The Law of Growth

Valentine? Why not, if not?
As Christians, we certainly ought to daily show love to everyone around us...however, I won’t instigate any debate on this note.

I read an e-book some couple of weeks ago and there is a part of it I agree with and would like to share with you.
Below is an extract from the e-book by Jason Oman on “How to Finally Make Money”.
The extract is titled “The Law of Growth”.

I must warn you to “eat the fish and throw away the bones” – this is a phrase I use when not all the content of a speech or book is “useful” or beneficial.
I am sure you will understand when reading it.
Have a blessed week.

#1: The Law of Growth

I’m going to start here by talking about why most success students never get the ball rolling in the ‘making money’ department.
You see, most success students I’ve come in contact with are trying to :
• Make $1,000,000 (one MILLION!) before they’ve ever made $100,000.
• Make $100,000 before ever making $10,000.
• Make $10,000 before ever making $1,000!
Does this sound familiar?
Once you really look at this concept you can easily see that this goes 100% against the very Laws of Nature!
You see, nature teaches us that all things must advance step-by-step.
Until I took my head ‘out of the sand’, I was a complete failure.
What most people don’t realize is that I started our whole business with a $40 sale on Ebay.com.
The secret behind the Law of Growth is that you must first learn how to make
$100, $500, or $1,000 before you try to make $10,000.
Once you’ve achieved what I call your first ‘Financial Victory’, it will be one of the most important events in your entrepreneurial life!
The Law of Growth is a MUST for your entrepreneurial success.
In other words...
All you can do is all you can do right now!
If you’ve never made a million dollars in a month or less, then what makes you think you'll be able to do that by the end of next month?
But, we get emotionally involved with trying to figure out some magical way to do that. Even though we've never done anything NEAR that much money before.
We need to be a little more realistic.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't shoot for the stars or try to stretch ourselves.
But, there is a point where we can be aiming so far above our current abilities that we're doing ourselves more harm than good. Because it’s not getting us anywhere.
The point is that you can probably go a lot farther (and get there a lot faster) if you have some victories and successes under your belt on the way there.
Doesn’t that make sense?
Getting that first Financial Victory will be a life-changing moment for you!
Then, so will the next one and the next one.
Each one is moving you closer to the big time and it also builds you up.
It helps you:
• Develop more belief in yourself
• Develop your self-esteem
• Feel good about yourself
• Be more willing to take even more actions
(Because you can see that you’re getting results instead of getting depressed because nothing is happening.)
And so much more!
Those are even more great reasons why you need to live by The Law of Growth.
So, why isn’t it taught more often?
It’s simply because it isn’t sexy. It’s the truth and everyone successful person knows it. But, it’s just plain not sexy.
In reality though, it needs to be shouted from the top of the mountains!
Ever since I made this discovery I’ve been sick and tired of this concept being kept hidden. And now I am on a mission to let the ‘cat out of the bag.’
It’s time the truth is revealed! It’s no longer reserved for the ‘special few’.
