Dreaming of Apple Pie
Posted on March 30, 2007

I’ll warn you all this post may seem a bit off topic at first but bear with me.
Last weekend I was at Yanik Silver’s Underground III seminar. Yanik had asked me to make a presentation on how I take on the big boys (large companies) in the world of SEO. A great deal for me because aside from having great fun delivering my presentation, I had the unique opportunity to watch, listen and absorb ideas from other successful folks. The presenters were great and I walked away with several good ideas.
So here is the point. You’d have to be in a coma or staying at a remote monastary to not hear all the buzz about The Secret A.K.A success focused/abundance thinking. You envision huge success and it comes. So easy — right?
The way I see it, that’s step 1. I mean if all you think about is the small stuff you may miss the big stuff. I could be walking in a treed field and all I see is dirt and grass. Or maybe I’m thinking about apple pie and suddenly realize that I’m actually walking right by an old apple tree that is still producing some red, lucious fruits. My goodness, all I had to do was think about it and the tree seemed to magically appear.
So envisioning gets me in the right frame of mind to be ready to see the opportunity lurking right in front of me. But just spying the apples high up in the tree doesn’t get me apple pie.
No, that takes muscle. A little effort. I gotta climb the tree and get the apples and then I have to take them home, clean them up, dice them, make a crust, add a little sugar and cinnamon and bake the thing. Then I have my apple pie.
So going to a great seminar like Yanik’s gets me fabulous ideas. But now I have to put them in play.
It’s a lot like getting your site successfully found on the internet. Having the idea to rank may put you in the mind to learn information needed to get your site found on the Internet. But without the muscle, you’ve got nothing but some great ideas.
So anyone can rank their site with the right information and the muscle to get the job done. No matter how new you are, think of success, follow a knowledgeable path and put some muscle to it and you’ll win.
Tomorrow I’ll update you all on the softball/baseball site. I’ll give you a preview – we’ve made some good progress so you’ll see that but I’ll also give you all some insight as to why we are pulling ahead. That’s the knowledge path.
But for now I’m off to get a piece of pie. Apple pie – now doesn’t that sound tasty?

Hi,
Great presentation at the Seminar! I got a lot out of it that I’m now applying. I took about 15 pages of notes and it is been quite a task to DECIDE what to do, when to do it and all that “muscle stuff.”
Looking forward to the update on the baseball site.

P.S. Thanks for access to the special tool.
Hey Jason,
I wrote the post because we already here had picked something to implement and are 90% complete with the implementation. I think the important thing with the Internet is speed.
We sort our ideas by financial potential and ease of implementation and pick the one that scores highest and go with it.
Just something to think about. Thanks for the comments.
