Imagine the room you're sitting in is painted pure
white from top to bottom, floors and all. Now take a thin nib pen, and
draw a small black dot on your wall. This is you. Now take a red pen
and place a small dot above yourself for each one of your friends, then
a blue pen for each one of your friends, friends.
Imagine this process repeating itself again and again, until your wall is
full. See all those dots? Each one is an opportunity, each one a different
person from a different walk of life that you have a chance to meet,
learn from and become mutual successes. Whether they just give you a
new perspective on things, or whether they give you a small helpful tip,
or become your long term business partner, whatever it is, it's there, it's
closer than you think and it's waiting for someone to pick up and take it
to the next level, and at the same time become a success. If that's not
you, it'll be someone else.
Yours for the Taking
To each one of these people you have something to offer, as they no
doubt have something to offer to you. Don't get me wrong, I'm not
suggesting that you should go out and make friends with the whole of
the world's population, but I really want to make it clear how these
opportunities are there, and they're ready for you to take them in
whatever form you wish.
This is the most important thing that I believe I can show you. If you see
something you like, don't sit back and say Ah that's pretty cool, jump up
and grab it with both hands. It's yours to take right now. Don't hesitate.
Proof This Works
One of the Examples Out of the Pile One more small analogy and I'll tell you a little story about how this very site came to be, and most likely many other sites and businesses before and after it. Imagine you're walking down an isle in a crowded shopping mall. Who was that person you just brushed arms with? Was it the guy that's going to tell his friends about your business and what you do, leading to five new customers? Is this the woman that's going to give you a free beauty consultation in the future? Is it the guy that's going to tell his friend about your business, and hook you up with a massive marketing campaign to their list? Stop Doing It on Your Own
For Immediate Results.
The potential here is totally massive. Hold up though, there's something
very important that you should know about this connection making
process, and that's that it's give and take. In a business sense, it's likely
you'll be giving them something and they'll be giving you something
valuable in return.
This type of business has been around for so long now. All we're
looking at is trades that are mutually beneficial to each party. One thing
I would like to say before we go any further here, is that I'm talking in a
purely business sense. I don't seriously look at everyone I meet as a
new money making machine, and I don't advise anyone do that either.
All I'm suggesting here, with these rather black and white examples, is
that the opportunity is out there if you're willing to take it and the results
can be huge.
We'll be talking a little later about how to make contacts, and actual
methods of doing so, simply because I believe that it's the path to total
success in whatever you're trying to do. Even if it seems like you're
getting a pay cut of sorts in the short term. Stop trying to do things on
your own, and you'll see the results of a team effort, in long, medium
and short term in terms of both profit and in terms of the advantages
and new opportunity branches that you open up.
Ok, time for a real world example for you, and keep in mind this may
well happen to you, whether it's a similar situation or under totally
different circumstances. How did this very product come to exist? It all
started a while back in the year 2000 when I joined a membership
website by two big name marketers.
