Who Was First? – Business Acumen Exerpt Originally by Kevin Lam

Here’s a very deep secret not many Internet pros are prepared to share or actually say without a fee. Part of the reasons to their success is that they were among first to start it all. If you’ll remember hearing,’first come, first serve’ it is the same way on the internet.

Folks generally remember who was first, not 2nd. As an example, who was the first to sell books online? Amazon ; who was second? Who was the first to start mass production cars? Ford ; who was second? Which company was the first to start the fast-food chain restaurant? McDonalds ; who was second? Who was the first to build an airplane? The Wright siblings ; who was second?

Did you at any point notice the crickets when I asked for the second provider?

We all have a tendency to remember who was first but rarely do we remember too much further than that. Whomever enters the market first sometimes makes the biggest impression. The majority of our Internet experts are stinking rich because they were first to present their products. Is that fair? Well, from their standpoint, naturally it is. But from ours, it is not very fascinating.

Now you are thinking that you’ve got to be first at something to become rich but you do not know what to be first at ; so, you think it’s not possible. Take it easy, my chum. There are ways around it. Let me ask you a question. Who owns money?

Did you try pronouncing Bill Gates? Did you try exclaiming Donald Trump? Did you even try asserting George Bush? It isn’t important WHO you claim to possess money, you are wrong. No one owns cash. Bill Gates has money, Donald Trump has money, George Bush has money and YOU have cash but nobody will ever own it.

Though money is man-made it is very similar to nature. No one owns it. Nobody owns the weather we feel, no one owns the water we drink, no one owns the air we breathe and the like.

‘Oh, but people own land!’

Do we really?

My point is this, money belongs to nobody so do not think you cannot become as wealthy as any other guru you know of. And notice that I never once said being first automatically makes you rich. That isn’t always the case and that’s why I say the first will make the most important impression.

If wealth was made for only those that were 1st in line, then there would be no such thing as a line. They’d benefit before us but it does not mean we won’t benefit anything.
