'One Size Fits All' Doesn't!


I'm off for a week to Las Vegas to attend an Internet marketing seminar.

I expect that I will see some familiar faces there.

Those people are those who are either...

a) There to constantly develop their knowledge and contacts
b) There because they are 'seminar junkies'

Now...I certainly am in the a) camp as I go to these things - but only if I make sure in some way that I get a 'return' on my investment - whether it's from the application of my new knowledge, or from making new contacts.

Unfortunately...I'll also meet again the 'junkies'...who are attending yet another seminar just to say that they've been...but aren't really any further forward than when I first met them over the last couple of years.

These people...although having good intentions...get sucked in by the actual attending part - and forget that, if they've been to more than a couple of seminars - they should actually be making progress.

It seems to me that they'll STILL looking for the 'next big thing' - instead of working out WHAT they REALLY want from attending.

Of course...it's not always easy to quantify a return from going to these things...but being in exactly the same place six months after attending does not signal success to me!

It's the same with whatever you do.

It's pointless reading something (or even watching, for that matter)...unless you literally TRANSLATE it into a way that COULD work for YOU.

Remember...you'll probably fail if you try to 'copy' exactly what the 'gurus' tell you - as YOU are not THEM.

But...in order for you NOT to be a KNOWLEDGE junkie who is just standing still - then you need to understand that you should aim for the nuggets of information that fit YOU like a glove instead of trying to apply everything and fail.

I could tell you EXACTLY what I do and how I do it...yet, unless you apply it in a way that suits YOU...then it almost certainly won't work for you.

We are ALL different...and therefore isn't it any wonder that 'one size fits all' DOESN'T?
