The right path makes it much easier
By admin | February 15, 2010
Watching the turtles occasionally causes a light bulb to go off in my old often befuddled brain. Last night was one of those occasions. Gizzard and Baby showed me the difference in effort needed to get what you want.
The effort you put out is often times not enough because it is not the right effort. Here is what happened.
I added food to the tank and both Baby and Gizzard wanted to go eat it up as quickly as possible. Nothing new there but both of them were behind the ramp in the tank. Baby is still small enough to fit through the gap without backing up so she snuck right out and started eating. It was easy for her.
Gizzard has gotten so big there is no way he can get through the gap. No matter how hard he worked at pushing through the gap it was not going to happen unless he was strong enough to pull the whole ramp off of the wall.
So Baby is eating quite easily and Gizzard is struggling to get through a tiny gap that he just will not fit through. You could almost see the frustration on Gizzard’s face.
Now had he simply backed up and gone to the other side he could have reached the food quite easily. So despite all the effort by not knowing the path Gizzard did not get any of that food. (For that Baby was quite happy.)
Now here is the thin line you need to balance on when building your business. Focused effort is definitely necessary to be successful but if you focus on the wrong thing no matter how hard and focused your effort you just won’t get what you want without a route that you can fit down.
That is one of the reasons I recommend anyone that is not getting the success that they want and is getting frustrated with all of their effort get Doug Champigny’s Powerstart 2010. This will give you the right path to build your business and break down the bottle necks that you are getting stuck in.
Yes it will still take focused effort but the path will be laid out and the obstacles removed so you can get the most for your effort.
Check out Powerstart 2010 today.

Great thoughts from the turtles once again! Yep, there are many ways to go about making money online, some will take longer than others. But whatever the way, you need a plan and work through it.

I just love your turtles – they should write a book.
As I was reading I kept on thinking why does’nt mike just pick up Gizzard and help him to the food. Now that would be the wrong thing to do in business, you need to put in the effort to see the results. Powerstart gives you the tools and path to follow but the effort is up to you.

Picking up Gizzard is not easy and she likes to bite it is not safe either unless you are very careful.
