Every idea has the potential to create a revolution

"Every idea has the potential to create a revolution.The choice of whether to rise or fall with it is entirely your's and you make the choice through your actions or inactions."

This post is either a worthless redundant incoherent babble or the most important action for the success of any mission irrespective of your goal. Whether it falls in the first category or the second depends on what kind of mental state you are in right now.

A few years back, I bought an ebook on adwords that costed me just around $1.81 . Obviously , I wasn't expecting it to unravel the mysteries of adwords due to it's price tag. In fact, before I purchased it ,I had already read a more popular and proven e-book on the same topic and it was my curiosity of knowing what a $1.81 e-book could reveal that a $97 e-book can't that got me to purchase it.

I wasn't surprised to find some proven keywords on a niche shared by the author that he claimed could be put on auto-pilot to bring back an ROI of 300%. That's little less than $6 for every $1.81 you spent and that's all the e-book taught me. I wasn't thrilled because although I tried to be a realist and not expect much from the book , a part of me kept whispering that this is the one you have been waiting for.

Reluctantly, I downloaded another free e-book available as a bonus , not to miss out on anything I could lay my hands on to compensate for the $1.81 disaster. The moment I read the title inside the e-book , it upset me more. The book was about procrastination , a "call to action" e-book , the kind that I had seen numerous times, but didn't know how many of them I actually read.

Having nothing better to do I kept skimming through the few pages that my bonus gift had. It told me that I didn't need to purchase his e-book , that I already knew what I needed to know to succeed.This infuriated me so much that I decided to write back to the author of the e-book after a good read of his free crap and now I was paying attention because I had to point out the gross inconsistencies in his e-book and the bonus to embarrass the author who robbed me off my $1.81.

So what did it say ?

It told me that I already knew all I needed to know , not just about adwords , but about success; That all this information is scattered and I can't associate them to form a plan because my trust has been broken by internet marketers who modify old products over and over to make it appear new ; That rather than buying new books I should write down what I know and focus on my knowledge before trying out the next best thing under the sun.

The content of the book forced me to think about all I could recollect and by the time I was done , I realized that I had collected a fortune that was worthless only because of my inaction. Perhaps because I wanted something easier or perhaps I believed strongly that these ideas can't succeed. Whatever the reason, I realized that I knew enough to start earning well that very minute and yet I was wasting my precious time treasure hunting.

After finishing that not-so-boring bonus book , the first thing I did was to look at the list I had just prepared and consider each piece of information as if that was the only thing I had to make money with. By the time I was done , I could have written 8 e-books on various topics to make me enough money online to take a vacation for a year , of course I am hazarding a guess about the length of my vacation. But this time the difference was that I didn't procrastinate . I considered each idea individually and began seeing the potential in them. Before I could get excited , I started to act on them just as my free bonus mentored me and it wasn't even a day before I began to see results.

Moral of the story ? Introspect and extract what you have already learned and like me , you might surprise yourself with the realization that you are sitting on a fortune and searching for a dime. I hope you are in the right mental state and wouldn't just forget about this post after you finish reading it.

I haven't found the time to mail the author to criticize or thank him , but I know I'd send him a fat thank you check just to let him know how grateful I am for the bonus that came with his $1.81 e-book. I'd have still been searching everywhere if not for his invaluable lesson that forced me to individually look at each idea before discarding them to realize the hidden potential that could transform my life. If you were the author , then I will mail you sometime soon :-)
