Who Was First? – Business Acumen Exerpt Originally by Kevin Lam
Here’s a particularly deep secret hardly any web masters are ready to share or actually mention without a fee. Part of the rationalizations to their success is that they were among the first to start it all. If you’ll remember hearing,’first come, first serve’ it is the same way on the internet.
People generally remember who was first, not 2nd. For instance, who was first to sell books online? Amazon ; who was second? Who was the first to start mass production cars? Ford ; who was second? Which company was first to start the fast-food chain restaurant? McDonalds ; who was second? Who was first to build an airplane? The Wright brothers ; who was second?
Did you at any point spot the crickets when I asked for the second provider?
We all have a tendency to remember who was first but barely do we remember too much further than that. Whomever enters the market first usually makes the most important impression. The majority of our web gurus are extremely wealthy because they were first to present their products. Is that fair? Well, from their standpoint, naturally it is. But from ours, it’s not very fascinating.
Now you are thinking that you have to be first at something to become rich but you do not know what to be first at ; so, you suspect it is not possible. Take it easy, my chum. There are techniques around it. Let me ask you a question. Who owns money?
Did you try saying Bill Gates? Did you try saying Donald Trump? Did you even try announcing George Bush? It doesn’t matter WHO you claim to own money, you are wrong. No one owns money. Bill Gates has money, Donald Trump has money, George Bush has money and YOU have money but nobody will ever own it.
Though cash is man-made it is very like nature. Nobody owns it. Nobody owns the weather we feel, nobody owns the water we drink, nobody owns the air we breathe and so on .
‘Oh, but folk own land!’
Do we really?
My point is this, money belongs to no one so don’t think you can’t become as wealthy as any other guru you know of. And notice that I never once said being first mechanically makes you rich. That isn’t always the case and that’s why I say the 1st will make the most important impression.
If wealth was made for only those that were 1st in line, then there would be no such thing as a line. They might benefit before us but it doesn’t mean we can’t benefit anything.
