Internet Marketing - Are You Putting the Cart Before the Horse? - Internet Marketing Australia

Why Are You Here?

Simple question with many different answers.

Go ahead, ask yourself "Why am I here?"
"Why am I reading this right now?"
"What am I looking to accomplish?"

What was your answer?

If your answer was "I want to get rich" or "I want to make a ton
of money on the Internet", then I think you need to take a step
back for a minute. Your putting the cart before the horse.

Now don't get me wrong, everyone who starts a business online ultimately wants to make a good living. And there are plenty of people doing just that. Creating a better life for themselves and their family's.

But how did these people making money on the Internet get there?

I guarantee you that it wasn't because their focus is on "Getting rich" or "Making a ton of money". No, their focused on HELPING OTHER PEOPLE get what they want out of life.

This is key to know if you ever want to make a living online.

Refocus your mind to always think "How can I help..." "What can I do to help..."
I know you have heard this before but it is one of the best quotes you will ever hear:

"You can have everything in life you want, if you help enough others get what they want"
Zig Ziglar's Golden Rule of Business.

This is a very important quote you need to understand, before you build you business. It's not enough to say "I want to make a lot of money" and then start building your business on this principle. This is a disaster waiting to happen!

You instead need to focus on "How can I build my business to help other people". This will give you true clarity of what needs to be done in your business and in your life. This is where the real wealth is.

It's not about give me, give me, give me - it's about you giving your heart and soul for the purpose of helping other people, so give, give, give!

I heard a story once from Jim Rohn in one of his seminars that I would like to share with you real quick and it went something like this.

There was this great and powerful General, a true leader in every sense of the word, who was out on his horse inspecting his battered troops after a battle. The troops where all lined up in a row for the General's inspection.

As the General was moving his way down the line looking over his troops and speaking words of encouragement and congratulations for a job well done, he noticed one of his soldiers standing tall in formation without any boots on.

The General pulled back on the reins to stop his horse in front of his soldier. He looked the soldier up and down and asked him "Soldier, where are your boots?" the soldier replied "My boots where ripped to pieces during battle. I have no boots now sir!"

The General immediately dismounted his horse and took his own boots off as the troops looked on with a quizzical look. He then proceeded to walk up to his soldier and handed him the boots he had just taken off.

'You have boots now" said the general. The soldier promptly put the boots on as the General walked back to his horse and remounted. As the General was ridding off they heard him say "No one in my Army will ever go without boots!"

Do you think his soldiers have a tremendous amount of respect for the General? You bet! The General was willing to GIVE what he had to help someone else. He didn't have to give his own boots, but he did. Is there any wonder why he was the General?

This is the point I am trying to get across to you. Stop thinking about how to make money and start thinking about how you can help someone else. If you have a true passion to help others it will shine through and the money part of the equation will take care of itself.

So don't put the cart in front of the horse. Go out and develop the skills and knowledge that you will need to help others. Build a business that focuses on helping other people.

Build your business on this principle of giving and you are sure to be blessed with success beyond your wildest dreams.
