When the time comes for a rich man to
cast off the mortal coil, a favoured relative may fall into a bed of monetary
clover and somewhere else someone may have used a magical skill to select the
correct National Lottery numbers. Both results could be beneficially life
changing.
Tongue in cheek, we should sympathise
with them because they have now probably achieved their ultimate goal in life
and there's little left but the pursuit of hedonistic pleasure. Just visualise
what dire consequences can transpire when a person is merely saddled with a
boring problem such as having to choose between using the Mercedes or the Rolls
Royce runabout to visit Aunt Mary.
So what do you and I do? We knuckle down
and get on with our pursuit of riches by more conventional means. I suggest
that today nothing can beat using internet marketing for online business.
Marketing public domain material makes for an excellent business opportunity.
Initially you should concentrate on getting your mindset in order and this is
where public domain works can prove of immense worth. The philosophical
teachings contained in publications such as 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon
Hill are both timeless and priceless. This book is just one of many best
sellers which are now in the public domain.
If you want riches you have to make
things happen and after deciding on a viable business strategy you need a
burning desire to set the cogs in motion. Desire is next only to Thought in the
quest for millions and is so important that it begs in depth analysis. Let us
look at some major motivational aspects.
Number 1. Need.
Here we might have a person drowning in debt and with no source of income;
their pride making any dependency on the Social Services out of the question.
The initial desire in this case should be to clear their debt and having done
that and learnt how to make money, only then to go to stage 2 which is to
acquire great wealth. This should ensure that a state of poverty never
re-occurs. The desire for ultimate riches should be so powerful that every
obstacle will be negotiable with persistence.
Number 2. Fear of Poverty.
A global economic disaster may be imminent and tomorrow your job may be in
jeopardy. It has not happened yet but the wise man formulates a contingency
plan today, while he can still pay the energy companies and mortgage. The aim
is independence. That 9 to 5 job has to go! One does not have to look far for
an answer! The Internet has shrunk the world beyond belief and provides
opportunities for all at minimal investment cost. My recommendation is to
exploit its power and through desire and determination build a lucrative web
presence. By developing personal skills and cultivating a burning desire to
succeed, this phenomenal tool of the present day will become an efficient,
silent and uncomplaining servant.
Number 3. Legacy.
This is more likely to be the motivation for the older person who is worried
about mortality and the time left to do the right thing for family and friends.
This perceived lack of time will create an urgent desire to build an adequate
monetary pot so that loved ones will be well provided for.
Number 4. Peer Pressure.
Quite simply this is the desire not to be left behind by acquaintances who are
well on the road to achieving their goals and delight in thinking or showing
that they have more brainpower than you.
Number 5. Self Satisfaction.
Many captains of industry, science, invention and the arts etc. have gone from
rags to riches through their insatiable desire to succeed. Any erstwhile
entrepreneur will spend time studying the biographies and teachings of such
eminent men and women and strive to emulate them. They will quickly realise
that the study of these works is essential to wealth achievement which will be
a source of great self satisfaction. It will also silence those critics who
can't tolerate anyone they know being able to upstage them.

Number 6. Charity.
There are many such who do not require riches for themselves but are of a
philanthropic nature and wish to give money to benefit the many who they consider
deserving of their efforts. Their desire can be every bit as powerful as any of
those who act mainly to improve their own circumstances.
Now for the bottom line. Never ignore
the importance of such intangible factors as thought, desire, faith and imagination
etc. They and many more intangibles are prerequisites for the accumulation of
riches and need to be fully understood and made the basis for the formulation
of any marketing strategy whether online or offline. The path from Dreams to
Substance will be eased. Remember that procrastination is the enemy of progress
so start now to turn desire into obsession and make things happen.
