You Cannot Become Successful On Your Own!


Are you (like me) almost tied (OK - addicted) to sitting in front of your computer?

Close your eyes...and relax!

The trouble with the growth of computer use is that we tend to forget one of the golden 'rules' of success.

"You cannot become successful on your own!"

I'm probably as guilty as anyone - but I'm now going to learn to change.

Email is so time-consuming!

You can build relationships via email (I know of one extremely successful online collaboration where the two authors have never met or spoken on the 'phone!)...but I can honestly say that the most productive ones that I have had so far contain a non-email element to them.

For example - there are a few very successful up-and-coming Internet marketers that I am building relationships with. I met them at the Internet Marketing SuperConference in Vegas this year.

The main reason that I 'shelled' out almost $3,000 to get there from the UK (and over 40 hours total travelling time) was that I wanted to show my 'face'.

There would have been no other way that I would have met two of them otherwise - because there would have been no real reason for our paths to cross online.

So - my financial and time commitment WILL pay off. It hasn't yet - but these relationships will undoubtedly be worth all of that effort in the end.

Why am I telling you this?

Well...I set myself apart from my 'peers' by physically meeting with the 'movers' and 'shakers'.

The world...whether online or offline...are full of 'me, too' people.

Set yourself apart. Make your face known. Stand up and be counted. Go the extra mile.

Do whatever you can to be different and get noticed.

I'm not for a moment suggesting that you act like a clown or embarass yourself. All I ask is that you think of ways that you can get the attention of your peers and your 'superiors' by subtly making a difference.

It's not difficult to do. It's just a little more difficult to do regularly...and that's what will make the difference.

The effort you put in now will certainly pay off for you in the future.
