Give Me Heat And Then I Will Add The Wood

Give Me Heat And Then I Will Add The Wood

The title of this post is taken from Earl Nightingale´s "The Strangest Secret".

In relation to it, I will ask you this question;

What comes first, the fire or the wood?

It is an easy question, of course it is the wood that comes first, then the fire and then the heat.

Where am I going with this?

People have no problems answering the first question correctly. Where most fail in their marketing and blogging efforts are;

They want heat before they have any wood available to light up a fire!

That is why they quit before they even have begun, or quitting shortly after they have begun. They haven´t done anything or they have skipped the training, have created a website and expect tons of traffic and money immediately.

Diane Scorpio´s latest post show how the principle of what we are taught at WA works, but only if you add wood to your fire.

When your fire is lit, you have to add more wood to the fire to keep it going. Add high quality wood, and the fire will generate lots of heat. Add poor quality wood, and the fire will barely stay alive.

This is the same thing for your website, your other marketing channels you use and your online business.

Add poor quality content or useless content, and you will attract no traffic. Add high quality content which is usable and valuable to your potential audience, and the traffic will come and grow

But it will take time, just like it takes time for a fire to generate lots of heat.

How do you create high quality content? By learning from others and practice.

That is how athletes become great, how good doctors get very good at what they do, how Kyle and Carson have achieved their success with WA, and they keep adding high quality "wood" to the WA platform.

So, my question to you are once again;

Are you trying to get heat before you add wood to your fire?

Let me know in the comments what you are doing to add fire to your business?

What are your prioritized tasks for this week and the coming month?

Have a great and productive week!
