Lessons That I Learn From Breastfeeding…
27 September 2008 5:32 pm Baby Journey, Make Money On The InternetIt’s been 2 weeks since my first baby boy is born. I’m all excited, and as much as I want to focus on my business, I find myself constantly distracted by him with all the needs that he wants.
And if you have been following my posts, thank you for doing so. I just want to share with you that we have finally finalized his name and just registered it today.
His name is Darien Phay Qi Kang. Darien is his first name, Phay is last name. For Asian, our names are slightly different in terms of first and last name. Having a vision that he might have his own internet business, so I decided to put his name Darien Phay so that it’s easier to brand online. Haha…
I know I have been talking about my baby for the last couple of posts, I cannot help it but do so. So, today, I decided to share with you what I learn from breastfeeding, and most importantly…
How Does That Link To Internet Business Or Even Your Own Business…?
The very first thing I learn from day one as a father is… I don’t know everything! Even though I do have my own paternal love, care and instinct, but what do I need to do as a father… I’m not trained in it.
That brings my memory back 3 years ago, when both myself and Michslle first started our business. We don’t know anything, in fact, we don’t know everything. All we know is our skills that we used in our jobs, as an employees.
So, how do we overcome these problems? Simple! The first thing, and that’s the fastest way to get results, is to ask.
These 3 letters words is the most powerful word I ever learned, Ask… but how many of us are being taught, or even encourage to ask questions.
At the back of my childhood memory is always being tease of asking stupid questions, and this leads me to sometimes fear of asking questions. Now that I know where does all these fear comes from, I’m more open to asking questions.
Now that you overcome the fear of asking questions. One more key important point that I’ll definately teach my boy is… You Must Remember To Ask The Right Person!
How many times in our life we make decisions based on the answers given by wrong person? For me personally, countless.
So, over the years, both in my business and now in my own parenthood, we learn how to ask questions and also ask the right person.
One very good example is that when my baby feed from mother’s breast, he tends to take his own sweet time. An average child breastfeeding time for both breast, maximum is usually 1hour. Darien would takes at least 90 minutes and sometimes he still not full.
So, we got very worried, and would think what’s wrong with him. With that, we decide to ask one of our friend who have experienced in breastfeeding. True indeed, it’s very common for newborn to feed for long time, and sometime, that will grow out of it.
The second I realize in that most business owners don’t celebrate enough success. What do I mean by that?
For example, a common one I always heard is that…
Let’s say you have been working hard either as an affiliate or on your internet business. You took 3 months, building up the system, driving enough traffic, and one day after all the hard work, you got this email!
Notification Of Payment…
What is your first reaction will be?
Most people that I know would say, “Sigh! Only one sales, after all the hard work!”
It’s just exactly what happened during the first week of our breastfeeding. Michslle is first time mom, and it’s her first time breast feeding. So, she’s very worried, especially not able to produce enough milk for the baby.
After attending all the pre-natal class, and also reading books, we know that for the first 4 – 5 days, mom would only produce a few drops of milk only.
True enough, during the 3rd and 4th day at home, Michslle only have a few drops of milk. She got very worried. However, I told her… “Wow! That’s amazing… you start to have a few drops of milk!”
Then on the 5th and 6th day, she started to produce about 10 – 20 ml of milk. My first reaction is, “WOW! 20ml, that’s many times improvement from the few drops!” And I encourage her and make her feel good and positive.
Today, after 2 weeks… guess how much ml she produced?
Easily 100 – 120 ml of milk!
Think hard… isn’t that true for your internet business too?
If you start celebrating your first sale, and say good things about it… most importantly, feeling the good and positive energy in you to push forward to take action, do you think making US$5000 per month online is possible?
Absolutely!
But, what most people will say when they only saw a few drops of milk?
“Huh? Only few drops? Forget about it…”
I still have many insights that I discovered and learned during this entire new journey of experiences.
In the coming weeks, I look forward to write more on my latest updates on my internet business.
