…
OK Guys! You know I have been real lazy. I don’t even know who I am writing this to as there are not very many people who read my blog regularly. But I still write this post just to let you know (cuz if you are reading it, then at least some one is reading it.. and that makes me feel really good.) that I have been lazy like the Greek Gods when it comes to blogging and social networking and you know what– It cost me business! It cost me an insane amount of credibility I could have had, Had I been blogging for a year continuously. Seriously- a 20 year old lazy fart– Simply unacceptable.
Part of my laziness can be attributed to the dream I am support- almost promoting. The dream is called lazy money. And sadly or merrily, I do definitely believe in the thing. Just don’t know why- But I feel if I can be lazy and make money,m what’s the point in being active. Well here are the results-
As you can see, I’ve become largely overweight. I find it too much of a hassle to put on a shirt and work. All I am wearing is a set of Pajamas. Torn sideways as I carelessly walked alongside a nail that stick out. I am pretty hairy, but it gets too bad when I don’t shave for a week. And you know what? I haven’t combed my hair in what seems to be an eternity. The only physical activity was a walk to the shower, and a lazy lumpiness in the pool.
I made good money today! More than my girlfriend would believe anyway- so I will not even dare to tell her. She might leave me for someone more “honest”. And if that’s your idea of a dream IM lifestyle, too bad! I am tired of pretending to be tired when I am not.
I always thought the idea of being lazy, and not doing anything to make money was cool. Which I still do– I make money without working a lot, but what’s the point?
I am a literal mess at the moment. I have at least 200 ideas jotted down on paper that I could turn into cash instantly, and I have had over 190 of them for a year now. Maybe some of them are no longer sound thanks to the pace of things on the Internet. But I can safely say that some of these would have required a bit of my time and energy in their implementation which is what scared me to no end.
But the big question is – WHY?
As a kid and a young adolescent, I have always been a pretty active and sort of workaholica-nerdy chap. And I liked myself that way! I spent m,ost of my time hogging the limelight somewhere, but now the only light that falls onto my face is that that comes from my computer screen. There was a point of time when all my teachers and coaches said that I bring along a stream of energy with me- focused as a beam that would make me very successful. And now, as of today, my present coach is tired of giving me new things to work upon and I am not working those methods? You know, one of those methods that I should have been working on right now is sitting on the sidelines while I play a quick round of GTA.
I don’t take drugs, nor do I drink… I don’t even smoke, but I am in danger!
I am in danger of losing the very aspects of my persona that made me a real enticing person who could influence quite a few people and make them take action almost scarily immediately. People told me I had a way to charm others into “doing” things. Which is what got me so far in my life and so close to unleashing my true potential.
But… and this one’s a big, saggy, flabby BUTT that sways left and right.
I AM LOSING MY MIDAS TOUCH.
As my income increases, and I continue to build on assets, I feel like I am missing a part of myself… But I still fail to realize what it could be.
As I build strategy for businesses- my own and my clients’, I feel I have left something behind… something whose absence is dreadful to put it mildly, but I can’t pin point what it is!
And that is what I need your help with– (I am fully aware that this blog is not getting a lot of attention these days, and I will definitely do something to get some traffic going here… Not a big deal, right?), but I need you to help me pin point what that missing element of my personality is.
And more importantly- how can I re-gain it?
Post your answers below- in the form of comments. I might not be able to reply to each one of them, but I will certainly read them all.
I know, I know- you probably don’t have the time to type out a few lines for a lazy old overweight kid back home in India, so here’s the deal… and this one’s real exciting… Sit tight…
I have been accused in the past, more so in the very recent past- of not being able to produce and sell a product outside of internet marketing arena. And you know what- it blows. Real Hard. Especially when it comes from people who are neither your customers, nor your friends or acquaintances. They claim to know better about me, and I think its high time to put an end to the rumor mills. Behl ain’t taking it not-so-seriously, girlies!
So I decided to put an end to these mysteries surrounding myself and create a little plugin for Wordpress that really helps people with their business. Regardless of what you do online, if you have a business of any sort, this little plugin will help you. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE WORDPRESS AT THE MOMENT.
I will talk more about this plugin in my next post, but what it really does is this- It turns any regular wordpress blog into a Perpetual Launch Machine that only spirals up your credibility. Right now we are in the Beta mode and I will be releasing it to the members of my premium Ultra Achiever memberships only. No outsiders at all. At any retail price. Not even $197. So no offers to buy this one please! Of course you can join Ultra Achiever membership when we are ready to open doors in July. But I’ll be accepting only 100 members so if you are not one of my subscribers, make sure you do sign up at http://www.listemi.com/youtube/
What I plan to do is- throw in 2 copies of this plugin for people who make comments below and tell me what is it that I am missing and how exactly can I go about getting it.
Now, please be specific. I know there’s just one way to deal with laziness and that is to take action. But do keep in mind that I am already taking massive action at some level. Every few days we are coming out with new products, and new services. And we have a lot of people working with us, so that we are working. And cruising with a great momentum as well. But what I am looking for is something related to my own life that I could reclaim. And please, fell free to list any resources below, even if that means a link to your websites.
If I find one of your replies to be perfect for my case, I will send a copy of my Perpetual launch Plugin your way along with the tutorial videos only my members get access to.
So, thanks for taking the time…

In fact I can’t… Here’s why… Read more from this author
Don’t know if lot of people read this post al the way trough Lakshay, but hey I did.
Being lazy or acting lazy has to do whit men’s purpose in life I think. You need to have goals one of your goals was to have lots of money. You say you realized that goal in your post. So maybe it does not satisfy you anymore or not enough to have a money goal. This is very normal I think.
You know I do want to have a lot of money to but not for the wealth it gives me and I am not their yet long way from it. But I want this money to be able to get to my goal in life. I have a bigger goal I one day want to go to your country and some others also to provide for the needy, setting up orphanages and education programs. I could never get lazy for that goal.
So if you need motivation to get less lazy get a higher goal and at something good to society. It will fuel you up and gets you back to work in a more motivating and dynamic way.
I hope I’ve been of some help.
Best regards,

hi. My name is Murali sankar.s . I live in chennai. i just got started in internet marketing and am finding it really difficult. i did not take up a job and am doing this full time so i am kinda desperate. could you please guide me with this. i would really appreciate that.
Hi Lakshay
My name is Todd Sponsler and I just read this post and thought how can this be true. Heres a guy that has taken massive action who is looking for help in finding out why he’s being lazy.After reading all that you are doing I don’t believe your lazy. I think that you have become complacent and need to find a cause or purpose. I read your post on the WF and put a response to it saying why not out source and keep the site hands free.
Now after reading your blog and looking around at what you’ve accomplished in your IM career. I feel foolish even making that post.
So back to your dilemma.
I think what you need to do is go back to where you started and redefine the goals you set for yourself. As with anything in life you need to find something that you can be passionate about.
It seems that your goal of making money has been realized so now you need to redefine that goal and now focus on what you can do with that money to help others reach there goal. I think it was Zig Zigler who said “you can have everything you want in life if you help others get what they want”!!!
So if you want to find out why your being lazy get out and help others get what they want.
I will help you in anyway I can!
You can reach me on Skype=toddsponsler or at toddsponsler@gmail.com
Hope this helped!
Todd
