realized that the straightforward methods of running an affiliate marketing
campaign might not be as simple as you thought. After all, which are doing is
repeating the strategy that some of the guru has offered to you.

Most of you would have attempted to use something called the Google Cash method.
In this method, the online marketing strategy that is involved requires you to
advertise on Google Adwords in order to send traffic direct to your affiliate
link. However, this method has been obsolete ever since Google Adwords prevented
more than one affiliate link to appear on their sponsored links sidebars. Some
innovative it affiliate marketers have actually create a new strategies to still
use Google Adwords without having to pay for higher bids. [as of today, there is
a new version of the Google Cash approach that still works. To find out more
from a third party source,
click here - the original Google Cash Detective is not available to the
public]

Recently, something called “Day Job Killer” sprung into the affiliate marketing
scene and began to give affiliate marketers some new hope of being able to earn
their income using very simple methods on Google Adwords and more.

However, in my opinion as long as there are thousands and thousands of people
using the strategies, you will end up losing out because unless you started
implementing them immediately after you use these books, you wouldn’t be able to
profit.

So, what is a new Internet marketing strategy that can hit the ball out of the
park? For most people, online marketing strategies that affiliates use are
simply copied of other successful campaigns. While this has a gem of wisdom, it
is obviously flawed –anyone who copies successful campaigns will always be a
follower, not the leader.

Sure, after copying a campaign, you might be able to make quite a few sales. But
what happened to you be able to innovate new Internet marketing strategies? I
think the weakness in many people is that they are unable to innovate new online
marketing systems and strategies that work well for them. So in order to be
better at affiliate marketing, you need to begin to seek out strategies that are
far more creative.

The elements of creativity come from studying other peoples’ affiliate marketing
strategies. Take the best of breed practices and then combine them in order to
come out with something more effective. Take a look for instance, at the idea of
a viral ebook. Instead of letting people pass around the book, now Internet
marketers are paying other people to pass the ebook around. Seek to dominate a
strategy in the affiliate marketing space with a new strategy after innovating.

By developing a more effective way to think, individuals should be better able to accomplish their goals more effectively.

One of the things sorely lacking in the personal motivation and goal-setting arena is that there is very little opportunity for people like you and me to see how it applies to my life other than a motivating factor. I hope this is more than adequately addressed in our book “Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny”. You see, everytime you take action, you either succeed or you don’t. The way to success is to measure your results, change your strategies, and then move closer to your goals.

I’ve found that so many people lack model-based reasoning because they don’t have ‘prototypes’. Cognitive psychologist Eleanor Rosch had developed in 1974 something called ‘prototype theory’ which I’m alluding to. When you think of a chair, you have a mental prototype or a ’schema’. Hence, you know what to sit on. In fact, as long as a table fits the utility of a chair, you’re gonna sit on it anyway. If a sink is big enough, it’s called a bathtub. If a plate is light enough, it’s called a frisbee. We all have mental schema where the “rules” can be broken. Without slowly breaking these ‘rules’, we won’t have the opportunity to be creative.
Here comes the real internet marketing stuff – if you are a complete newbie in business. How are you supposed to get the right picture? You have NO schema or prototypes in your head, and therefore, have no idea how much you should or should not be making.

This is why modeling is important. You need to follow common business models, then break their edges to become more inventive and innovative so as to come up with a more powerful concept for the future.

Let’s say you have a sequence of steps: A>>B>>C>>D. IF you could explain it, your students will be able to pick up the exact sequence. However, we all know that human communication is distorted. Your students may either get LESS than the transmitted communication (called deletion) or get MORE than the transmitted communication (called distortion). Whatever it is, you won’t have ABCD. You might have ACD or ABCEFG.

Now… I want you to think about how beginners always get confused about affiliate marketing. They have no idea that there are two parts – affiliate selling and affiliate management. Both form part of the affiliate marketing strategy. As an affiliate seller, you pick products to sell. As an affiliate manager, you recruit and groom affiliates. At the same time, as a seller, you still need to know the process – building a site, generating relevant content, building traffic, obtaining opt-ins, promoting to your list, then receiving payment. These are the steps. Yet, within each step, there are sub-steps as well. No wonder it’s so difficult for them to comprehend!

