Christian,

I really loved this post – I think it was very well written and stopped people from being delusional that doing nothing will make you rich. Anything worth anything always took time and effort (and there is no way to get around that).

I loved this quote & it rang very true with me: “Don’t skip the hard stuff, because doing what your competition is not willing to do…”

Keep up the good work!

#4- I would have to say being as many places as possible is a good rule, diversify is a key to life.
Most importantly for #4 I would say, take the time to make a quality profile. If they got a box to link to your site and explain your site then fill out both.
Along with making quality introductions when possible. On forums and group sites especially. Taking the 10mins to type out a relevant introduction can build almost instant trust with the admins and regular users of the site who actually read them.

Thanks for sharing your list.

Hi Christian… I am a first time visitor and very impressed. I have read a couple of you posts and you are a very good writer and I enjoy your writing style which is important. I will definitely be back.

As fare as this post, I agree 100% with your 20 points and I think I follow all of them to the best of my knowledge.

Now I don’t think #20 (Being Good) is a cop out. I think you get what you put out in life and being good hopefully means getting good stuff back. One thing I always try and do is let someone know if I find something wrong with their site, like something isn’t working correctly or major typos and such. Not only is it good Karma, but it also helps build relationships.

Hi Norma…thanks for your comment! Yes it really is that simple. At least that’s what I’ve found to be true over and over again. When we try to go around the human element of our business and just “make money”, it all falls short. It’s so much easier to just build a real business from the beginning!

Thanks for the post Christian. Very useful and very true indeed!
I especially like the reminder about giving: ”Is my goal to create value for my customers, or am I just trying to sell something?” which also relates to a previous post you wrote about too many people trying to make a few quick dollars rather than looking at building long term relationships with people based on trust. That’s how business will thrive. Give and look after people, everything else will follow.
Thanks!
