So yesterday I rewarded myself for all the hard work over the weekend creating new products for a group initiative I am working on with some episodes of Marco Polo Season 1. Little did I know that I would be paid back with some profound lessons.

One Hundred Eyes

The blind kung fu master One Hundred Eyes asks Marco during a training session what he will describe Kung Fu as when he is back in the West. Without waiting for an answer he then defines it as he delivered blow after blow at the inexperienced student.

Kung Fu means, "supreme skill from hard work." as opposed to the commonly presumed idea of fighting skill based on mainly imitating animal behaviours.

Online Kung Fu

It really got me introspecting. Have I reached my Kung Fu in the things that I am doing?

Am I learning all I can about my niche? Am I educating myself in the matters of online marketing. have gone through all the training available here at WA and have I mastered them to the extent of being second nature to me.

Have I researched my market, understood the demographic, learned their habits and preferences, understood their problems and the solutions that are good for them? Have I married this to the solution I am offering, covered it in the blogs that I write, and address it in the replies to the comments on my website.


Am I really working hard, repeating the working formulae, till your last keyboard stroke?

I know I still have work to do.

How about you? Have you reached your Kung Fu in your online business yet?

Sounds like a new title of skill recognition here at WA. Every successful WA member I have come in contact with have said that if you do the training, and do the tasks, and work hard at generating a consistent flow of quality content that success will happen. This means achieving supreme skill from working hard.

So what should be the title of this WA achievement level? How about WA Kung Fu Master?

I think that is a great suggestion Dennis. It can be added to statuses like Ambassador. I like it.

Hello, Tyrell. I think that we have to emerge ourselves in what we have to learn with wisdom and we have to persist in learning till we have mastered what we have to learn, without ceasing.

True indeed Nelson. Thanks for that insight.

Good yo hear that that you have reached this level of excellence Tyrell. I continue to get to this level with good hard work.

Still striving Jerome, we are eternal students

I am old. I have several college degrees and several professional certifications. My viewpoint is I never start anything without being properly prepared. The second point is you never stop learning. The most important thing to realize while working on the Internet is that things change rapidly. What works today will probably not work tomorrow and you must change. If you are teaching yesterday's lessons then you are preparing your students to fail.

And the most important thing that I nearly forgot. You can never follow the crowd. If you notice the crowd always fails and it is the solo person who succeeds.

Oh yes, the internet marketplace is fast moving and fast changing, if one does not unlearn and learn constantly you will be left behind. There are certain sure fire traits that are required that you need to constantly apply to the new things though. That should be your root, which Hundred Eyes also mentioned. You first have to have firm roots.

You are well along on the sprint to perfection Tyrrell. Great progress!

good for you good luck

If you want to have a level of excellence in anything you have to work hard.

Good to hear that, it's an inspiration.

Still mastering the skill set. :)

Great job, I am still working on mine.
