USING IMAGINATION TO CONNECT THE DOTS IN BUSINESS

Once again, I would like to share a very valuable lesson from Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich.

One of the things that all entrepreneurs have in common is the use of their imagination. Hill wrote, “…man can create anything which he can imagine.”

I want to give some specific examples of how imagination has given way to extraordinary business results and how we can do the same with online marketing.

Ruth Handler knew that her daughter loved playing with dolls. Her daughter also liked dressing cut-out paper dolls with cut-out paper clothing. With a bit of imagination and an idea, Ruth Handler invented a doll that looked like a real woman, with real clothes. Today, we know her as Barbie.

Jeff Bezos took the idea of a bookstore and combined it with the Internet to create Amazon.com.

Pierre Omidyar combined the idea of auctions with the Internet to produce eBay.

Mary Kay Ash merged the ideas of women running their own business and door-to-door sales to create Mary Kay Cosmetics.

Arthur Blank and Bernard Marcus combined the supermarket business model with hardware to form Home Depot.

Tom Stemberg and Leo Kahn used the same supermarket model and combined it with office supplies to form Staples.

Any of us can take a page from these entrepreneurs by challenging ourselves by using our imagination to create wealth. The Internet gives us an amazing opportunity to turn any business into success with online marketing.

Choose a product or service you love.

Learn the power of online attraction marketing.

Build your business online to accumulate the riches you desire.

Connect the dots.

To Your Success!
