INACTION; COREY RUDL’S (1970-2005) WORST FEAR?
To most of us who had spent the last few years and countless amounts of money on the internet trying to get techie (proficient) in the fields of “internet marketing and affiliate programs”, we can definitely say that the name ‘Corey Rudl’ was one name amongst several that came up many a times as one of the greatest internet marketers of all time.
Corey at a young age got deeply curious about internet marketing which made him set up his firm ‘Internet Marketing Center’ in 2001 ; he published the most comprehensive course on internet marketing ever,known as the “Insider’s secrets to marketing your business on the internet”-
http://www.marketingtips.com/t.cgi/1432121; this series, became the world's-acclaimed bestseller and went on to furnish so many ordinary folks with true knowledge of internet marketing that made them extremely wealthy in a very short time; Corey himself is said to have made over $40 Million in the very few years after the commencement of his business.
Unfortunately, in June 2005,Corey lost his most impressive and exciting life in a tragic automobile accident, creating endless ripples of publicity in the media, both offline and online; it was a that time, that we were made to understand from his best friend and partner, Derek Gehl, that the late 34 year old man’s worst fear during his internet marketing lifetime, was, that after taking great effort to produce such fool-proof knowledge in the most easy-to-assimilate formats and making it available to his would-be successful internet marketing clients; definitely, a great multitude will get quite successful (testimonies abound worldwide) and Corey prided himself on hundreds of these testimonies from such clients , yet, despite all this, he greatly feared that many of his clients may spend that much money to buy his courses, read and assimilate it but may not take ‘action’ on what they have learnt.
Many of us are guilty of this ‘in-action’ flaw; I myself have nursed several patent worthy idea for ages only to wake up from my dreams when someone else has put it into action; it is then that we go back into our shells barraging ourselves for being the 'no-action' dreamer; if you dreamt of being the best fly-fisher of all time, personally mentoring with six of the best fly fishers in the world via seminars, trainings, email newsletters, books, videos, satellite TV, conference calling etc, but never really got to putting what you were taught into practice, example: First, leaving your house, camouflaging your clothing, finding the right fishing spots, the precise rod, the appropriate bait etc – maybe the world would be missing the best fly-fisher of all time in you.
As we have all heard over and over again “readers are leaders”, “knowledge is wealth” , “the most successful people are those who read”; Yes , all that is true , every single word of it- but, one ingredient that we must always strive to add to this assimilation of knowledge, in order to make it effective in our lives is to take ‘Action’ on whatever worthy thing we have learnt, it is only then that such knowledge can ever be meaningful.
In this field of internet marketing and affiliate programs, there is very little we can accomplish without ‘action’: finding your niche market, getting the hot keywords, finding the right affiliate products/programs, building your website, announcing/promoting your site to the entire web via various strategies, partaking in discussion forums, building your opt-in list etc ; all these and all the other steps will need ‘action’ on a day to day basis- but the resultant financial gains will be considerable in a very short time while the effort will reduce.
It is now left for us to resolve in our mind as of this moment to make ‘Action’ our key friend and ally if we are really going to make profitable our adventure in business in this cyber world of ours.