Think about a simple website. If anyone doesn’t know about website editing, they will think it is really complicated! Then, you will probably find that there is far less knowledge being developed because they hold the idea that it is too difficult to do. What rubbish! There is a site on website building that I highly recommend for newbies. It literally uses the concept of model based reasoning to assist you in understanding the power you have over website codes.
Go there for a visit: http://internetmarketingsingapore.com/blog/611/beginning-html/

On my blog, I explain what needs to be done. Basic components to allow you to learn website creation and editing. The site in my blog post basically allows you to learn snippets of HTML at a go. Very powerful as a learning tool.

Now you can see that what you do with your code influences the result of the web page. This is helpful to give you the foundation, and I highly recommend anyone who needs to learn to give it a shot. After all, you may be a newbie, but you might actually grow into an expert with time!

Human beings are born modelers. If you can gain control over what you model, you could be a superstar.

Pick an exemplar (a model), then watch the way this is done through spying, research or communication.

Emulate what is being done and the elements that led to that.

Explore the missing elements that distinguish you from the model. Implement those.
Then, find out how to repeat it in a different context using the same process.

If you are interested in model-based reasoning, I teach a less rigid and less techie one as seen on this site: http://www.msu.edu/~tne/science/sciencelink_11.htm (which incidentally appears to have the most comprehensive amount of information). It’s the modeling process based on Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) that has been instrumental in my development as a public speaker, an internet marketer and an entrepreneur. You’ll hear more about this as we go along the way.

There are several internet marketing campaigns that I like to do, but all use different strategies.

#1 – Email blast to blog marketing.
This form of marketing moves away from simply telling people to buy right from their email. It’s been known that when you have a blog, your message appears less threatening, and therefore, an email sending you to a blog post tends to have fairly high conversions into sales.

#2 – Tell-A-Friend viral contest.
This can help you to boost the launch when you are working with people who might win something as a result of your campaign. Tell-A-Friend scripts can easily be sequenced by using an email marketing software.

#3 – Multiple media marketing campaigns.
Instead of relying purely on text, use audio postcards, video messages, or even send your traffic to sites such as YouTube or Google Video.

#4 – Inner Circle Pre-launch campaign.
When you converse with people in an inner circle meeting, these people have the power to pack a punch. You need people with a big enough list and a strong enough reputation to be able to pull in viewers to anything you are selling. Super affiliates should be in your inner circle, give them a good enough deal and you will see plenty of traffic.

#5 – Business to Business Marketing Launch.
Sometimes, a B2B launch isn’t all that difficult either. The same processes apply, with the exception that you really need to have JV partners to help you out with this. Similar to #4 – you want to have an inner circle of joint marketing partners who can help you to launch a product or a service into the market with strong branding and testimonials in Press Releases, radio messages, and especially newspaper advertising.

#6 – Press Release Channel Marketing
Press releases are a boon – submit your news to www.PRWeb.com and you can have a huge throng of traffic coming to your site.

#7 – Teleseminar Marketing
I learnt this through my friend Alex Mandossian. The approach simply requires you to develop a teleseminar offer, educate your list, then get them to spread the word either by getting them to distribute the product and package as an affiliate, or even give them something viral they can spread around. It’s all about getting people to talk to others that you want to multiply the effect of your internet marketing campaign. Remember – drive them BACK to websites to download extra freebies and the like.

probably means that you want to develop a better idea about how to establish a
strong Internet marketing
strategy to reach out to your audience.  The trouble is… it
sometimes is blended with technology and thinking. You see, it’s so common that
people have this instinctive fear of a technical development, or having to
logically process information that they abandon their online plans completely. 
It’s the ostrich syndrome. Please don’t be like this.  I’d like you to
embrace the technology, and learn to become friends with it. I want you do
embrace logical thinking and become pals. 

