Internet Online Business Info

    I remember a track and field coach replying to the question, "How do you teach young athletes to high jump over a bar higher than their head?" His reply was, "I tell them to throw their heart over the bar and the body will follow." Sure, there's more to it than that. I won't bore you with tales of inept customers, but I will say we solved many of the "it doesn't work" issues by asking if the unit in question was plugged into an electrical outlet. Doesn't that make sense? Fear of failure often keeps us from taking a first step to success.

    Think of how easy our life is when we take a moment to read a manual before using the gizmo we bought to make life easier. Our chance of success is greater when we learn how to take first steps before we run. I'm a 'real man' and I read manuals! We venture into the unknown when starting something new to us. My checkered past includes managing customer support for a small technology company. We avoid that clash of concepts by knowing what's complex naturally and what's not. But without the belief - tossing hearts over bars - we're mechanical, not fully mentally and emotionally invested.

    The high jumper has many exercises to strengthen his body. Too often we over simplify complex processes. Equally often we make some things more complex than they are. There are also mental exercises to block out everything but the task.

Learn : No matter what your business experience, or Internet acumen - you are starting something new. And it helps to learn which side of the horse is best for climbing into the saddle.
