The Importance of Fundementals

This weekend I am going to a seminar to which I have been going monthly since 2007. Generally on the last weekend of the month Yorgoo holds a two day seminar on various topics on internet marketing. I go each month to the Sunday session. Since the end of 2007 the seminars have been building one on another around the general area of harvesting traffic from Google rankings through blogging. Starting next month the theme will change to getting back to strengthening our basic skills and strategies.

I enjoy the seminars very much. It is a nice mix between fundementals and hands on application. That is why they generally limit participation to 20-25 people, so that nobody will be left behind.

Personally, in general, my focus in my online business is on the fundamentals, I believe that this is way to build yourself up. I spent too many years racing after the fast money, and I got burnt quite badly. Also my own personal financial problem is more dependant on the long term solution than the short term solution, and since I have become crystal clear that the short term solution is really, really short, I prefer to bide my time and understand what I am doing, and to build little by little.

Speaking About Fundamentals

I subscribe to many email lists from the gurus and the up-and-coming gurus. I enjoy learning from them, both from their example, and also sometimes from their content. Additionally I don’t mind them selling to me, because I am not averse to spending seven or ten dollars for sincerely good content. “Invest in Your Financial Education”, that is my motto. And I buy, and often I buy with resale rights to recoup my “investment” and for the sake others who are important to me.

You see, I spent too many years and too many dollars following after those who say “do exactly this and do exactly that, and you will become a millionaire like me”. Usually there is something missing that makes it work for them and not for me, and I have come to the conclusion that one of the main differences between me and them is that they have established their authority in the marketplace and generated a following, and I haven’t.

So my plan of action is to learn the basic skills in many many areas, and apply them in practice, to develop my own expertise.

I must have bought tens of quality content-full educational products for myself, each one was another rung in my ladder toward my goal of internet greatness. I have started to organize those that I bought with resale rights on a simple page (so far) so that others who feel like I do can also benefit from quality content to forward their growth.
