Who’s next? - Business Acumen Exerpt Originally by Kevin Lam
Here’s a particularly deep secret few Internet gurus are ready to share or actually say without a fee. Part of the rationalizations to their achievement is that they were among the first to start it all. If you’ll remember hearing,’first come, first serve’ it’s the same way on the web.
Folks generally remember who was first, not 2nd. For instance, who was the first to sell books online? Amazon ; who was second? Who was the first to start mass production cars? Ford ; who was second? Which company was the first to start the fast-food chain restaurant? McDonalds ; who was second? Who was the first to build an airplane? The Wright brothers ; who was second?
Did you at any time spot the crickets when I asked for the second provider?
We all tend to remember who was first but seldom do we remember too much further than that. Whomever enters the market first generally makes the largest impression. Most of our Internet pros are extremely wealthy because they were first to present their products. Is that fair? Well, from their viewpoint, of course it is. But from ours, it is not very fascinating.
Now you are thinking that you have to be first at something to become rich but you do not know what to be first at ; so, you believe it’s impossible. Take it straightforward, my chum. There are ways around it. Let me ask you a question. Who owns money?
Did you try asserting Bill Gates? Did you try exclaiming Donald Trump? Did you even try announcing George Bush? It doesn’t matter WHO you claim to possess money, you are wrong. No one owns money. Bill Gates has money, Donald Trump has money, George Bush has money and YOU have money but nobody will ever own it.
Though money is man-made it is very like nature. Nobody owns it. Nobody owns the weather we feel, nobody owns the water we drink, nobody owns the air we breathe and the like.
‘Oh, but folks own land!’
Do we really?
My point is this, money belongs to nobody so do not think you cannot become as wealthy as any other guru you know of. And notice that I never once related being first automatically makes you rich. That isn’t always the case and that is the reason why I say the 1st will make the most important impression.
If wealth was made for only those that were first in line, then there would be no such thing as a line. They might benefit before us but it does not mean we cannot benefit anything.
