Standing on the Shoulders of Others.

Build, Build and Build Some More.

There are many words or phrases for it, the skyscraper effect or Standing on the shoulders of others are 2 that come to mind.

Find someone who is like you and look at their website and see what they are doing. What are they emailing out as "freebies" to capture email addresses. Look at their websites, how many links are there, where do they place videos, what do they promote, look at everything.

Apart from the training, there is a wealth (Pardon the pun) of information with the members alone.

But what it boils down to is most of what we have done has been done before. We just need to personalize it and add to it in an honest and professional manner. What do I mean by that? Simply, don't copy. But by all means get ideas, be inspired and write for yourself.

A Shout Out.

I have to give a shout out to those who inspire me on the business side of things.

And currently I have been looking at Phil1944 as his stuff on AI is exceptional. Don't worry Phil, I'm not stalking..lol..but honestly turn off the bathroom lights.

Other members I advise following are Cassi of troy, Tim McKinlay, Vitaly G (His spot is not hard to find) and Partha.

Pick their brains or pick their website and see if they can help you on your road to success.

We are so lucky to have an incredible amount of information on hand. I still go back to the basic training to refresh myself. And..tsk tsk..I have still not finished the bootcamp training. Mea Culpa, it will be done. Only 2 years, it took me 8 years to get married to my first wife, so don't push it. lol.

We should never be out of ideas as to what to write about because all the lovely members here continually inspire with great blogs you can "stand on the shoulders of"

Put on your socks.
