Procrastinating? Take The Plunge Now

Posted by TheMarketMaker On June - 7 - 2009
I love this video. It is beautifully shot and gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. I also watch this video and others like it (sports vids mainly – www.youreportsport.com is cool) because it is a great metaphor for making money, not just on the web but in business generally. Sports stars, especially extreme sports guys, have to believe totally in their ability to be able to perform. A mistake by an extreme sports star could mean death or disability so they have to believe. How do they get that belief?

They get the confidence in their skills by making mistakes, by getting injuries practicing and learning from their mistakes, but each time getting back on the diving board at the cliff edge or the bike or the skis or whatever their sport is and practicing harder, until they get it right.

I started a business in the mid nineties and was told that no one would be interested. The establishment in that sector said it was a ‘waste of time’ and I did not ’stand a chance’. Three years later the business was making a few million a year.

There are plenty of people on the web and off the web who are saying the same thing about the various projects I am working on now but I just keep watching my vids and knowing that Napoleon Hill was right:

“What ever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve”

If you are looking to take the plunge on the web, do yourself a favour, just do it. The ebook I wrote is my contribution to you getting started, creating a blog and following your desire to build a business.

I will be letting you know our projects, how they are doing and how you can get involved and I can guarantee you two things; One, I will make some monumental mistakes and two I will be successful. Have belief in yourself and get started, you won’t regret it.

About Me

My name is David, I am very happily married and have one step son. We moved to Switzerland 4 years ago as we love the country, it is a hub of entrepreneurship, the people are fabulous and the skiing is not bad either!

This blog is about passing on some of the strategies I have learned in 20 years as an entrepreneur, from running a commodities operation producing $300mn per year of business to the challenges of owning a small hotel on a tiny Caribbean island and many businesses inbetween.

Others coaches are excellent at reading books and distilling the content for you, that is great if that is what you are looking for. I give you practical advice through my own successes and mistakes. I hope you find the blog useful.