The concept of strategy is
really like method of conquering.  If you were an emperor attempting
to expand your empire, you would think of military strategy to overcome 
and overwhelm your enemy.  Likewise, in the world of Internet
marketing, the best way to get ahead of your competitors is to identify
strategies that help you to leapfrog what they have. 

Consider the fact that any
Internet Marketing Strategy has to help YOU gain an advantage .  

You could gain advantage in terms
of online branding. Some people call it mindshare. While it is
difficult to quantify the value of brands, it is not difficult for you to
quantify the value of your visitor.  If you’re visitor is willing to spend
$100.00 per visit, that’s $100.00 per visitor per visit.  If you had a
thousand visitors that generated you $100.00 each time they visited, you’d be
wealthy beyond imagination.  However, it is likely that their loyalty to
the brand is probably worth anything between a dollar to $10.00 per visitor . 
If you had a thousand visitors, this would translate into $10,000.00 in total. 
That’s a lot!

There are so many ways to create
online branding — e-mail marketing, article submissions, press releases, joint
ventures, teleseminar marketing, and I think the list can go on forever. 
It’s not so much what is being done, but what quality it is being done at. 

You could also gain advantage in
terms of search engine rankings.  Of course, this is provided that
though such rankings translate into a higher level of web traffic that comes to
your website.  Very often, search engine rankings also translates into a
higher online brand presence. 

Another way to gain an advantage
is through the loyalty building.  Online, there are many ways in
which to establish a community so that loyalty is enhanced, Enforced, and
expanded. You could also create a loyal following simply by producing
information products that are highly popular and profitable.  One such
person who is done this is Rich
Schefren, notably one of the most powerful thought leaders in Internet
marketing today.  He released a video free of charge that lasted about
close to 90 minutes as well as three reports which when compiled could easily
total in excess of a $197.00 selling price — and I doubt anyone would have
complained even if they had to pay. Forums and social sites
actually also increase loyalty powerfully. The reason why blogs have not taken
off to a brand new level is that the social function of blogs has not yet been
exploited the way it ought to be. 

Speed and productivity is
also another very powerful way of influencing the advantage that you have over
any one of the competitors.  In order for this to happen, you will have to
establish a higher technological edge or a systems edge.  when I mean
technology, I mean productivity software.  If you could reduce the
amount of time you spend doing one thing, then you’d be doing things faster than
any of your competitors.  At the same time, if you could make everything
systematic, it will multiply your ability to hire people who can do exactly
the same thing you and if you’re not around. 

Learning is also a
productivity enhancer. If you learnt 10 times faster, you could probably move
faster, and know how to generate your tools better. As my good friend
Alex Mandossian says, the
more you learn, the more you earn! Creative thinking is a skill that is
learnable. So is systems thinking. So is search engine optimization. Whatever
the case, you need to learn FAST. I’m talking reading a book a day if you needed
to.

Effective hiring.  As
we all know, it is virtually impossible to handle everything yourself. 
This also means, you need to be open to the idea of hiring new stuff in order to
accomplish what you need to do.  In this sense, you need to be able to
recognize different competences that will then enable your company or
organization to fly. 

Effective a outsourcing. 
Now, we all know about outsourcing and leveraging on low cost so that we can
create a huge amount of value .  The thing is this — most people do not
know how to outsource if actively.  If you know how to outsource, you know
very well that it comes from the principle of providing the highest possible
value .  If you produce $100.00 worth of work in an hour, you probably
wouldn’t give that up in order to do something that produced only $1.00 in an
hour.  In this sense, you need to know how much you are worth.  If
you’re worth $50.00 an hour, and that all was spent writing an article, you
literally created a cost area for yourself equivalent to $50.00.  If
however, you could get someone to write that same article are just $10.00, do
you realize how much you just saved?  Effective outsourcing also enables
you to speed up the process is if you already have a system in place for your
business. 

