Hello all,
As Ali expert this month, I am to give seminars on certain topics. You can see the topics by clicking the promotion banner.
This week, I am supposed to give seminars on price trap. However, I see that many questiones addressed in this forum is not related with the topic. So I decided to give seminar on the most favorite topic.
Up to today, it seems like the never ending question is still dominating the forum. "I am new, how do I start?".
As a matter of fact, I have written meny articles for new beginner in this forum. Not only me, many other contributing experts have written articles about it. It seems like many of the new beginner trader is lack of passion of reading that they keep on asking the same questions.
This has made me cuorious. I started asking myself, "Is there any easy way for beginner trader?"
I always consider myself as beginner. This way I am forced to alway learn. Learn for something new, and learn from other people's story. The story can be good or bad, but the point is, what can be learnt behind the story.
Let me just tell you what I've learnt. The answer to the question above is THERE IS NO SUCH EASY WAY TO GET TO SUCCESS.
Probably the assumption is wrong. Instead of asking "will I be and will I be successfull", we better ask "How can I be successfull".
There is one very significant difference between the two. The first one is focusing on the end result, while the later one is focusing on the process.
Long time ago i joined a seminar by a success coach. I was ask what my dream is in the future. I just said that I want to be rich. But then, I was asked, "Is $100 enough for you to be called rich?"
"Off course, not!" immediately i replied. It was interesting because the amount of money to determine someone is rich or not varied from one person to another.
The biggest lesson i learnt from this coach was that a material measure is not an ideal thing to determine success. Today you probably think that by making a sales of $10,000 is big enough for you. But the next month, it will probably change.
So instead of focusing on the measurer of determining when it is time to call you seccessful, why not focusing on the process.
As a self taught person, here is what i found out about the process of becoming successfull.
1. Other people can only motivate you, it is you who determine to be motivated or not.
I just read a question from a fellow trader saying that he/she only got very few inquiries which are mostly not usefull. Please understand that you can not generalized all story. Some products are easy to sell and some others not. Some has high in demand and some are not. But we all made a choise what products we want to sell. If you already created a good and communicative website, probably you just need to modify, or even try something else to support it and to create sales.
2. If you are selling shoes, why ask someone who sells flower for how to sell shoes.
Too many questions addressed to me asking a very specific and technical question of how to sell certain products. Please understand that I only know how to sell products that I am dealing with. I will not have a clue of how to sell products which I am not dealing with. And trust me, it is you who knows better of how to sell your products.
But is that mean that you can not ask anybody att all? Not true. Even by exchanging ideas with other people who is not in the same business as you could inspire you or refresh your ideas of selling your products.
3. Instead of paying high value to money, pay high value to time.
Esspecially on these hard days, sales is rare. Conditions is harder. Payment term is worse. Is that meaning that we have to quit what we have started before? Well, let me be frank with you. Esspecially if you are an independent trader running your own company, covering the monthly bills is more than enough sometimes. But don't worry, I believe that if we keep on doing what we are doing in the right way and right directions, we will get there eventually.
By believing in this, you will pay high value to time. Make the most of your time by learning. There are a lot of good articles written by experienced trader in this forum. Articles from how to cretae sales, how to avoid scammers, how to begotiate good payment terms, and many others.
Time flows in the form of process. Process create intangible assets, such as credibility. To be credible, you must go through a long process that time proove that you are reliable. Earning a credibility could be much much more valuable than the money itself.
Back to the main question, is there any easy way for beginner? The answer is NO!
Good luck! ![]()
I read this article completely,and get the answer:"no one valid methord to achieve success except your wording hard"..
Yes, perharps that is the true and invoidable thing.
