Want to know the difference between a successful entrepreneur… and an entrepreneur who wants to be successful?
It\’s really very simple…
An entrepreneur acts. An entrepreneur who wants to be successful thinks of acting.
But successful entrepreneurs don\’t just act. They act at the right speed.
My AdSense book was designed to help people move from online newbie to profitable publisher with a stable ad revenue stream as quickly as possible. When you\’re looking to earn money, you want to reach that destination as quickly as possible.
The sooner you pick up your first AdSense check, the sooner you\’ll realize just what a giant opportunity AdSense can be for anyone.
The same is true for optimizing your ads. The longer your Web page sit with ads in the wrong place or in the wrong formats, the more money you\’ll lose. You want to track different ads for about a week, keep good records and make the right decisions quickly.
But there\’s one thing you just can\’t rush — and it\’s probably the most important part of any online business…
Relationships.
I\’ve lost count of the number of people who have written to me asking for joint ventures. People I\’ve never met, never heard of… and will probably never work with.
They might have great ideas, but if I don\’t know them, I\’m going to be very reluctant to partner with them.
I\’d much rather partner with people I\’ve met at conferences and got to know over time.
You should always be looking for people to form joint ventures with. But when you do meet someone, don\’t rush into a partnership. Take the time to get to know them. Learn about their products and talk about yours. Let the partnership develop naturally from the relationship.
Try to move too quickly from two strangers to potential partners and you could find that you lose both a potential friend and a profitable deal.
There is a time to move fast… but there are also plenty of times to take it easy and let the deals come at their own pace — and became permanent.
