How Many Masters Are You Serving?
4 March 2006
Greetings
on a beautiful East Tennessee day!
There
are two verses from the New Testament that caught my attention
as I was thinking about lessons for Internet success for this
issue of Success His Way Journal.
In
like Luke 16:13 we read:
“No
servant can serve 2 masters. He will either hate the one and
love the other or he will be attentive to one and despise the
other.”
And
in John 6: 68 - 69:
“Simon
Peter answered him, “Lord to whom shall we go? You have the
words of eternal life. We have come to believe; we are
convinced you are God’s holy one.”
I
am sure you are probably scratching your heads trying to figure
out the connection these verses have to achieving Internet
success.
Think
about the underlying message in each of the verses. Focus is the
common theme. In the verse from Luke, we see that when we have
too many priorities in our lives, as we all often do, some of
the priorities will suffer. We just can’t do too many things
at one time or some will be neglected - we will be more
attentive to one than another.
I
have always been moved by Peter’s words; “Lord to whom shall
we go”. Peter is saying once again that Jesus needs to be the
focus for us – for there is no other to go to for the words of
eternal life.
Use
these verses to evaluate your journey to online success from 2
aspects.
First,
are you focused on building one program at a time (I hope The
Biblical Guide to Internet Riches affiliate program is one
of themJ)?
You cannot have too many irons in the fire, as they say, or you
will not make progress on any of them.
You
cannot be a servant to many different masters. And trust me, if
you want to be successful on the Internet, program are like
masters. They take time, care and feeding if you want to be
successful.
The
second thing I would like for you to think about is who your
online mentors are and how many do you have? Are you subscribing
to too many e-zines? For example, if you have decided you want
to focus on making money using Affiliate programs, are your
e-zine subscriptions focused on this one area? Are you listening
to too many “experts”?
Choose
1 or 2 e-zine publishers you feel comfortable with and stick
with them. Cancel other e-zine subscriptions and FOCUS. Now if
you have read “The
Biblical Guide To Internet Riches” you will know I
recommend that you subscribe to subject matter related e-zines
in addition to your main focus.
Here
is what I mean by this. If you are developing your own product
to sell, for example, you will probably want to subscribe to
newsletters that will help you be successful selling your
product like e-zines related to list building, using
advertising, publishing a newsletter etc. Keep your
subscriptions tightly focused on subjects you need to be a
success.
To
continue this example, if you are developing your own digital
book to sell, you should most likely not be subscribing to
e-zines about how to be successful with Multi Level Marketing.
Think about where your focus
is – you can’t serve 2 masters!
Take
some time to visit the pages of www.successhisway.com
to review proven programs from reputable Netrepreneurs. You
can’t go wrong with the tried and true.
Finally,
heed the advice of St
Paul in his letter to the Philippians 4:8 where he tells us:
“Finally, my brothers, your thoughts should be wholly directed to all
that is true, all that deserves respect, all that is honest,
pure admirable, decent, virtuous or worthy of praise.”
To Success His Way,
Mark
