Do you know that the only constant in most of our lives is Change! This oxymoron touches all of our lives. Very few things are constant in these times. Change is huge! Everything seems to have an extraordinary short life cycle. Best friends, romance and marriage, where we live, what we wear, what we eat and what we drink, all seem to be constantly a part of the process of on-going change. What we can come to expect today is that everything is going to change. This should have an impact on all of us in the Internet marketing arena. Staying abreast of what customers are looking for, knowing the latest marketing strategies, having insight to keep NPD (New Product Development) in the forefront and always keeping our websites and blogs finely tuned, need to be constants. If we are consistent in these areas we will win in the ever-changing marketing world.
Innovation has always been a key to business success and wealth creation. In the past innovation was primarily linked to new inventions like Walk-mans, I Pods, and yes, even pet rocks. Today in the Internet/Blogging arena, innovation has shifted to a global concept of ad campaigns and marketing strategies. A major marketing problem in the 21st century is “Invisible Constraints.” They can be as small as business meetings that start first thing on a Monday morning, to huge emotional barriers that prevent people from taking small steps to financial success.
Have you ever been around a circus or zoo and seen a huge elephant tied down to a very small stake. This is a great analogy of the invisible constraint problem. When the elephants are small they try to pull out of the stake and they fail. The attempts to get free are very painful to the small animals and when they get large, they never try to pull out of the stake again. This parallels the Internet marketing problem of limiting ourselves by what we have been in the past, instead of going for what we are capable of achieving. Like the elephant, which is anchored down and thinks it is impossible to be free, humans are also affected by such invisible constraints. They become emotional barriers that prevent us from being innovative in our blog marketing. This problem looks like an “Elephantal Constraint”, but action can be taken to overcome this dilemma.
Determine if there are any invisible barriers that cannot be crossed. Then take action to cross them. Break away from the invisible ropes and stakes. Do it! Get rid of those mental barriers. Crush those huge elephantal constraints. As they are destroyed we will begin destroying any physical constraints to our blog marketing success, like lack of capacity or lack of sales. We were created for success! Remember, our thoughts create our life.
In the world of blogging marketing, it is frequently the little things that kill momentum, hinder achieving goals, or impeding home-based business growth. Having a limited business mindset is not a small thing and is one of the most destructive problems to marketing success. By limited mindset we are talking about the issue of listening to the wrong people.
There are so many gurus, so many magic buttons, so many perfect programs and so many marketing strategies, all designed to make everyone instant millionaires. In most cases the only one getting rich is the creator of the “program” itself. It is amazing the testimonies of blogging marketers who are making astronomical sums of money from these programs and when closely examined, they spend almost as much (on marketing) as they earn. Thank goodness there are tried and true courses and programs like IIP that can help blogging marketers and other Internet business owners meet with real financial success. Mindset is ninety percent of the equation for success in every area of life. The limited mindset will wreck havoc with business success.
Individuals who listen to the wrong people will spin their wheels with “false efficiencies” and not target real success. Hours will be wasted in front of a computer but only a small fraction of capabilities will be achieved. The marketer will get stuck dealing with the same problems over and over again holding him/her back from making any real progress. I have watched these scenarios take place time and again because the business mindset has not been established.
Rectifying the limited mindset is not difficult for most aspiring business entrepreneurs. The answer is to get rid of the “stinking thinking” and actions that cause the blogger to do the same things over and over again and not meet with success. There are good CD’s and books on the business mindset. The Internet is loaded with articles and materials that can help the limited mindset problem. I am blessed, as my employer for about eight years, my daughter, is so gifted in this area of helping people. Her book, “When You Can Walk on Water, Why Take The Boat”, as well as other motivational material turned me and many thousands of others around. I encourage you to win the battle of the mindset, and you too, can walk on the water of success.