In conclusion, the most important
impact of your internet marketing strategy is to pulverize the opposition. You
don’t just need to get more visitors to your site, you need to get more targeted
ones. More loyal ones. You don’t just need speed and productivity. You need to
have such speed that competitors have NO WAY of catching up with you. So… it
seems like it all boils down to competence and the ability to manage
an internet business. And my question is… have you found the right person,
competent enough to guide and coach you into building a rock-solid,
competition-proof business?

not an art. What you have to do is literally follow a system. At least, that’s
what I’ve realized in many effective business models from all around the world.
Building your business and turning it into a runaway success is NOT about
creating lots and lots of work for you to do. It’s got to do with something
called a system.

When you work really hard to get
a customer, you’d want to service the customer to the point where they buy more
stuff from you. It’s natural. When I walk into a store to buy a shoe, I don’t
want to walk another block just to buy the socks. I’ll just stay there and add
on to the purchase if I need. The same thing happens to any other business.

Service By
Providing The Best Possible Options

I get really paranoid when people
ask me if I have anything else that I would like to offer to them. To me,
getting the offer is one thing, but I think the most important element of the
offer is to ensure that whatever you are giving is at a great deal for them,
especially since they are past customers. They will appreciate you for it and
continue to support you.

How To Get
Customers To Support Your Business?

My opinion of this is really
simple. Build content! I’ve already shared how to create a video, how you can
add new content to your site with simple articles. Just keeping a blog in my
opinion is insufficient. What you need to do is to provide valuable content and
generate useful tools for your audience. For instance, I’m about to
release a brand new service that will eliminate your problems in generating
sales pages. Just punch a few details and you will get the convenience of having
these pages updated for you on a regular basis. Also, since many people are not
technically interested (I say ‘interested’ not ‘inclined’), I’ve also taken the
liberty to have a technical support service which will do two things. First, it
will give you regular web based seminars that will teach you things you need to
know. Second, it will alleviate you from having to do it yourself. I’ll announce
more of this in my subsequent emails to you.

Internet Marketing Expert Strategy For Anyone

I was intrigued by how simple this marketing strategy was, but is currently
being used widely and can be considered one of the best ways to market online
right now. I believe that people who are interested to leapfrog the rat race
into internet riches will want to know this expert strategy largely because it’s
so simple for newbies to implement.

First of all, you build a product that is extremely comprehensive. I’m not
interested in the excuses you might have for building products. If you don’t
know how, then you really should attend the
Internet Marketing Academy! Product creation need not be painful, and it
really should not be a lousy product either.

Once you have the product ready in a market of people who are ready to buy,
then you just need to select the fastest channels. The fastest way I know is to
head up to Google and find the top 10 listed sites and contact them. You may not
know this, but often, people’s contact numbers are actually listed on
www.Alexa.com or even
www.WhoIs.sc. Call them, introduce yourself
and then you should have a list of about 10 to 20 people. You really should
offer then more than just a 50% deal – possibly up to 75%. Just know that when a
large behemoth of emails gets sent out, your income goes up straight away.

Then, make sure you take that money and re-invest it properly all over again.
I believe very strongly that if you want to establish a good, credible presence,
you need people around you to do that. Good people.

The Sharpest Tools In The Internet Marketing Shed

I have many tools. Too many, some may complain. But you may realize that my
biggest asset is NOT the tools, it’s my BRAIN. To develop your brain, you will
have to invest in knowledge. In order to digest that knowledge, you must
definitely develop your learning capabilities. Learning skills, as you might
know, is my forte, and is the single most important reason why I was able to
break into the internet marketing space in under 3 months. If you want to just
jump into a market space that is extremely crowded, you must know how to
research your target. Look at top sites. Article directories. Anyplace that
allows you to gather solid information about the market (even forums) and you
will understand what the market wants.

Then, this is the time for you to innovate. Once again, brain juice. It never
takes huge, excessive effort for anyone who is interested in learning how to
master their mind. All you need to do is to increase the amount of learning
about your brain. Things like innovation skills, creativity, mind mapping and
related things that dozens of people have learn are really key to your gradual
brain development. There’s nothing like overloading your brain muscle, then
suffering from brain cramp after.

