Have Your Broken Your 4 Minute Mile? Making Your First Dollar Online
Hello All....
Just read something about Roger Bannister and thought I would share my thoughts about how he relates to internet marketing.
Roger Bannister was an ordinary man. He was just like you and I. But he shattered a wall that had been standing for quite some time: being able to run a mile in under 4 minutes (stay with me, I'll bring it back to IM soon).
The four minute mile was a barrier that no one seemed to be able to break. People began to believe that it just wasn't possible for a human being to accomplish the task. People tried year after year with no success.
On May 6th, 1954, in a cool evening in Oxford, England, Roger Bannister shocked the world by running the mile is 3 minutes 59.4 seconds.
"But what does this have to do with internet marketing?" you may be asking yourself.
The general consensus among society was that it was impossible for a human being to break the 4 minute mile barrier. And no did.
But Bannister believed that he could. And he did. But here's where it gets interesting.
Although people had been trying to beat the 4 minute mile unsuccessfully for many years, once Roger Bannister showed that it could be done, that it was humanly possible, then it changed the perception of what was possible.
46 days later someone else also broke the 4 minute mile. And since, thousands of been able to break through the wall that was once thought of as "impossible."
The point is: humans had the ability to break the 4 minute mile all along, they just didn't believe that they could.
And this is how it is with making that first $1 with internet marketing. On the surface, it's just a dollar and has very little monetary value. But the value that it has on your psyche is immense.
For many, making money online is just a fantasy. A daydream that sounds nice. But it's unattainable. It's making that first dollar that makes it real.
For newbies, generating that first $1 is their 4 minute mile. There first goal should be to break through that barrier and earn that first dollar. Everything starts from there. Once your mind believes that making money online is possible, then, and only then, will it happen.
Keep taking action, guys. You'll get there. Don't give. If you haven't broken your 4 minute mile barrier yet, go do it. Prove to yourself that this is real and possible.
