If You're Smart, How Come You Aren't Rich?

4 replies
There's even more brutal version of the "get rich or die trying" imperative for Internet marketers. How about this one, if you're smart, how come you're poor? Yes, these kinds of very "motivational" messages, I keep getting every single day from our successful marketers. I'm confused a little bit. My "colleagues" are supposed to encourage me, or bury me, before I even reached the deep profitable Internet marketing waters. Which brings me to the second favorite "believe in yourself" motto for Internet marketers. The Internet is an endless ocean where every Internet marketer can find his golden fish to grant him more than 3 wishes. Seriously?

If Internet marketing is supposed to be a land of opportunities, then even the average marketer is supposed to do something noticeable. This way, I feel like the dumbest marketer in the world. There's no need for bitter tones, but I can't help myself. All you have to is believe in yourself. I'm not successful, so I don't believe enough, obviously. The trouble is, when you put it this way, it turns out that this world needs more believers than marketers.

Why is it so hard to find a rock star marketer who would say something like, here's something that worked perfectly for me. I'm not saying that you will achieve all you want with my strategy or approach, but you can try it. Instead, I get it straight into my face. If my Internet marketing principles aren't working for you, then something is wrong you. Again, very encouraging, indeed.

There's more than one way

I never liked my way or the highway principle. I think it's better to take a little bit from here and there. Only the things you like and you can successfully apply in your own situation. And yes, my word of advice, which may or may not work for you, avoid Internet marketer superstars, who suffer from both narcissism disorder and Messiah complex, because it's not going to end up well for you. Maybe, it is about time for you to come up with a theory of your own. Why not? Cyber Oceans are supposed to be open and free for all swimming enthusiasts, regardless of their skills. Just don't forget to be aware of marketing sharks. Just big fish eats the little ones. Regular successful business situation.

    Interesting post.
    : )

    I think being "Street Smart" is more important (when building wealth) than "Intellectual Smart."

    Something I learned from Napoleon Hill ("Think And Grow Rich") is that Specialized Knowledge is more important than general knowledge.

    That said, we’re all different and should rely on our strengths when accomplishing our Dream(s).
