Do You Feel Successful?

Before I found my big break in Internet marketing, I was down in the dumps.

I had just finished my National Service and I had not much of an idea about what I actually wanted to do. All I knew was that I wanted to be IN CONTROL of my time. Because to me ‘time = life’, and I decided never going to cede ownership of that to anyone else (besides the wife, maybe).

After over two years in NS, I decided I had enough of having someone exerting nearly absolute authority over me because of the insignia he carries. So quite logically, chasing a high-paying 9-5 job (or 9-9!) was never on the top of my list. I’d take a lower salary and a RICHER lifestyle any day.

And besides you don’t really need loads of money to do that things you really want to do (unless you love big boats, caviar, and four women with you all the time). And you don’t really need all that stuff, do you?

Good Ideas Are Not Good Enough

It’s been often said that all it takes is ONE good idea to make it big. And I really believe in that. Take a look around and you’ll see that all the really good ideas out there today are making lots of money.

Let me give you some examples…

The guy who thought about sticking that thing on a battery that indicates how much power is left had a great idea (and is reaping millions).

The Nintendo Wii is a great idea. It’s so revolutionary that it’s the bestselling video game console in the world right now. It’s so good even grandmothers want to play it and it’s catapulted Nintendo right back into the video game industry.

Viagra is a great idea! And Pfizer and all the counterfeits selling the little blue pill are making tons of cash as well. (And all the housewives are happy!)

The WHEEL is a great idea (haha!). Almost everything that works today needs the freaking wheel. Whichever caveman that invented the wheel should be made a god. Too bad patents weren’t invented before the wheel or he (and his descendants) would seriously be rolling in the cash.

So you see, many great ideas out there are making it really big today. It’s normal - great ideas make money. But I think you know that already.

However, an idea is NOT enough.