You need to develop your mental tools – your thinking tools. 

Learn About Your JV Partners

The worst thing I’ve found is someone emailing me and calling me "Jane". They
know nothing about me, and have no idea what I’m doing. You need to get to know
who your JV partners are, and start to get yourself involved in their agenda.
Find out what they need, then offer to assist them and provide them with some
kind of value.

Do not waste someone else’s time. Don’t tell them "I’ll be happy to help
you". Tell them exactly what you can do for them, and then let them consider it.
If you say things like "let me know if I can help you" or "I want to help you -
what do I do". Do the ground work for them and then volunteer and put yourself
on the line. Commit to your promise, and then deliver.

If you find that there is something that your JV partner needs, then you
really ought to ensure that this is done – be it creating a product on their
behalf, or anything else like that. I definitely believe that anyone who is
starting any kind of marketing will know that a product creates value. The value
that’s generated from sincerity and effort will pay of huge heaps… only if you
are willing to walk that extra mile.

Conclusion – Start now!

Yeah, you say you can’t learn fast. You have to pick up the skills now.

Yeah, you say you know nuts about marketing. You have to pick up the skills
now!

You might even claim you aren’t a smart person. Well, if you keep thinking
that, you might just get it, right?

Take heed – the internet marketing world values information. The new age of
information has economies and government bodies that value information far more
than gold itself. If you are in the position of generating useful and effective
content, then you will gain far more credibility than anyone else. I’d even
challenge you to take the next 3 months simply on
info product development. If you want to propose a JV with me, plan the leg
work and I’ll support you with your marketing. There’s lots of money to be made
on the internet!

Great! So you send traffic to your affiliate sites, and suddenly realize that you don’t have people buying your product, or very few actually do. You lament the fact that only 10 people click through the ads you run on Google. You are frustrated because you want to get more affiliate sales, but nothing seems to be moving as fast as you want.

As an affiliate marketer, you need to have proper online marketing strategy. If you are blindly sending out emails or creating advertising campaigns, then you might just get yourself into trouble. At the end of the day, you might even chalk up a loss.

This is definitely not smart internet marketing.

I would recommend at least three things for online marketing strategy in the context of affiliate marketing. Doing this could mean the difference between a profitable business online, or a completely languid one.

First, you need to ask “how quickly will people tell others about me”. This is a powerful concept, but few actually structure their marketing efforts to deliberately become viral in nature.

Second, you must have a clear sequence. Instead of some very weak marketing messages, you need to have a clear theme leading to a crescendo. It’s literally like a wave, and momentum in your affiliate strategy, even if you are marketing a 20-page report requires you to make a campaign that is worthy of a $5,000 product! One mistake that online marketers make is they ignore the momentum required to break through to the audience and grab their attention, and the fastest way to get this done is through credibility and through multiple media messages, such as video and audio.

Third, you need to craft your plan such that you know what to offer next. This may seem rudimentary, but in order for your battle plan to be executed perfectly, your army needs to know what has to be done today compared with they had done yesterday. Guidance is what the marketing general needs to do when conquering the market place.

Think of yourself as a strategist rather than a tactician, and you’ll find that your online marketing strategy will be a smarter, longer term approach than just the typical meagre effort other affiliate marketers use.

"Why Wealthy
People Can Become Wealthy Any Time, Any Where Under Any Condition
Part 3"

 


I‘m
glad to have had the opportunity to finally interview
Jeff Walker. Jeff stands a wee
bit taller than me – you can probably tell when he’s just got out of
bed, and while this photo isn’t a really flattering one, it tells a
tale of a guru who’s really an ordinary guy who loves guitars and
enjoys breaking into new markets with new launches simply to test
things out.

 

The essence of
Jeff is humility. Approachable and very, very easy to connect with.
Not necessarily available all the time, but his time could mean the
launch of $1.3 million made in 36 minutes
(by the way, it actually happened).

