Who Was First? - Business Acumen Exerpt Originally by Kevin Lam
Here’s a very deep secret hardly any Internet pros are prepared to share or actually point out without a fee. Part of the rationalizations to their success is they were among first to start it all. If you’ll remember hearing,’first come, first serve’ it’s the same way on the web.
Folks usually remember who was first, not second. As an example, who was the first to sell books online? Amazon ; who was second? Who was first to start mass production cars? Ford ; who was second? Which company was the first to start the fast-food chain restaurant? McDonalds ; who was second? Who was first to build an airplane? The Wright brothers ; who was second?
Did you at any point notice the crickets when I asked for the second provider?
We all have a tendency to remember who was first but barely do we remember too much further than that. Whomever enters the market first generally makes the biggest impression. Almost all of our Internet experts are filthy rich because they were first to present their products. Is that fair? Well, from their point of view, naturally it is. But from ours, it’s not very fascinating.
Now you are thinking that you have to be first at something to become rich but you don’t know what to be first at ; so, you believe it’s impossible. Take it easy, my friend. There are techniques around it. Let me ask you a question. Who owns money?
Did you try saying Bill Gates? Did you try exclaiming Donald Trump? Did you even try saying George Bush? It doesn’t matter WHO you claim to possess money, you are wrong. Nobody owns money. Bill Gates has money, Donald Trump has cash, George Bush has money and YOU have money but nobody will ever own it.
Though money is synthetic it is very similar to nature. No one owns it. No one owns the weather we feel, nobody owns the water we drink, no one owns the air we breathe and such like.
‘Oh, but folks own land!’
Do we really?
My point is this, money belongs to no one so don’t think you cannot become as wealthy as any other guru you know of. And notice that I never once said being first mechanically makes you rich. That’s not always the case and that’s why I say the first will make the biggest impression.
If wealth was made for only those that were 1st in line, then there would be no such thing as a line. They would benefit before us but it doesn’t mean we cannot benefit anything.
