So, you've got a great Internet business idea. Yeah, I'm talking
to you. You know who you are. You have this great idea that
you love to brag about. You tell all of your friends how it's
going to make you a millionaire.
And to you, oh great generator of ideas, I say:
So what!
I know (literally) hundreds of people that come up with million
dollar ideas on a daily basis. I can count on my hands, however,
the number of those people that have actually achieved a
respectable level of success with those ideas.
What about you? Are you sitting there feeling good about
yourself with that great idea of yours or are you actually doing
something about it?
Now, before you answer that question, be honest with yourself
about what you want. Some people, it seems, are satisfied just
having people pat them on the back for having such a great idea.
What about you? Is the pat on the back enough? If so, stop
reading right now. I'm just going to waste your time if that is the
case.
However, if you're one of the elite few that genuinely has what
it takes to turn that idea into money, read on.
Point of No Return Starts Here
Still with me?
OK, then. Let's get started.
1. Pick one idea.
Decide right now that you want to turn this idea into money and
try not to get bogged down in other ideas.
You're going to come up with hundreds of other ideas before
you see this one to completion. Resist the temptation to treat all
of them equally. You will be tempted to pursue every single idea
you have. This is the kiss of death. You need to narrow your
focus. That's the key to success.
2. Stop rationalizing.
Somewhere along the way you're going to say to yourself: "This
idea isn't working because it's not the best idea. I should have
picked another."
Rubbish! This is the lazy part of your mind trying to give you an
excuse for quitting.
Don't quit. You don't know that the "other idea" is better. You
can't know this.
Drive on.
3. It's the marketing, stupid.
You should spend more of your time marketing than on any
other task. In the course of running your business, it's easy to
get caught up in a million idiotic things.
For example: "Which color paint do you think would look best
in the ladies room? Pink or mauve?"
Who cares! Make little decisions quickly, or pass them to
someone else.
If you are not spending 90% of your working day on marketing,
something is wrong.
Fix it!
Now, you can say to yourself: "Of course he's right I don't
need Mark Joyner to tell me all these things" and then forget
everything I've said.
Or...
Or, you can get started right now. I think you know which path
leads to wealth and success. The question is, do you really want
it?
