Are You Looking For Real Success? Give Of Yourself... First!


Greetings!

You and I have heard it said before, "Success comes with a price". In marketing, that "age-old" statement rings true.

If you want loyalty you must remember, building lasting relationships take time. Anything worth anything begins first with the planting of a tiny seed.

Once you have planted that seed in good soil you must nurture (support, encourage, cherish) it. You need to watch (protect, observe, tend to) over that seed carefully, regularly watering (replenish, fortify, defend, strengthen) and keep it fed.

Ultimately that seed will flourish into a big, beautiful, robust tree with roots deeply planted, (firm foundation) and many far-reaching branches (your eBusiness network).

Just like the mighty oak, your seedling will become a never-ending resource for shade (protection) and nourishment (food, encouragement, prosperity, friendship, respect and ultimate success).

One of the best ways to begin a worthy relationship is to offer your new acquaintance a gift.

Now, let's apply this practice to your e-business.

If you have read my work carefully you would already know that I am a strong advocate of gifting right from the start.

I am always sure to give away my times, my resources, my teaching and even my money, too.

What do you think happens when you present a gift to someone? How do you think the human mind reacts to this behavior? The human feels the need to return the favor, or at least appreciate the intention. Immediate gifting also helps drop the wall that most often exists within new relationships.

Let's face it; trust takes time. You and I both know as eBusiness owners that time means money. So you see the quickest way of building your income stream is to earn your prospects trust as early as possible.

"The way to a prospects pocketbook is by way of their heart."

With that said, please allow me to say this, "NEVER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANOTHER PERSON... EVER!" Just because he or she or they trusts you, does not mean you have Carte' Blanche over the finances. Only offer each prospect the very best product(s) or service(s).

Make your offering tried and true and NEVER over promise and under deliver. To ever walk down this path will lead all of your hard work, effort and your integrity into a place a sheer darkness.

If you want loyalty, be loyal yourself!

And, be loyal... first!

And remember, if you want to be successful... always be the first to give!

Happy Marketing!

Wishing you great blessings and prosperity always,

Tony
