Today I was minding my own business and doing some research for a new niche… just research honest ;-).
And I found 2 great points that I just had to share because they are so powerful.
/////////////////////////
“First of all, I’d argue that it is not always fear that hinders men from approaching women. Rather, I’d say its laziness. Sir Isaac Newton had a theory, and that theory went something like this:
“Objects in motion stay in motion. Objects at rest, stay at rest.”
When you’re not approaching someone with the intent of befriending them or picking them up, even when you WANT to, you are in a state of “rest.” This is a state where you’ve established what I like to call a “comfort zone.”
This is a place where you feel safe.
Secure.
Comfortable.
In this zone, you know what to expect, and therefore don’t have to worry about feeling afraid. And more often than not, you won’t want to leave your comfort zone, because approaching someone introduces the prospect of uncertainty into your life. It takes EFFORT to get out of your comfort zone, and most of the time, people prefer to be lazy and stay comfortable, rather than do the work it takes to meet their goals.
This comfort zone can be the bane of your social existence. And this is the first barrier you have to…”

Overcome if you want to succeed in the internet marketing.
I love how the author explains it with ‘constant motion’ and comfort zones.
It’s the same with your business… unless you are constantly pushing the boundaries you are not in constant motion (and I don’t count treading water as constant motion 
) and soon you will be stuck in your ‘comfort zone’
Think about it… it was a light bulb moment for me because for the last week and a bit I have been working like a mad man on my passion… creating and marketing products and I am LOVING it. But new challenges are hitting me everyday and it’s great because I’m growing again.
Ok 2nd point.
The art of storytelling…. this is so powerful.

Example: I woke up this morning and ate a bowl of cereal.
Boring story, huh? Now try telling it with Confidence, Conviction, and Energy, and see what happens.
Example: Man, I woke up this morning soooooo hungry! My alarm clock didn’t go off, so I must have slept until noon, which is really, really late for me, but I was up all night watching a James Bond Marathon on TBS.
So when I went to get something to eat, I found out my roommate had eaten all the cereal, and there was nothing left to eat in my place because we only have week-old Chinese food leftovers in the fridge (don’t ask me why).
So I went to my neighbor next door, and I guess she likes to sleep in late too because when she opened the door she was wearing this really skimpy nightgown! When I asked her if I could borrow some cereal, she totally thought it was a lame pick-up line or something and started coming onto me!
Now, usually I’d be into it because my neighbor is an incredibly beautiful woman, but the thing is, I was so hungry I couldn’t think straight! So here’s this beautiful, scantily clad woman coming onto me, and all I can think about is Captain Crunch! Unbelievable, right?
The thing is, though, she has a boyfriend and I don’t mess around with girls who are in relationships, so I told her “No, I really just want some cereal. I’m really hungry!” So she invites me in to have breakfast with her, so we’re sitting there, eating cereal, laughing about how she thought I came over to hit on her, when her boyfriend walks in and sees us sitting in our pajamas eating breakfast! He thinks we spent the night together and were having an affair!
So we try to explain what happened and he looks like he’s going to rip my throat out, so I go back to my apartment next door freaking out this guy’s going to come by with a gun or something. But it turns out my neighbor explained everything to him and we laugh about it all the time now, so everything’s cool. But that’s why I always keep extra cereal in my bedroom!
Hell of a difference, right?

LOL I love his ending… “But that’s why I always keep extra cereal in my bedroom”
Anyway… this ones simple… tell a story with passion and energy.
All the best for your online success.
