Introducing myself plus some thoughts on self-knowledge
Hi,
My name is Don - I'm new to Internet Marketing and I just started on Warrior today, partly to get some idea of what the iNet is really all about but also to make contact with real people!
I'm from England and mainly live in Brighton which is right on the South Coast. It's a city known for it's 'alternative' take on life - I'm pretty crazy so it suits me fine! Our flat is just a few yards from the beach and there's plenty of restaurants, night life, day life, high life, low life - in fact it's a very lively place, which is why we love it!
I've just got my first website running. To my surprise it was reasonably easy - once I found out how. My aim is to get away from my stressful high risk property businesses and earn my living exclusively from the Internet - the buzz phrase is 'working smart not hard' I believe. Working smart will certainly be a new experience for me but one of my niches is going to be something like 'Motivation and Achievement' - but not conventional stuff.
I don't believe in giving people a one-size-fits-all set of instructions because we're all different and anyway, I hardly even know what goes on in my own mind, so how could I guess what motivates people I've never even met? But I can give people ideas to help them get to know themselves better so they can put together their own program for success.
One the articles I read on Warrior earlier today talked about taking 100% responsibility for your life which I agree with 100%! But if you're following other people's instructions, are you really taking 100% rsponsibility?
In my opinion, with your own program you at least know where it came from and you can modify it if it's not delivering the goods. And even if it doesn't work in the short term, at least you've got to know yourself better and you will definitely succeed in the end, as long as you keep no keeping on - guaranteed.
It's an ongoing process, but a really interesting one - and one that can pay such huge dividends, not only financially but in every area of your life.
I know people say the onlooker sees more of the game but I don't think that's always true - I'm talking about what goes on in your own mind and hopefully no onlooker can access that, thank God.
Some years ago now, I started to listen to that little voice that I'd had at the back of my mind all my life but kept ignoring. Turns out that it had been talking sense all along but not very loudly. So now I'm learning to take notice!
The article I spoke about above also says that you should be 'willling to pay the price' to achieve success. Again I agree with this but I really believe that in most cases you've already paid a large part of the price! It's time to get some of the dividends I spoke about earlier!
Anyway, I rambled on for far too long. Do other people know what I'm talking about?
Don't forget I've already admitted to being crazy so I don't mind what you say.
With Best Wishes,
Don Kiddle
