Conquer Shiny Object Sydnrome

My Shiny Object Syndrome Story I suffer from shiny object syndrome I went to my first Internet Marketing seminar in November 2011. I got a big buzz from that and could see a lot of avenues to apply some of the tools that were presented. I bought 3 packages One to help in keyword research One to help with push button site creation One to learn how to use webinars I could see exactly how those would fit in a strategy to build an Internet Marketing business.

The Quick Start Challenge

Internet Marketing Tragic I am an internet marketing addict. I suffer from shiny object syndrome. I went to my first internet marketing seminar nearly 7 years ago in November 2011. I am not really sure what I was looking for but I could smell an opportunity that leveraged my background in business and in technology. After all, my partners and I had sold our consulting business to the world’s largest web development firm in 1999 (USWeb/CKS). I had helped my clients build the first internet shopping engines in UK and in South Africa. I was an internet pioneer. I understood the ideas. I listened avidly to the presenters and I bought a few programs and I started work on nearly...
