You know the saying: Freedom isn’t free. Every philosophy is eventually tested in the Life School and will either stand or fall based on the work that goes into it. At least, that’s what I’ve been discovering. I’ve found that it’s not easy to motivate people unless you also give them the tools to motivate themselves.
What this means is that if you want to find investment partners, then you need to find a way to let people know you’re looking. In the jungle that is the Internet, it’s not the flashiest website that wins the day. It’s the one that converts the most visitors into prospects and then customers. Yes, the hour of my reckoning has come. It’s time for me to get off the marketing fence and stop hoping that people will just magically appear and want to be my partners. It’s time to find a system that will allow me to sort and sift and market with the best of them. Without that, I’ll just be subscribing to a wonderful philosophy that doesn’t help because it doesn’t get me the returns it’s capable of delivering. And that would be a crying shame.
Here I am on the Internet, trying to find investment partners by handing out a few business cards and making a post every once in a while to this blog. Ain’t gonna happen anytime soon. So the search begins for a permission marketing system that I can use and I can teach others to use. The search begins for a system that isn’t just a virtual machine where everybody’s a number. The search begins for a way to build relationships with people that will, at the very least, have some of them decide to become customers and some of them become partners. Now that’s a concept.
I’ll let you know what happens. It’s likely going to take some time and some dollars and some tweaking, but I’m on my way. Here’s to happy trails!
