2. What’s your biggest area of weakness for earning your first $1,000 (and more)?
Lack of motivation. It’s easy to get going once I get a couple results, but every single excuse I tell myself just gets in the way of actual work. Plus, it’s a hell of a lot easier to give in and not do any work and complain.

3. How interested are you in the full Earn1k course? Please be specific.
I’m extremely interested, but the price tag is so hefty for me that I know it’ll bring my already dire financial situation even further to its knees. I recognize that it’s an investment in myself, but I’m torn – should I really be spending more money when I can hardly pay my current bills?

How practical it is and how many practical plans of action I’ve come up with just by answering some questions.

2. What’s your biggest area of weakness for earning your first $1,000 (and more)?

Knowledge of what likely clients really need and how they think about their problems.

3. How interested are you in the full Earn1k course? Please be specific.

Interested enough that I discussed it with my husband as a possibility. Given that it’s from an entity I know mostly by reputation and he knows not at all, that means I’m pretty interested.

I know its not a done deal yet but the reaction I got after my sad attempt of the “briefcase technique” was enough for me. I am definitely going to work on fine tuning this process!

Thanks Ramit!

2) Deciding what to do or focus on is my largest hurdle thus far. By asking people about my various ideas I can let the market choose what I offer them. I dog sit for one person now, perhaps I can expand that (I know you don’t like pets, Ramit, but for some people they replace children, which means people spend money on their care.). I also pick up an adjunct position every other semester or so, which might be expanded into tutoring during semesters I’m not teaching.

3) Very interested, but concerned about being able to make the live video events. I feel that your program surpasses some business classes, which I would otherwise take.

Cheers!

2. What’s your biggest area of weakness for earning your first $1,000 (and more)?
Self confidence. Breaking through the self- and family-imposed barriers (“Why are you doing this when you have a good job?”, “How will this utilize your engineering degree?”)

Show me the dotted line. Need to figure out how to sell to wife so she’ll agree. Maybe I should show her how this solves her needs/problems/fears/wants/desires

2. What’s your biggest area of weakness for earning your first $1,000 (and more)?
Time. Focus. I’ve learned a ton about the focus part in the free course, and am using the money I earn now to pay for more free time.

I am very interested in the program. But, and I know you will find this ironic, I don’t have the money and time to invest in the course right now.

I expected the course to be beneficial, but I was expecting the content to more along the lines of the iwillteachyou blog: straightforward and instructive with examples. I didn’t expect actual case studies with video or assignments, and these added to the course tremendously!

I didn’t expect to get SO MUCH valuable info from a sampler, and I’ve really enjoyed it so far! Just doing the exercises and answering questions has been phenomenal. I was answering the questions on how I’d spend $500, $1,000 and $5,000 (didn’t post, but did it for the intrinsic benefit), and my immediate response was “I actually have at least $1,000 I could spend in the next few months…why am I not already investing in these things?!”

2. What’s your biggest area of weakness for earning your first $1,000 (and more)?

Time. I work 40 hours per week, train in the gym 15+ hours, have a 90-minute roundtrip commute daily, and I’ve struggled to complete these assignments on the day given. I am willing to put in the time when I can put it in. I also think my lack of time will mean results will be slower since I’ll be working on the side business piecemeal…and I’ll need lots of patience with that pace in order not to give up too soon.

3. How interested are you in the full Earn1k course? Please be specific.

VERY INTERESTED! I hope I’m able to pay for it without having to dip into any savings…only because my savings is earmarked for my train-fulltime-in-2012 fund. However, I think the course will pay dividends, so I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen!

2. What’s your biggest area of weakness for earning your first $1,000 (and more)?
Actually getting THE idea that will bring me $1000 and more.

3. How interested are you in the full Earn1k course? Please be specific
I’m pretty interested but wondering how I would get out of it knowing I don’t have my million dollar idea yet.

2. What’s your biggest area of weakness for earning your first $1,000 (and more)?
I have absolutely NO idea what I would do. I haven’t had that “Aha!” moment, where a skill I have seems to fit with a present demand. I feel the need to do more research, introspection and generally immerse myself in figuring out what I could do that would work for me. (Reading case studies helps a LOT with this — seeing how other people figured it out.)

3. How interested are you in the full Earn1k course? Please be specific.
I’m very interested, but the timing just does not line up for me. Right now, I don’t have either the financial resources or the time to devote. I hope that this is something you’ll do more than once, Ramit, because I would absolutely love to go through it when I’ve got the time! (Time is more important than money.)

Also, I think that something like this would be even better for me after I finish the Personal MBA Business Crash Course. It’s the basics I need and I feel like with that under my belt, I’ll be a better student in other business-type courses.
