I've been a little delinquent in getting the newsletter out -
hope you don't forget about me. - Here is the reason I have
been delinquent - been babysitting my 6 month old twin
grandbabies while my son and his wife get through a difficult
time with their business and all the pressures of business
and 2 new babies. Take a look - you'll understand.

I posted this as the on-line issue a few days ago - but have had
some requests to send it out via e-mail as some of you have to
pay for your time on the internet - so here it is.

TAKING A SECOND LOOK
by
Sharon Lambkin
---------------------------------
OK - I admit - I'm tired.
I've read all the guru's instructions (by the way - what is the
job
description of a guru?) (What makes them a guru?)(Does guru's
mode of
operation make it right for everyone?)
Well we may all put our pants on one leg at a time and our socks
one
foot at a time, but that doesn't make them all look good when
they
are on. One may look neat - the other one sloppy.
The point I am making is everyone has their own talent and when
you
wrap your talent in someone elses wrapping - you don't look the
same.
We have entry level people coming on board every day trying to
operate
like a professional.
The level of frustration is very high and they feel like they are
brain
damaged and cannot learn. Remember that professionals did not get
to
be a professional over night.
They may be trying to sell you their product which they developed
over
a long period of time in a way which makes it look so simple that
"anyone"
can do it.
They cover over all the flaws in such a way that it would make
the brush
strokes that brush out the flaws on models look like childs play.
Everything that looks perfect has brush strokes on it. Why?
Perfection
sells. Everyone wants to be perfect - but perfect is not normal.
Everyone
would like to look like the models and everyone would like to be
as rich
as Bill Gates.
We all have flaws. Some can be brushed out with a little brush
and
some may need a big brush. You know I actually thought that
posting
all e-mail I get in my newsletter would be a deterrant to my
readers -
but it has worked the other way.
When I post an e-mail where someone has corrected me on something
has
made my readers have more faith in what I say because it is
believable.
I believe in being honest in all things. That way you don't have
to
remember all the promises you made that you can't keep.
Read all the testimonies on the web (the guru's say you have to
have
these) Who do you think is going to post a negative one?
It's alright to come on line and be "entry level."
Just start searching for a product which you can have faith in
and learn
the most responsible and believable way to promote it. Remember
there
are more "entry level" people out there looking for
products and
the know how to do it. Not everyone comes on board a
professional.
What makes us think that we can come on board, learn the
computer,
find a product, learn marketing skills and start pulling in
$20,000
per month. That is not realistic, so why do we beat ourselves up
over
it.
There are three levels of internet marketing.
Entry Level
Intermediate
Professional
Go back to basics - we learned to crawl before we could walk. We
learned to
walk before we could run, we learned to run before we could
sprint.
If you are "entry level" - be content in that until you
yourself
determine you should move up to Intermediate level - then be
content
with that until you yourself determine when you should move into
the
playing field of the Professional.
I know how hard it is to work for weeks on a new site, launch it
and
start marketing it. The first thing you do is start comparing
your
newfound knowledge with all the professionals with their fancy
coding,
flash work, fancy forms and right away draw back like a turtle
drawing
its head back into the shell.
Don't you realize that every day there are thousands and
thousands of
people just coming on board and getting their feet wet, they
would
love to fall into a site that they can relate to and not feel
overwhelmed
with all the bells and whistles.
We'll all get there - just not overnight. My husband and I have
been
in some form of sales for many, many - oooooh many - years and
you
see people trying to make themselves over to be like someone else
and
you will fall on your face. We all have a built in inner self -
and
the old saying of 'to thine own self be true" is never more
true than
in marketing.
Just because you buy a car that will go 150 miles an hour doesn't
mean you drive at 150 miles an hour every minute you are on the
road.
Slow down - take it at your own pace - stop and smell the roses.
Be your own person - not a carbon copy of someone you think is
more
successful. Stop and look in the mirror - there just may be
someone
looking at your journey trying to copy you. A copy of a copy of a
copy
gets weaker with each copy. Be original - go with that gut
feeling - it's
there for a reason.
