Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! BINGO!

Nice addition Sharessa.

It boils down to that illusion thing again in my opinion...for example...

When you start an offline business, you have "something" that physically represents your business...like a restaurant building or whatever...and that forces you to pay attention to that "thing" in order to run the business.

Most people don't like paying attention at that level, so they assume it's "too risky" to start a business like that (which is a bad assumption, but that's for another post another time).

Then comes the Internet...

The barrier to entry is so low online...someone can get started with almost nothing...and there are "quick" ways to make "fad cash" if someone is resourceful enough to find them.

Sure someone could make some money, but it won't last. Then, someone will get addicted to find all of these "little tricks" and that someone will end up chasing money all the time...instead of building a leveraged business that will end up providing more income, easier, once they have "paid their dues" by putting in the effort to build said business.
