Internet Marketers, Are You Embarrassed?

I have received an email from Dan Kennedy last week and find the article in the email very interesting. 

 After getting permission from Dan, I will share with you here.

The title of the email is: Successful Marketing Strategies: Are You Embarrassed?
Here’s the story:

“Are You Embarrassed?

In your last Success Marketing Strategy email I switched gears and started talking about regulating our own personal behavior.  This brings me to a great question:

Should You Be Embarrassed?

Gold/VIP Member Jason Juiliano made well over $10,000.00 a month from his information marketing businesses – while going to college full-time. At 20 years old.
 
(In my opinion, wisely, he did his best to keep his mouth closed in his college business classes, as professors and outside lecturers who’ve themselves failed in the real
business world and retreated to the safe ivy halls blather on cluelessly.)

You might wonder – is the kid some kind of genius? No. He is not. He had three things going for him, none of which are that difficult to emulate: one, he is quick.

Although he only worked three or four hours a day on his business, he gets very high grades of implementation. He gets things done.  Second, he pays attention. He finds
what works and uses it with as little modification as possible.  Third, he thinks big. He expects big things of himself and demands appropriate behavior from himself.

Around me, the whiners, with the 512 reasons they cannot do well in today’s economy or in their businesses or in their lives. Well, if a 20 year old kid can figure out how
to make a 6-figure income part-time, you ought to outright be ashamed to be doing any less. Obviously you ought to be embarrassed not to be trumping him by a multiple.

One of the tremendous points of leverage for behavioral change we’ve been erasing from society is “shame.”  
People on food stamps aren’t ashamed about it.  Obese people aren’t ashamed; they sue McDonalds. Pro athletes whose teams suck or who get caught gulping steroids aren’t
ashamed. 

One day on Dr. Phil, there was a young couple fighting; she, grossly overspending, an out of control shopaholic badly in need of a spanking. But the gripe she had about
hubby was 100% legit: he had a mechanic’s job, brought home a small paycheck, and was blatantly unconcerned, unembarrassed, unashamed about its size, uninterested in
doing anything to replace it with a bigger one. Nothing shameful about being poor. Shameful to stay poor, in America. 

Similarly, when a business owner is asked “How’s business?’ and he says “No good”, I think he ought to be ashamed of himself. Embarrassed.

When I wasn’t doing well, I was horribly embarrassed. It motivated me, because I hated being embarrassed.  I still hate it. I truly hate not doing well, at anything.

What I see around me is too many people who are too accepting of what should be humiliating, making them miserable, angry and proactive. It seems obvious to me
that the business owner who can’t eat or pee in peace without answering his cellphone….the doctor who can’t do good marketing “because his staff doesn’t like it”….the
financial advisor or plumber not getting a ton of referrals….the salesman not making 6-figures or more….ought to be embarrassed. ”

Are you embarrassed?

If you are, DO something to your life now.  As this is just the beginning of the new year, there is no better time to start than NOW!

I am embarrassed that i did not attain the income that i want from marketing online. I am more determined that ever to DO something to change my course forever.

Thanks to this message from Dan Kennedy, i am more motivated than before.
