Lots
of smart people do stupid things andsome stupid people do very smart things. This is the subject
of today's coaching.
This coaching session is inspired by Phil Baker who is a
pastor and motivational speaker from Perth, Australia. I
went to a breakfast where he was speaking on Ten Business
Principles We Can Learn from John F Kennedy.
This coaching session is based on another one of Phil's great messages called, 'Stupidity ? - Six Lessons We Can Learn from Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter'.
While this is a fun coaching session, using some technology to make it more interesting, the points raised are valid. I have learnt over the last few years of my Internet career that if you can harness your crocodiles you will find success.
Let's listen to the first point from Phil.
So what is your crocodile? Are you being adventurous? With Internet marketing you need to develop these qualities as it is very similar to the wild. That's why its called the wild, wild web.
Next
point, It only Looks Stupid.
Without
experience and putting time into preparation you are
entering dangerous ground. This is probably why 95% of
people fail with Internet business. They get chewed up by
the crocodiles.
Next,
Hedgehogs eat Crocs.
Jim
Collins who we featured recently has taken this concept
and applied it to business. What is your hedgehog? Be the
best you can be and do what you are good at. Don't try and
follow the masses. Find your niche!
Next,
Outnumber the Crocodiles.
Don't be
a loner. This is one of the purposes of MSIncome.com. To
work with you and offer you a partner who you can fight your
crocs with. If not us, then find coaches and people who you
can bounce ideas off and ask all those seemingly stupid
questions.
How do
I know you have questions? When I started I had heaps of
seemingly stupid questions and someone was willing to listen
to my questions and give me good answers, so I am here
today.
Understand this, I did not even know what html was, let
alone emails, etc.
The
Crikeeeee factor.
Have you got the crikee, the wow factor in your life and
your business? I have recently joined a Network Marketing
business and though I don't go to many of the meetings the
few I have
attended have shown one of the reasons why people fail and
why other succeed. Excitement!
The company tries it's hardest to provide all the resources and great products, however many people blame them for not doing enough. It's our part to take hold of what we have, whether on the Internet, in your everyday job, your life or your business and make it the most exciting thing you can.
Now -
It's all about the Wild Life!
What
purpose do you have that is bigger than your self? As you
may have noticed, we promote different causes, such as
orphanages in Thailand and Mozambique.
I feel this is one of the most important points, for when things are not going quite as planned, then your purpose and vision will under gird you and encourage you to carry on.
To your success
