Internet Business and Personal Success

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our day to day routine, that we forget what we are trying to accomplish online. Whether it’s the BIG things like your Dreams and Goals, or the more immediately important “smaller” things like how you carry out your business.

I’ve recently been reminded that there are influential people in the internet business/marketing space, that conduct themselves in a way that is simply disgusting to me. This got me thinking about how I want to conduct business, and how to avoid following such people in the future. What I’ve come to realize is that it’s way too easy to be seduced by the money, and apparent success of individuals who I don’t want to BE LIKE.

Since there are kind, generous and highly successful people we can model, why not learn from them? More often than not, their products and services will be much better, they will have great customer service, and may even be personally reachable.

Of course, a winner for one person may not be for another, and you may not even realize at first that you’ve jumped on the wrong horse… I’ve been doing a recent purge of those who I have no interest in being like, and it feels great. Conversely, I’ve rediscovered some truly inspiring gems which also feels great!

I already wrote about one such diamond, Fred Black, who has great ideas, content and products.

A great way to find your own gems is to follow the “blogrolls” of blogs that you admire. These will lead you to places you otherwise may never know about. Mine will be updated over time, so you can peak over my shoulder should you be interested.

Another great way to find like-minded people is through membership site forums. Yes, I know forums often have a bad reputation due to the free-for-all mentality involved. Often it’s deserved. But the forums behind great paid membership sites can be pure gold in many ways that I will talk about, and even show you, soon.

For now, suffice it to say, my highest recommendation goes to Earn1KaDay and the Rich Jerks membership sites. No, Rich Jerks has nothing to do with “The Rich Jerk”, it’s just a rather unfortunate name that was chosen at the time. These two sites, and their forums, have been more helpful to me than all the free forums combined.
