Chapter
3: For Things To Change, I Must Change...First!
by
Nelson Tan
Do you know that many people feel they cannot achieve what they
want in life because they are not in control of their circumstances?
Is it really so?
How many times have you heard this: "If only I had creativity
like him, I would be able to develop innovative Internet Marketing
products," or "if only I had the money to start the
e-commerce business, then I would be able to set up a business"?
Do you know that all these things are within our control the moment
we change ourselves?
It sounds unbelievable but it's true! This requires a shift
in your paradigm of thinking and it moves you from
a powerless state to a state where you can actually take control.
We will now take a look at 3 ordinary people like you and me who
are able to achieve what they want in life through this simple
principle.
David
was a guy in his late 30s who was still actively looking for a
partner to settle down. When I ask him why he had not settled
down, he replied that he was still looking for his ideal partner.
His idea of an ideal partner is a beautiful, smart, elegant and
well-mannered lady. I started to ask him, "Would this ideal
partner want to take you as her partner?" Immediately, he
gets the idea. As David had messy hair, liked to drink and smoke,
he realized that his ideal partner would never be attracted to
somebody like him. He started to make an effort to comb his hair
neatly and kicked his drinking and smoking habits. In a couple
of months down the road, he finally found the ideal partner that
he was looking for.
Mark
was in the Internet Marketing business. He was not getting the
sales result that he wanted to achieve. After attending a teleconference
call by one of the Internet Marketing gurus, he realized the reason
why he was not achieving the sales result he wanted was due to
lack of planning and insufficient market research for his product.
Mark evaluated
his methods and began to make a conscious effort to change
the way he works. He started to plan well and do sufficient
market research before launching his product. The next product
that he released was a runaway success!
Ken
was a new teacher. He was allocated to teach the most mischievous
class in the whole school. Many teachers in the school had already
given up on this class. Initially, Ken tried the usual approach
to teach the class, but it didn't work well. Ken started evaluating
his method and decided to change his approach of teaching them.
Instead of the usual one-way communication to the student, Ken
engaged the students in the class through fun interactions and
games. When the exam results were out, the class had
dramatically improved their result.
Based
on the above stories, we saw that in order to change the situation,
the first change must come from within ourselves.
Very often, we feel powerless to change our situation when we
feel that things are not within our control. Through this simple
principle of changing ourselves in order to change things,
we have the power to take control rather than being a
victim of the circumstances. When we take responsibility
for what we get and change ourselves, everything and everybody
will change with us! For things to change, I must change...FIRST!
So…
If you want to be the top Internet Marketer, work hard and work
smart.
If you want to be the best employee, constantly value-add to the
company.
If you want to find the perfect girlfriend, be that perfect boyfriend
first.
Take
a piece of paper and write down the top 5 things that you want
to change and list down the 5 changes that you would take in order
to change the situation. If you do not know what the
problem is, kindly seek the help of a friend or loved one who
can point it out to you. Start changing your life today!
