As I prepare for a Client Session, I was thinking about the 95/5 rule of online marketing. As a marketer who funnels, filters, and surveys leads plus also Coaching others; these are my observations:
When in comes to prospects, 95% will say they want to make 4 figures a month but will invest ZERO to make that happen. Interesting? So is that perhaps a lack of understand general business/entrepreneurial principles? Or something else?
Of the 5% who do take “action”, 95% will do nothing to advance their business. So what does this say? Laziness? Lack of Focus? Need a Mentor to help then get started? Can’t follow directions/set up steps?
What say you on these matters? Please reply in the comments or get back to me personally. I am compiling this data for a future project which will help people have more success with their business and maybe move that 5% to 6, 7, 8, ……

I am probably on the basement floor. I will get better someday. Good job.
Well Rob, I might be Bias In saying this but that 95% wants to make 4 Figures but think they can do it with NO Investment. Why? Because that is what the 95% hear from other programs. Bank $2000 with NO Investment Ever! So of course if they can make Two Grand With $0, then why not earn $1200 for the same fee, $0. Plus they don’t want to spend the money because if it doesn’t work, they can Quit! No shirt off their back.
People have the shiny object syndrome. They have zero knowledge about business, how it works, and why investment is vital. Too many want free, with no work and receive cash for life.
GREAT points … I don’t think there is an answer to the why, though. People are people … some are designed to work for others, others are designed to work for themselves. People dream of the “other” life, however, as Janet Session mentioned above … sadly the information presented is very much full of lies … one CAN make money without investing, IF one has all the experience in the world and knows what do to .. in the end, you still invest money 😉 There is NO way around it.
FOLKS … it’s time to wake up … IF you feel YOU are someone who is ready to work for themselves, then make the commitment and find a mentor you trust who is doing what YOU want to do and do what they tell you to do!
It’s truth time 😉 Thanks Rob, for this great post
I have heard it as the 4%. Those that take action, followup and follow thru. Food for thought.
