You Can Be ‘Right’ Or You Can Be ‘Rich’

You can be ‘Right’ or you can be ‘Rich’.  How true!

This phrase is originally coined by T. Harv Eker but i have just experience it first hand.  

I write this post immediately afer lunch today and wanted to share with you an encounter i have with a friend during lunch, which help me to realize the reality of this phrase.

Over lunch, we are talking about Search Engine Optimizaton (SEO). 

I told him that as an internet  marketer or businessman, i would like to have my webpage indexed in google search for all the relevant keywords for the product that i am promoting on the webpage.  The position of the indexed link on the page is not important as long as it is on the first page.

He shocked me by telling me in the face that i should focus on getting the indexed link featured on the first positon on the frist page instead.

To me, that make no business sense as i know that as long as my indexed link is featured on the first page of a google search for as many of the relevant keywords as possible, then i have a very good chance to get targetted traffic to my site. 

I am looking from the business or traffic point of view. 

For him, he is looking more at the ego side where he want his page to raked NUMBER ONE on the first page of a google search.

That make no sense to me as it takes some effort to do that and it does not translate to more traffics and money for me and my business with the extra SEO effort to make it happen.

We have a slight arguement and finally i am subdue into listening to what he said as i realized that we have different perpective in doing thing and our pschology is different.

I am looking in the practical way where i can spent less time and get the most traffics which can translate to more sales for me.

He is looking to satisfy his ego to make his page rank NUMBER ONE on the first page of a google search.

Hmm… finally i have experience first hand the truth about this phrase by T. Harv Eker, “You Can Be ‘Right’ Or You Can Be ‘Rich’”

I choose the later while my friend choose the former.

I would rather put my ‘Right’ aside and swallow my pride (if any) and work toward getting rich. 

That’s why i am always eager to learn from those who have make more money than me, people like T. Harv Eker, Ewen Chia, Jo Han Mok…..

However, i will not feel inferior to them as i know …. there is no difference between us.  If they can DO IT, I CAN DO IT as well.  It is just a matter adopting the right mindset, strategy and taking action.

I wish myself every success!  I also wish YOU every success!