 

It was quite an
intimidating thing considering my audio bridge line was terminated
unexpectedly, but I suspect all went well anyway. Jeff’s an example
of the guy who’s developed earning
capabilities and wherever he goes now, he can do product
launches and keep his family from starving… at will. When he needs
to raise money, at the snap of a finger, he’s got a plan to build
any kind of income from any source, instantly!

 

What if YOU
could build this earning muscle? Would be cool, right? And I think
you CAN – provided you take all the stuff I’ve given you and be a
part of your own study group to assess and analyze this. Put things
together. Model the guests I’ve been having on teleseminars over and
over.

 

How would you
like it to know the people that Jeff’s been working with? On the
call, I wasn’t at ALL surprised that he mentioned
Rich Schefren because I know
that what Jeff does is already very systematic, and it really gets
him to where he needs to go. Both masters even exchange ideas about
what to do and where to go. That’s modeling. That’s
masterminding.

 

Jeff’s work with
John Reese also was phenomenal.
But don’t just look at the results and be awed. I know they work.
They are principle-centered approaches to get the kind of income you
desire. Big names, big numbers, but your numbers need not be this
big. You could do what I did – $15k in 4 days. How would that
dramatically change your perception of how much you are worth?

 

Product
Launches… whether they work or not really depends on how far you
extend your hand to interact with someone who might have had far
more experience than you. It’s not easy, but I know how much it can
do for you. Most important, you need to build the GUTS to do it.
Forming a network is easy. Saying it is great, but actually doing
it… hm. I don’t think many people are up to it.

 


I will not be releasing Jeff’s ideas openly
to the public until after much later. There is a very
important reason why.

 

I’ve said before
that people who take action will
be rewarded. I had to see how many people would go the distance to
stay in check with material available. Obviously, there were some
people on the call, and these people benefited by having their
brains overloaded with gems of wisdom. I’ve heard Jeff talk about
the Product Launch Formula before, but hey… listening to him
telling me, I was like a kid in kindergarten again.

 

Should I Stop
Doing Teleseminars?

 

Because of the
fairly disappointing service I’ve got from this provider, I actually
may be forced to find another service provider. We had echoing
lines, the service terminated ahead of time, the speakers got kicked
out of the conference. It was a nightmare.
I guess you get what you pay for.

 

As far as I can
tell, these people charge by the minute per caller. Under these
circumstances, I may have to choice but to either do "live" but paid
teleseminars, or stop doing them totally.

 

It’s a kind of
epiphany when I realize I have to pay something like US$0.05 – $0.08
a minute per caller. That’s $4.50 – $4.80 per person. If I had my
average 100 people, that would mean $450 in 90 minutes! At the rate
I do teleseminars, I’d sooner go broke. Well, off hunting for a
better service. Still, it’s better than Singtel – geez $22.50 per
person per 90 minute segment. Maybe I ought to get my own audio
conferencing bridge (which apparently costs in the region of $100k).
Sigh. It never ends does it.

 


Take Advantage While
You Can!

Don’t miss the boat
- stay tuned with my teleseminars. You only need to look at the

Teleseminars tab. You have to be registered and verified to be
able to log in.

"Why Wealthy People Can Become Wealthy Any
Time, Any Where Under Any Condition Part 2"


I
have been
training in personal development for almost
14 years now, and it still strikes me about
one thing – that people who succeed are the
ones who
proactively get
things done rather than the ones
who wait for things to happen, or
wait for someone to give a kick in their
butt.


I just finished a fairly challenging second
half of a year in 2007. It had good times
and fantastic triumphs, and it had really
low and sad times. For what it’s worth, I
think it’s not an understatement when I say
that I’d do it all again. I even think I’m
addicted to it. The key issue is
transferring this



It’s
Better To Know Your
Past Than Your Future


Everyone wants to tell the future. We want a
sneak peek at our lives if we were 20 years
down the road. Well, we already know how to
tell the future. It’s from the way you treat
your past. If you’ve always formed up a
pattern of procrastination in your head, do
you still think you’d be a successful
person? I doubt it!


