When I started an Internet business in 1997 I had been on the web for a while, but I did not know how to code. I hired a really young person to help me out, but at that time, the web was lousy, and you found some: This site is under construction animated gifs all over the place. What ever I tried to do looked lik crap. I could not get pictures to stay in place, and Alta vista, my browser at that time did not help me. The trick at that time was to make up the website with huge pictures, at least if you wanted it to look good. But as you probably recall – the black modem did not like it at all. Later, I created a bunch of web sites using a clear.gif to make the site download faster and look pretty. You know the story from then on. The money I earned from creating websites for companies is still to be seen in our house; a great TV and stereo from Bang & Olufsen : http://www.bang-olufsen.com/, and as a matter of fact, I do love it still. Even my kids love it; a push of a button, and the TV is turned to my favorite position. Internet and communication has gone a long way since the 90′s, and you know the story.
BUT: If You Knew What I Know Would You Buy What I Sell?
If you knew me well, you probably would?
or?
For the last 15 years I have been discovering alot of ways that I can persuade people into buying something. And yes, it works. But I have constantly been asking myself this: Am I doing this because I love them or whyBcause I want to make my own life better? What is the correct prize for something? If You Knew What I Know Would You Buy What I Sell?
I do believe that the future will divide “people” into two groups:
#1 Those who wish people well and help others without bragging about it and not think of money.
#2 Those who get more and more greedy each day. (Those are the once that tell you about freedom but do not know anything about it).
I have decided that I would like to become the #1 person. I will of course sell my time and knowledge, but I will rather die broke and calm at heart knowing I gave this world my best shot. So far I have been able to accomplish alot. I have been able to use my potential. I have done alot of mistakes, but I do know that making mistakes is probably the best thing you can do to create great things. But bare this in mind: If you hurt people on your way (I know you will do that because I have), make up with them the best you can before you go to bed at night!
Stay in there tiger grrr;0)
