Success is determined by choice, not circumstances

How many of us miss that one by a long mile, and many kilometers?

I think about that and I also like to think about choices made, for example you can excuses or results, but not both!

Robert blogged the other day about creating income without a website, just business cards and word of mouth. And it has created a nice income for him.

I remember mowing lawns back as a youngster, and I got a friends mother to print me up a bunch of flyers, I put those in mailboxes of hopeful clients with my name, address and phone number.

That got noticed real fast, like in a few days, maybe less. The postmaster came to visit me and he did not want to hire me. Learned a lesson that day, so I went out and purchased some tape and from there on out I would tape these flyers on the front doors of hopeful clients.

Soon I started getting phone calls and then real fast I found myself with a new problem to solve, I had more lawns to mow than I had time or ability. So now I am hiring help, I charge 5 buck to mow a lawn, pay my worker 3 bucks. I hired out 10 lawns and made 20 bucks.

Look for the problems, solve them and create a simple, fast and easy way to share that and bam, little bit of word of mouth, little bit of friends sharing, whole bunch of writing and getting word out there and next thing you know you have an online business.

Even old school is still working, make some business cards up and hand those out, however a website is a business card and cost less than printing out business cards. And unlike us, Website are up and open 24/7 every single day.
