What You Can Learn From A Gen Y Internet Wise
As I was growing up the idea of reading disgusted me. Being a Gen Y, I’m regularly caught up by the latest technology and just craving the convenience of everything done immediately. Why read a book when a movie could tell you the identical story without the effort of having to use your brain? Take as an example The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. You can’t tell me that the book was a cut above than the movies. Then again, if I actually read the books, I might be able to a make a qualified view (Whoops). If you are bored and had 2 hours spare, playing a video game was certainly going to pass time a lot quicker than trying to read a book. Travelling on the train no longer was boring just staring at people once I got Super Mario Bros on the DS. Time flew and public transport rides to work actually enjoyable.
Nonetheless in hindsight, if I had my time again, I would probably heed my mom’s nagging and at her insistence, read. Why? Because knowledge is key to everything, especially when it comes to building business on the Internet. Without knowledge, you lack the understanding of the industry. You fail to pick up trends and in an moment you are behind all your competitors. Business on the Net requires aptitude and adaptability. If you don’t adapt to your existing environment, expect to fail. There has been so much that I have learnt over the past year in trying to do a business online. And without doubt, if I had my time again, I would change a lot around what I’ve been doing. It’s just that sometimes old habits die hard. You don’t realise the amount of time invested into the business equates essentially to another job. The less time you spend with your friends and family trying to make the business work and time just gets by you. Efficiency in your processes is another key to victory because success is not necessarily determined by revenue alone, though it is a big part. Time is the other key determinent to success. If you get to spend more time doing what you love whilst maintaining a sustainable income, that is success.
So basically I’ve started to take notice of emails that I’ve signed up to, showing me how to succeed. I’ve read more and more on the technology part of the newspaper to gain a better grasp of the industry I’m in. I read news article and testimony after testimony on the Internet to give me the edge on my rivals. And where has that got me? Well I believe the work and knowledge I have gained is starting to bear fruit and shape the way I look at society. I am currently on the first page of Google for the highly competitive key words free stuff. I intend to push that ranking to number 5 in the next 6 months. Is it possible? Oh yes, by taking the advice of others that have gone before me, I am able to mimic and expand on what has been done. Success is within my grasp, I can almost feel it. But in the meantime, I need to pick up the technology magazine subscription that’s sitting next to me and get reading!
