A New Week Is About to Begin

Sep 9, 2007

The weekend is about over. Pity. I’ve finally gotten off my ass and done some things for my own business. For the past year, I was working so hard for Tellman that I just wanted to take some time off on the weekends, you know? I’ll now call the past year my “intensive training” period.

If I could begin to tell you how much I’ve learned over the past year, it would take me hours just to figure it all out. I really thought that when I started with OE last year that I knew a lot, that I was a veteran because I’d been around for three years. Oh, granted, I’m a good tech person and I did know some stuff, but after three years, I had just begun scratching the surface of marketing. It’s huge!

The funny thing is that now that I know so much more, I feel as if I don’t know ANYTHING. I mean, there’s just so much to learn and every day brings a new education about this, that or the other thing. Internet marketing is truly an adventure, and I don’t think it’s possible to know everything about it. I mean, you can be a Mark Joyner or someone like him and know just about everything, but I’ll bet there’s things I know that Mr. Joyner doesn’t. For instance, I wonder if he can take a blog template and totally customize it so that it looks nothing like it did when you started.

Probably. I really do think he knows everything. :-)

But my point is…

You don’t have to know everything. You need to constantly be learning and growing, but if you try to learn too much at once, you’ll just explode! You’ll get so hyper-confused that you’ll just shut down and not learn anything at all. So, stop buying stuff because you just heard that it’s the latest, greatest thing online. Don’t do that to yourself!

When you learn enough to know who the players are, it’s time to concentrate on one “guru’s” philosophies. Just buy that person’s course and study it, and follow that person, until you’re ready to move on. The problem is that there’s just so much to learn that it can be incredibly overwhelming. Slow down. You don’t have to learn everything at once. I learned that from Tellman. It’s what he tells his coaching clients, and I can see how right that advice is.

Thank heaven. My brain’s working 24/7 now.

Gotta get a bigger brain.

  • I certainly don't know everything, but thanks for the very flattiner notion! Stop trying to know everything - start taking action on what you already know. If you're not doing so already (I'm sure Tellman might have advised you since his company does this), do your Daily Target Praxis (from Simpleology) every day.

    Are you sure, Mark? :-)

    I'm taking action, my friend, and yes, I do my Daily Target Praxis every single day.

    Actually, I've been part of Simpleology since it opened. What an awesome program! I'm almost through Simpleology 103 and every section of that program (101, 102, and 103) is just as great as the one before. Anyway, you're right. Tellman has Simpleology every day as a requirement for all of us, but I did it even before I was part of Overcome Everything.

    Anyone who isn't at least checking out Simpleology 101 should get to it!

    Thanks, Mark! Even if you don't know everything, you still rock--out loud.
