Don't know if I've mentioned him before, but Patric Chan is one of the few
new marketers who I do respect for how he operates his internet ventures.
He's also not beyond having a rant or two of his own at His Blog. Here's a snip from it, but I want you to click on over and read it from Patric.
Yes, It's that good!
The point is, when you have become so successful,
you're going to have people who like you and people who hate you for
whatever reason regardless of whether they're correct or not.
It's a fact, live with it.
The title should give you an idea what the post is about, Pissing Off Others. I'm
working on a report for new internet business startups about niche marketing, and
it covers the same thing.
You are not everyone's darling. If you are needy and co-dependent, then operating
a business is the surest way to send you into a mental health institution. People are
not going to be your free therapist or keep patting you on the head when you do
whatever you think they want you to.
It's up to you to do only 2 things, and it doesn't matter where you operate your
business or what you sell: Legally and ethically operate your business as if you are
selling to your closest friend.
HEADS UP! In a couple days, I'm going to begin deleting the archives for this blog. The reason is making the switch to "New" Blogger and since I've been posting since 2005, there is a possibility they would get deleted (uhm, I'm the person that screwed up WordPress, remember).
Those you see with comments will remain, because you may have a link to your site. I respect that and will leave those posts, but all others will be deleted within the week.
Finally, there is an email from Jim Rohn that I meant
to post last week. I think it will be worth reading for some of you because you're getting distracted by things that are really outside your personal control.
Gas prices? Outside your control. Taxes? Don't go there. Death? Getting the point. Hope this helps you stay focused on what matters.
"Doing the Remarkable"
When it comes to meeting and conquering the negativity in
your life, here is a key question: what can you do,
starting today, that will make a difference? What can you
do during economic chaos? What can you do when everything
has gone wrong? What can you do when you've run out of
money, when you don't feel well and it's all gone sour?
What can you do?
Let me give you the broad answer first. You can do the
most remarkable things, no matter what happens. People can
do incredible things, unbelievable things, despite the most
impossible or disastrous circumstances.
Here is why humans can do remarkable things: because they
are remarkable. Humans are different than any other
creation. When a dog starts with weeds, he winds up with
weeds. And the reason is because he's a dog. But that's not
true with human beings. Humans can turn weeds into gardens.
Humans can turn nothing into something, pennies into
fortune, and disaster into success. And the reason they can
do such remarkable things is because they are remarkable.
Try reaching down inside of yourself; you'll come up with
some more of those remarkable human gifts. They're there,
waiting to be discovered and employed.
With those gifts, you can change anything for yourself
that you wish to change. And I challenge you to do that
because you can change. If you don't like how something is
going for you, change it. If something isn't enough, change
it. If something doesn't suit you; change it. If something
doesn't please you, change it. You don't ever have to be
the same after today. If you don't like your present
address, change it — you're not a tree!
If there is one thing to get excited about, it's your
ability to make yourself do the necessary things, to get a
desired result, to turn the negative into success. That's
true excitement.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
That's it for today and I leave you with this -

to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles." ~Christopher Reeve
