Pi is a printers term for when a job case full of individual letters used for setting up a page to be printed is spilled and all the a, e, i, o, u’s together with all the consonants both lower case and capital are mixed together. A frightful mess.
Internet marketing can be like that as well. There are a lot of ways to do internet marketing and a lot of individual pieces. Because internet marketing is not a single thing, but rather a system of multiple pieces put together in an ordered sequence.
What makes it most confusing for people is that there are a lot of different models you could follow. And many of the different models use some of the same parts, but none require that you use everything.
This causes confusion for people when they are trying to learn the business. They are often tempted to buy a product for a part that they don’t really need, or maybe will need, but not until they have mastered another part of the puzzle they may not even be aware of yet.
My family likes puzzles and we got three new ones for Christmas, all of which were 500 piece puzzles from the same maker and very similar in the way the pieces were cut.
Unfortunately, while everyone was busy visiting my grand daughter dumped the contents of all three puzzles on the floor creating puzzle piece pi. If putting one of the puzzles together was challenging, imagine how challenging it was to do three at once.
We tried to create borders to frame the puzzle, but pieces from puzzle A seemed to fit with pieces from Puzzle B and C. It was a real nightmare.
Eventually over a week, the dinning room table, the kitchen table and a dresser top, we were able to get it done, but it took much longer than it should have.
My guess is that same thing is happening with your internet marketing education. You are spending time leaning stuff you don’t need right now, trying to get it pieced together with a different strategy you think will work for you in the long run.
Why do I think that, because that’s what happened to me. I bought a ton of stuff, and found myself going in a half dozen different directions. It wasn’t until I accidentally ran into Doug Champigny at the right time. He was putting together a mentoring group he called Team Champigny. That was a little over 15 months ago.
It’s made all the difference in the world to me. Before I was spending more than I was making online. I lost a small fortune trying to make pay per click work for me. My only understanding of one time offers, was that I hated them because I kept buying them. I had no idea how to connect the dots.
I’ve broken through many barriers since then, learned to create my own products, learned how to promote other peoples products, built a list and much more.
Now I’m not where I want to be yet, this is an ongoing journey and always will be for me, and for you if you are going to be truly successful. After all success is in the journey. But if you are going to step up and start that journey, you really and truly need to have a solid coherent game plan.
Next month, my mentor and friend Doug Champigny is starting a new professional internet coaching sequence, a 4 week high intensity power-start.
Now Doug is definitely a high intensity fellow, so be aware that you will need to be prepared to take action. But if you are, if you really want to break through and make this internet thing a source of wealth for you and your family, then you owe it to yourself to grab this opportunity. If on the other hand, you are looking for someone to molly coddle you forward, and hand you wealth on a silver platter, save your money.
When Doug say high intensity he means it. And if you are up to the challenge, you will succeed a lot faster and go a lot further if only because you will be putting together one puzzle, and better yet a puzzle that has all the pieces you need, if you know what I mean.
Doug has made a real difference in my life and he will yours as well.
