It’s been a couple weeks since I wrote, sorry to be out of touch.
A lot of great things happened in the last couple weeks, which I want to share with you.
One happened just this morning.
Woke up to an overcast day, and a bit of a chill to the air.
First day of October, and it’s definitely autumn in Fort Collins. Rumor has it that tonight there’s going to be a freeze, which will be the first time since May.
So I walked around the side of the house to check on the tomato garden. Green, red, and orange – there were a lot of those beauties. And it is time to harvest.
Instead of hopping straight on the computer like I normally do, I took a giant silver bowl outside and started filling it up with large, red, ripe tomatoes. And it felt really good.
Brought them inside, and it was tomatoes for breakfast. It will be tomatoes for lunch and dinner too, for a couple of days. Lots of bounty.
That’s the thing about harvest season. You work and work for a long time, and you seem to be making it nowhere. You plant, and you water, and you wait. Sometimes you weed, or sometimes you watch the weeds grow. Sometimes you don’t even get anything out of your garden.
With a little patience though, the right sun, water, and the right knowledge – look out. The bounty can be so great that you need help to harvest and enjoy all of it. And it turns into a huge celebration.
Working on your online business can be the same way. You work and work on your message, your website, and getting people to keep coming back for more. Sometimes it feels like you’re getting nowhere and that you should give up.
But if you give up, you are guaranteed to get nothing. If you keep churning, and working on your business though, and never give up – there’s no way you can lose.
Eventually, you’ll have a harvest so great that you need help to enjoy all of it.
It all starts with the right knowledge. With the right knowledge, you can plant the seeds to grow your business the way that you want it to be, and set yourself up for a bounty.
There are two ways to quickly expand your knowledge that I’ve discovered which are guaranteed to set you up for a great harvest.
One easy way to easily get the right knowledge is to listen to informative CDs in your car, or on your iPod. You can drive around and get the equivalent of a college degree each year, simply by listening to learning material.
Or maybe you go for a long walk and do your learning at the same time – now that’s efficiency.
Next thing you know, you’re pumped up, putting that knowledge into action, and setting yourself up for a bountiful harvest.
Another easy way to vastly expand your knowledge and speed up your time to harvest, is to ask a lot of questions to the right people. People who’ve been there, done that, and are interested in sharing.
There’s a lot of wisdom out there, I’ve found, if you just ask and then listen. And as the saying goes, “you reap what you sow”.
As we enter the last quarter of the year, enjoy this time of harvest. And be sure to continue planting seeds of knowledge in your own self and others. It’s always a good time to learn.
Until next time,
