Want Your Business to Do Better?

My dad once told us a story of a wealthy man who passed on and left a curious will...

He set a date when his son was to pick ONLY one thing out of all he had -- That would be his inheritance. On the other hand, his slave was to inherit everything else.

The slave was wild with celebration. He knew he would soon be a very wealthy man.

The man's son was perplexed. He knew his father loved him so why would he do something like this to him? He was sorrowful.

But then he remembered that his dad's closest friend was still alive and he decided to go to him for advice. After he met with this old man, he became a happy man once again.

So the day came and the whole community gathered. The slave was prancing all around and was telling the son to pick whatever he wanted so he could take the rest.

The son looked at him and said: "I pick you". Then it suddenly dawned on the slave that he was one of the deceased man's properties.

Whoever owns the slave owns everything he had and will ever produce.

Now this was back in the days when slavery was normal. But technology has given us something ethical that works better than slaves. It's called the internet...

When I push just one button, I'll send this message to thousands of people. If I had a million subscribers I wouldn't have to do anything more either.

You can make the internet your slave and then everything the internet can do will be yours.

I have succeeded in doing that and it has cost me years. But while it's best to learn how to "enslave" the internet for your own use, IT. WILL. TAKE. TIME.
