Does This Describe Your Internet Marketing Business? - Internet Marketing Australia

I saw a post the other day in the Warrior Forum, that was talking about an old Zig Zigler story on a water pump. I got to thinking about it and I thought I would write a short article on that story and how it applies to your internet marketing businesses.

In case you do not it Zig Ziglar is a famous motivational speaker and super salesman. He talks about how you have to prime a water pump before it actually will give you any water. If you have ever pumped water from an old water pump you know this is true.

I have seen people walk up to a pump, out by the lake where we live, pump the handle a few times and walk away. They did not know how to prime the pump and quit to early. The next person would come up, prime the pump with water to get the air out, and quickly be drinking water from it.

Many times in our Internet marketing businesses we are working hard, we think, but are we really priming it for success. Often times we quit out of frustration when if we would have just primed our business a little bit more with such things as better products, more visitors to our website, building an e-mail marketing list, blogging, and so on, we could have tasted success sooner.

I know for a fact that there are people who are now successful that are not doing that many things differently than they did even a few years ago. The key is that they primed their business for success and stuck with it until they actually achieved it.
