Efforts and Results
In my previous article, I mentioned that I was a firm believer in effort producing results. Like I also said before, little effort produced little results, and great effort produces great results. That is pretty much the case with a lot of things whether you’re a student who is in school or college, or a farmer cultivating his field. This isn’t just tied to those two fields.
As most of you know, I love games. Video games. I like the thrill of being able to play a car game, without worrying about denting or scratching it and having to pay off any damage costs. I love the thrill of being able to run free in a huge open space, drop a few bodies, and feel like I have achieved something great, especially when it is backed with certain objectives that you must complete in order to finish the mission.
In May of 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV was released. It was a time where gamers all over the world would line the streets at the closest video game shop just to get a copy. It was also a time of controversy (something that we all know goes along with the GTA franchise). GTA IV is one of my most favorite games on the Xbox 360. The graphics are sweet, and the story line is nothing but immersive. When I bought my copy, a friend of mine bought his the same day. Probably within a month, he finished the whole story line, and until this day, I have only completed 28% of the game, and it is now April of 2009. 11 months compared to 1. Its a bit of a shame. Just a bit?
Duplication
I just told you that I loved my gaming sessions. However I could have completed GTA IV in a month if I wanted to. Right? The only problem was, that I spent majority of the time running around and did not follow my objectives in order to finish the story line. Making money online does have the same principles. I mentioned before that there are people out there who make money while they sleep. You say, “Well hang on, isn’t that effortless?” Maybe. Stop to think though. These people who make money while they sleep probably do deserve to sleep. Why? Initially they wouldn’t have made that money doing absolutely nothing. They would have spent a bit of their time, or maybe more than a bit, to get where they are.
Systems are in place for all walks of life, just as you have certain directions you must follow to complete a game. Not many people like the word “system” when it comes to our lives being part of a system which we call the government. That is another issue for certainly another time far from now. Lets stay on the topic of this article. First of all, we have to ask ourselves, “Why must I follow a system? Can’t I make my own up?” Well you certainly can, and if you are willing to put a lot of hard work and effort, then by all means go ahead. I’m not stopping you and certainly no one else can. I am just hear to share my opinions are to why following a system can yield positive results, thus making life easier for us. Although i say “making life easier” I still want you to brand into your head, that just because something is easy, does not mean it does not require any effort. A lot of people who make a living on the internet have also written books/ebooks either for free or for a small price. Don’t let ignorance cloud your judgment and hinder you from actually taking the time to read something. Believe me, from my own experience, taking time to read something, especially when it’s information that you can benefit from in any way, can make a positive place in the way you live your life.
Systems are duplicatable. This means that by following a certain system, you can achieve results; results that you can look back on and see what you can improve on, what you need to do better, and what you don’t need to do. You repeat this cycle, learning from your previous observations, and hopefully the second time around you yield even better results.
So if you truly are determined and passionate about making money online, or even succeeding in your business and the industry that you work in, make sure you know that your business model must follow a system. This system can either be one you have constructed yourself, or follow a system that has already been made to cater for your goals. A system that has proven results due to duplication is saying something, and if it is success and great results that are staring you in the face, then follow that system.
