Internet Marketing Experts and the Path to Greatness

If you are looking for someone who promises you to make millions while spending only 30 minutes a day in your spare time, look somewhere else. If you want to achieve greatness in your field, you will need to take the same road experts like Warren Buffet took. Buffet is famous for his discipline and spending hours upon hours of studying financial statements.

This web site is my journeyas we search out true internet marketing experts, individuals that have developed a high degree of skill and knowledge in the art of producing online profits. Experts like Eugene Ware of Noble Samurai, he was once part of a group that made $570,000 online in 37 minutes and another promotion made $960,000 in just 3 weeks.

‘What it takes to be great’, an article that was a result of a number of studies asking the question, Are some people just born to be great in their field, or is it something else, some knowledge that average folks can use to become great. There’s good news and bad news, the good news is excelling is not a consequence of innate gifts.

The good/bad news is the key to greatness is an enormous amount of hard work. I once talked to a professional musician who played in major symphonies in the United States. His perspective on becoming a professional musician was – it takes about eight hours of practice a day for the first years but then you can cut back to practicing six hours a day.

The article used an example of a group of violinists, the top tier of violinists had averaged 10,000 hours of deliberate practice (more about deliberate practive in a moment.) the second tier of violinists averaged 7,500 hours of practice, and the bottom tier averaged 5,000 hours.

Deliberate practice – not just any kind of practice. Most people when learning something new learn very quickly at first, then the learning pace slows down eventually stops.; Rare are the people that continually improve in a skill over the course of their life.

An average golfer might hit a couple buckets of balls using every club in his bag but someone who is deliberate in their practice will hit 300 balls with a 9 iron and not quit until he gets 10 shots within 6 feet of the pin. Some studies sited the ten-year-rule, if you want to become world class in your field it will take about 10 years of intense work.

I spent (or I should say my employer invested in me) approximately $40,000 obtaining a degree in Business with a concentration in E-commerce. The reason I chose my degree – it was the only degree that offered a concentration in E-commerce. I wanted to learn everything I could about marketing online. I spent 6 years of my life pursuing that degree while I working full time. I even graduated summa cum laude (that is a fancy word that had to be explained to me, it means I got pretty good grades).

The problem was after 6 years I had become like the majority of my teachers. I had become someone who could put together masterful business plans, parrot marketing and business concepts, but had no idea how to make a living online. Yes, I had learned allot, some awesome networking classes and a good foundation to read code, I may have been on the road, but it was the long way to becoming proficient online.

The question isn’t whether you were born with a certain aptitude for internet marketing. The question is how bad do you want it? Do you want to become an internet marketing expert bad enough to become deliberate in your pursuit of your dream.
