You are already successful. Your writing has done this for you.
Think about it. You had to be able to write to get out of elementary school. You had to be able to write to get your high school diploma. If you graduated college, your writing was a big part of your success. If you didn’t go to college, but went straight into the workforce, chances are you wrote a resume to get that first real job.
Your words have brought you to where you are now.
I was thinking of this after reading a book by Matt Furey. Matt has become a real force (and success) in the online world of email marketing. He writes emails, has a website, gives talks to the internet marketing community on how to sell with your words. The book I was reading is titled, “101 Ways to Magnetize Money”. It talks about how the thing you do, or don’t do, tend to attract or repel money.
In chapter 16 “Remembering Your Best Money-Making Moments” he wrote, “Begin each day recalling the times in your life when you received money.” As I did this, it struck me that at the most basic level, I only got money when I asked for it, either verbally, or more often, using words. I sold something. Either my time or a physical product.
Through the words on my resume tens and tens of thousands of dollars came into my life each year like clockwork. I could write a whole book, but I didn’t get the money until I wrote the ad. Advertising and salespages or websites bring in the cash. If you want to sell something, what do you think of first?
Writing a classified ad. Writing an ad for ebay.
It’s writing that brings in the cash.
You’ve been doing it for years, writing for wealth.
Be grateful for your triumphs so far. Recognize how much success you’ve already obtained through the words you’ve written.
Want even more success with your words? Just change the things you are writing.
Here’s a photo of Matt Furey’s book if you’re interested in learning more about making money. If you go on Amazon.com you’ll see that this 120 page book is on sale for nearly $200 but you can get the audio CD version pictured here for less than $30.
