Each evening
when you have yet again outwitted the lions, tigers, bears, etc, you should
have your full attention focused on your family, your friends, your hobbies,
etc. We can all get
put into positions where one world must overlap the other. Those things happen
but you need to keep the two worlds as separate as you can. You will also need
to put a lid on your guilt complex if you have one. You are NOT a terrible
person because you can’t take 3 hours out of your day to take old Aunt Mae to
her beauty shop appointment. Everybody else is working? So are you! Get over
it....other arrangements can be made. You might need to stand in front of a
mirror and practice saying, “No” and saying it effectively. J Recognize
Real Opportunity It’s easy
to get so aware of the dangers out in the internet business jungle that you
fail to recognize real opportunities when they present themselves. Remember
this....all of the natives are not UNFRIENDLY and there are some cannibals that
feed on the bad guys only. Along with lions, tigers, bears and snakes there are
also helpful creatures. There are plants that are medicinal, too. Danger and
opportunity live side by side in the Internet business jungle. You just need to
be able to tell the difference between the two. You don’t want to fall into a
trap or get eaten alive but neither do you want to miss out on the real and
vibrant opportunities that also abound. To help
yourself recognize opportunity and avoid danger in the internet business
jungle, ask yourself these questions: Is it legal? In order to answer this question
about any situation you are presented with, whether it be entering into a
business agreement or buying a piece of software, you need to know what the
laws are and what the rules and regulations are that govern the specific
situation. Knowing the laws, rules and regulations makes you strong and able to
recognize a real opportunity when it happens.....they DO happen! Is it real? There is so much hype out there
that is sometimes very difficult to get past the hype and down to the bear
facts of an offer. Ignore the super duper salesmen and look hard and long at
the product, service or offer itself. Only you can determine what is real and
what is just fluff, hype and a polished sales spiel. Will it help me? Whether you are thinking
about taking a seminar, teleseminar or webinar or buying a piece of software,
agreeing to a business arrangement or hiring a bookkeeper or a consultant, ask
yourself if it will really help you get to where you are going. Educate
Yourself Everybody knows
something that you don’t know. It might be what TO do or it might be what NOT
to do....but everybody knows something. It’s been said, ‘Get and education’.
You have probably had that preached to you since you were knee high to a duck.
It’s good advice but what nobody tells you is that you ARE getting an
education....of some kind. We all get an education just by living in this
world. Of course, you
were being told to get a formal education...go to school....go to
college....get advanced degrees. It’s not bad advice but that isn’t the only
way to become educated.
