Are you creating your own Grand Canyon?
By jopeck | August 14, 2007
Have you ever seen the Grand Canyon in Arizona? Have you been there? Were you stunned by the sheer magnitude of this geological feature? How the colors change as the sun moves during the day… each change more beautiful and wonderous than the last?
I know I was. I went there when I was about 8 years old and to this day, I still remember my first impression of the place. More than anything else, it reconfirmed my belief that there was a God. There had to be… no one else could have created something that fantastic and on that scale.
Then during my geography classes in Secondary school, I learnt how the canyon was really created. A river ran through a plain a long long time ago… and over time, it carried off soil, rocks and anything else that it could manage. After years, decades, centuries even… the canyon would be created as enough material is carried away. Not in straight line but it curves and winds its way through the stream bed it has carved out.
This kind of reminds me of how I started out as an internet marketer. I knew nothing of the hows or the whys of what I was doing. Wandering through the various methods I was taught (in Success University), I looked for what I would be comfortable with. Methods that I could be confident would work for me.
It took time but slowly, I learnt and developed methods that worked for me. Whenever I hit more difficult areas, I adjusted my ‘route’ or methods til I found something that did work… at least for me.
So although my training materials show me straight routes, my learning curve meanders and discovers new things along the way. Its good to know that nothing is really set in stone!
Over time, I expect to find myself carving a deep ’stream’ bed that will stand the test of time. And who knows, in the years to come, some new internet marketer may come across my websites and say, “Wow! I wish I could reach her level.”
Are you carving out your own Grand Canyon? every little bit will help!
