Recently I received an email from a renowned marketer. Boy was it a rant! I couldn't help but be pulled in and I could see the point of view that he was trying to put across. Ultimately, though, I can't avoid the fact that the rant was unproductive and didn't particularly help anyone make money. In fact, it probably just got a few people worked up.
What was the topic of the email about? Well, the marketer was complaining about forced continuity and the use of deceptive words in the email subject line of an email he got. He could have just unsubscribed from the list and moved on if he was unhappy at the deceptive tactics but instead he chose to send an email to his subscribers list about it. Is that productive? It certainly isn't!
The point it, grumbling never helped anyone get rich. You get rich by being productive! By taking action! Spending your time grumbling will not make you money. It will just spoil your mood. Do productive things. The way to make money is by focusing your time on marketing your business and creating brand new products that add value to the marketplace. Not grumbling!
Spend your time creating new traffic generation campaigns, optimize your current campaigns, interact at social networks, create brand new products to launch for the year ahead. All these are productive activities. Grumbling isn't one of them! Now get to work and stay frosty. I wish you a very productive year ahead in your home business.
Charles Schulz has always been one of my favorite cartoonists . In one scene ,Charlie Brown’s head is hanging and he’s slouching his shoulders . While frowning ,he explains to Linus that if you want to be depressed ,it’s important to stand in this posture . He goes on to explain that if he were to stand up straight , lift his head and shoulders ,and smile , he wouldn’t be able to remain depressed .
In the same way , a grouch can begin to feel better by recognizing the absurdity of a negative attitude . Ideally to cure yourself of this , you’ll want to experience a major insight – a feeling of I can’t believe I was really that way . In order to shift from grumble mode to a less serious nature , you’ll need to get a sense of humour – the ability to look back at the way you used to be , and chuckle . The world has become too serious . If you’re part of this sad trend ,it’s time to change . Life is really short . It’s too important to take so seriously .
