Copyright 2006 1stPromotion.comOne afternoon after going through a small backlog of
emails, I was daydreaming about how it shouldn't be tough
for absolutely anyone out there to make that first online
sale and then to go on and make more and more sales. I feel
bad for people that have paid money for some of the
programs out there that promise to "stuff their wallets
effortlessly" only to find that there is no free lunch. No
autopilot riches.
As I was daydreaming, I was watching a fly banging it's
head into the window trying to get out. That fly wanted to
get out of the confines of the house and get outside to
enjoy the early Ontario spring day. No matter how hard the
fly tried, or how hard it banged into the window, that fly
was trapped in the confines of our house.
The fly's desire to break free to a better world drove it
to the glass. Little by little that fly was beating the
life out of itself against my window. Futilely attempting
to break out of the world it was confined to.
No matter how hard it tried, there was no way that the fly
was going to break through the glass and obtain its dream.
After a while the fly stopped trying and just sat on the
window. Was it content to just look at the freedom it could
not achieve? Or was it stunned from the repeated beatings
that it put itself through to try and break free?
Without guidance, the fly was doomed to failure from the
get-go as it had selected a closed window and was pouring
all of it's efforts into getting through that closed window
even though we know it is impossible.
Here is the one small detail that will drive this point
home. Less than 3 feet away was another window, except that
one was open. That open window could lead that fly to its
dream and its freedom. With just a bit of assistance and
guidance, the fly was easily led to the open window and on
to pursue it's goal.
Well, this same situation holds true to most people's
dreams of finding success on the web, they are just like
that fly. Constantly banging their heads into dead-end
opportunities rather than flying free to building the
opportunity that allows them to achieve the freedom they
dream of.
But with a little bit of guidance and a helping-hand they
can be led to open windows.
