I have this great idea for a new digital product, and I’m sure I can make a killing selling my product on Internet.

It’s so simple, and the best part is that it will take less than a day to finish the product, and probably another day to build the sale pages.

Great!

I ran out of time yesterday, but I’m starting now…

I’ll start in a minute, but first I have to check my email.
After all, it could very well be an important message for me there. You never know.

Let’s see…all the usual Spam, I’ll just delete those.
Or perhaps it’s best to have a quick look at them; the Spam filter might have made a mistake and erroneously sorted a couple of messages as Spam when I really want to read them.

Hmmm. 257 Spam’s, and yes, three of the Spam’s are in fact about free software that I wanted to have a closer look at.
I’m deleting the rest of the Spam’s, …there…all gone except the three free offers.

Perhaps I should check them out while I’m still in the mailbox.
I always try to focus on the important things, and of course it saves time reading the free offers emails while I am logged into my mail account.

Time is a very fragile commodity, and I’m really focused on saving time so I can get to the important part of my business.

Selling digital products on Internet.

The problem is - I have to find something to sell while I’m working on this great idea for a unique product.

Right.

Let’s see…the free software products that my mail system erroneously marked as Spam.

I’m going to speed-read those three emails so I can get on with the real work.

Oh-oh! Hmmm.
That offer in email number two looks interesting. Not really free, but near enough, and something I can easily sell while I’m working on my great unique product.

I’m going to have a quick look at that webpage.

All right!  I could easily have missed that offer, I’m paying by PayPal nowww, and there is the download page. Perfect!

Downloading now. On my harddisk I have a lot of stuff I can sell, and there, downloading completed. Another great deal!

You can see that I am very good at this; focusing on the important bits, and at the same time saving time.

Super!

Back to the product creation.
Damn! I didn’t realize that I had used so much time in the email department.

It’s time to relax a little, so perhaps I should watch a movie on my DVD before going to bed.

And in the morning: Up bright and early, and starting on that great product idea.

After reading my email, of course.

Your business, your success are like big steel balls.

Imagine there’s a big steel ball, it’s as big as you, and it’s incredibly heavy. It’s so heavy that it won’t roll on the slightly uneven ground underneath it. It’s just completely stuck.

Most people give up and walk away. They’re the 98 per centers who will forever be the employees, the worker bees that our society needs, and they will never do anything “great” with their lives.

The other 2 percent try to push the ball anyway.
Success depends on it.

It won’t move. It just will not budge.

But you keep at it regardless.

Pushing, sweating, straining, and suddenly, it gives just a little and rocks back into place.
Now you’ve seen it move, you’ve had your first success, so you strain against it again, pushing, pushing, and eventually it rocks again and you push harder and it starts to move.

Gradually, the huge steel ball that’s your business starts to move.
Now that it’s moving, it’s easier to keep it going, but it’s still taking a lot of work. But you keep at it relentlessly, because you’ve seen that you can do it.

As the ball picks up speed, it’s now easier to keep it moving, and it starts to go faster and faster.
Now it’s moving as fast as you can walk, and all you need to do is give it a slight tap now and then to keep it on track.

Eventually, you have to run to keep up. The steel ball is off on its own.
It doesn’t need you anymore, because along the way, other people (employees, contractors, etc.) have joined in, and they’re pushing your steel ball for you.

It’s still your steel ball; it’s just not your responsibility any more. And you have the freedom to go do whatever you like with your life, knowing the steel ball is being well looked after by other people.
That’s your goal, that’s what you’ll achieve, just by being relentless and not giving in at the first resistance.

So give your ball one more push; eventually it *will* move!
