NOTE: Today’s show was originally recorded as a video, but I encountered horrible sync issues. No matter, I look better in audio anyway. I’m including the video, but I’ll warn you – it will drive you crazy!
I don’t know if there’s any statistical accuracy to it or not, but I recently heard an Internet marketer claim that about 2% of the buyers of info products (i.e. Internet marketing training courses) actually take any action based on the course.
Think of it.
If we all took action on the stuff we’re reading, watching, and listening to – well, human productivity would sky-rocket. The world wouldn’t know what to do with itself.
Which may explain why most people don’t achieve more success. It also explains the power of Mark Amtower‘s message (both a speech and a little book about the speech, both bearing the same name), “Why epiphanies never occur to couch potatoes.”
Reading, watching and listening are easy. Passive.
Getting up off the couch. Doing something meaningful. Active.
And obviously, for many, quite difficult.
Today is the day after Thanksgiving here in the U.S. It’s a day full of action, mostly centered around crazed crowds falling for the lure of false bargains. I was wondering yesterday…how much must a person devalue their time to spend 2 days and 2 nights in the parking lot of a Best Buy to purchase a TV for $186? You do the math.
This appeared on Facebook yesterday afternoon. I thought it was appropriate…and correct. Yes, I “liked” it.
Stuff. Things. Content. Instruction.
Nothing inherently wrong with any of them. But without action, none of them will help you figure things out, or get things done!
It’s time to incorporate a new philosophy into life. Every 5-year-old already knows this. And does it.
When all is said and done, more is done than said.
