature about gratification in the present. It doesn't necessarily feel best right now to workout for months to reap the rewards way down the line, etc...
 


You can always tell the people that do something compared to the people that don't for instance a person that does something may decide to help out by sharing there knowledge (Like on a forum) where sometimes the people not doing anything or have never done anything sit around and say its impossible or call the rest of the people lier's hahaha.

But I know how it is in the whole doing and not doing I used to be a big not do'er until well I started doing.
 
I don't think you really have to do much anymore except think of ideas, with all the outsourcing and what-not. Most of the time people don't think about what they have now, or what they have access to and take it for granted and then when it's gone they realize what they could've accomplished. For example when WF was down the other day how many people thought for a second how it could've effected them if this board wasn't around?

If you don't want to do anything, then don't, pay somebody else to do it, find ways to automate your projects, etc.. Outsourcing is damn cheap, you can get your web/blog templates created, you can get quality keyword rich articles written, SEO, scripts written to help automate, you literally don't have to do anything except make some small investments and a little bit of work like pinging your site or copy/pasting your professional written articles to your blog.

This post made me think about the fact that there are really like 3 classes of online marketing. There are those folks in the big companies (with 401k's and water cooler chat and comfortable desks and bosses and stuff), then there are the affiliate marketers building useful websites. But then there's the third class: the fucking web-trolls. Yeah, some of you black hatters are in the same club, but it's also the ebook dolts, and the fucking herbal supplement crowd and the get your dick hard pill club, and all the other garbage that just fills up the web with vapid useless bullshit.

Anyways... /rant.

Just ... if you're DOING something, make sure you keep some business principles in mind. Things like: Am I providing a product or service that people actually want or need?

Okay... now /rant. ;)