I thing the power to our future is knowing
our past well. In the classic Michael J. Fox
‘Back to the Future‘ trilogy, Fox’s
character gets thrown into the past where he
sees his parents and how his interference
turns his father into someone much stronger
and fearless.


In the process of neuro linguistic
programming (and I’m currently the most
senior, licensed NLP trainer in Singapore to
talk about that), it’s about looking at
your past and LEARNING from it.


You can speak now, can’t you? But it took
some time –
you definitely didn’t come out into the
world complimenting the doctor for his
skills in surgery. You had to go through
some training, some learning, some modeling.


Don’t know how to play basketball? Surely
you have to shoot a few hoops in order to
get there. I’ll bet if you started you’ll be
frustrated with the misses. But that paves
the way to condition the right muscles to
reach the right skill levels.


What exactly am I saying here?


Learn from your past. Pick the lessons to
empower you. Then
take action.


"Taking action" is easy to say, but I think
it sounds so commonsensical that people pass
it off as the obvious truth, then they
"uh-huh" it away into oblivion. Look – if
you are taking action, you are making things
happen.



Piecing The Puzzle:
"What Software? What Steps? What In The
World Do I Do??"


If
you’ve been asking this for too long, you
might be on the verge of having me
slap you silly.
Sure, we all need a second opinion, but not
on frivolous things like this. Some people
ask me how to start creating products
without actually having started DOING it.
Well, the sad thing is this – if you spent
all your time wondering and lamenting that
you don’t know where to start and just DID
it, you’d be one step ahead in experience
compared with everyone else.


I don’t care if you’re slow – just go do it.
Once you have explored what it is like to
build a book or CD or DVD, you’d be ready to
repeat that anywhere, anytime.




Perfectionists
Fail?


Do perfectionists fail? Is this why
Singaporean workers  are pelted with
complaints from so many employers that they
aren’t creative enough? Have we fallen into
the MYTH of hard work and ended up right
back where we started? In Singapore’s case,
our founding fathers never said "I don’t
really know how to start". If they did, we’d
be still sitting by the river in an old
fishing village.


But in our culture here in Singapore, have
we been too taken care of, too reliant and
too afraid of failure? Or is there
something else
that is stopping us from taking action?


In my opinion, people who take action end up
making MANY stupid mistakes that they
shouldn’t have made. But the key word is
"shouldn’t". Who says? Who has the right to
say what you should have gone through and
what you shouldn’t? I’ll quote you one of my
students whom I shall refer to as "Jim". As
a skeptic initially, what Jim did was he got
so frustrated, he fired himself up and
forced himself to learn HTML – a difficult
step to many, but once he got the hang of
it, he too the frustration and confusion and
picked up over a very short time, many
relevant and important skills. I asked him
what drove him to do that, and he said "If I
don’t help myself first, nobody else can
help me".



Mistakes Make
Your Experience Rich


If you’ve
never made a mistake, how can you help
anyone through the same thing? In my
opinion, if your life was just plain
sailing, you couldn’t see the blind spots.
It would also mean you might not be able to
stand the test of reality should
circumstances skew out of favor against you.


Mistakes don’t just make your experience
rich. Where Jim was concerned, experience
made him understand what difficulties other
people faced, and allowed him to advise
others based on that set of experiences and
share them. In this case, he elevates
himself to the status of an instructor or
guide. With time, he can elevate himself to
the status of coach or mentor.



Conclusion:
Take Action, Build Your Process


Do you want to be an ‘average person’? Then
wait for things to happen. If you want
extraordinary things to happen, you have to
lead with that extra bit of effort.


Don’t know how to write an article?


Research and learn it and test it.

 


Don’t know about affiliate marketing?


Research and learn it and test it.

 


Don’t know about how to use a software?


Research and learn it and test it.

 


Don’t know how to create a joint venture?


Research and learn it and test it.

 


Don’t know business? I think you get my
point!

 


At the end of
the day, battle procrastination.

Don’t just
stand there – do something!
