I think that anyone with the desire and persistence can be
successful in cyberspace; because it is a long hard journey to
success. I truly believe a good idea, a big helping of
enthusiasm, together with a dash of innovation, plus a great
deal of time and effort in implementing it, faith in yourself
and persistence (not necessarily in that order) is the KEY to
internet marketing success.
The present "technological revolution", electronic commerce and
the information age could be just the recipe the world needs for
a level playing field of socially responsible (or
"compassionate"capitalism... and not "Gordon Gecko type greed")
- a "new order" in which smaller countries and "the little
people" with imagination + vision can take on the corporations
and the giant countries, like the US and Japan.
Living in a small isolated " city" of 30,000 people near the
bottom of the world made us realise some years ago the
tremendous benefits of distributing useful (valuable and most
importantly, helpful) information (hopefully!) around the world
at minimal cost via the www. (New Zealand's and specifically,
Gisborne's geographic isolation and "survival mentality"
certainly breeds entrepreneurial creativity, IMAGINATION and
effort!) .
I believe e-commerce (with it's instant communications) is the
new frontier of doing business world-wide and is the way of the
future (especially for geographically isolated communities, and
"homebiz people", like us). Eagle Productions was started as a
"one man business" with NO CAPITAL and just one or two "very
clever" friends, who helped "total non-techno me" with computer
expertise in this most economically deprived region of "little
old New Zealand". This has now "developed" to a few people
working (and having heaps of fun) in "Sleepy Hollow", together
with a number of overseas associates. (We have developed a
number of strategic business alliances recently). *
We believe an idea, a big helping of enthusiasm, together with a
great deal of time and effort in implementing it, faith in
yourself and persistence (not necessarily in that order) is the
key to internet marketing success. Together with developing
strategic alliances with other businesses - it doesn't matter
where in the world they may be located, thanks to modern
technology. Amazing... but no doubt there are still many more
life-changing inventions still to be invented!
Enjoy the incredible journey of the human IMAGINATION down the
"river of life".
Good luck
