Think about that question! Think deeper. You might answer, Yes! Maybe! or No!

No matter which answer you have in your heart, let me give you a brand new perceptive. I believe it’ll expand your horizon on how you define success in your internet business.

As mentioned yesterday, I’ll share a life-changing experience that I personally encounter in my trip to Sri Lanka. I’ll remember deep in my heart this impactful 10 minutes encounter I had.

Here’s how it goes…

We woke up early on day 7 of our trip, had breakfast, and was ready to continue the rest of the journey of our trip.

We were at Hotel Silver Fall, about 2,000 meters up in the mountain. It was cold up there, the morning shower was full of surprises, as the warm water would suddenly switch to cold ice water in matters of seconds.

Nevertheless, my family and myself had lots of fun.

We are in our tour bus and all ready to head down to the foot of the mountain. The journey would takes about 2 hours from the peak to the foot of the mountain.

If you have been to any mountain resorts or hotels, you would notice the winding roads that enable you to drive up and down the mountain.

The reason why it will takes 2 hours to drive up and down is mainly of that reason. The road is so narrow that it only able to take 1 buses comfortable, and it’s a 2 way road.

So, the driver have to drive slow and be really skillful at negotiating all the corners and be really alert of the incoming vehicles.

It’s very dangerous, as most drivers are very reckless, especially the public buses drivers.

As usual, we would see small pockets of stores, or local people selling local fruits, vegetables or even flowers fresh from the mountains.

As Harv says, “The Essence of Business is To Create It Or Buy it and Sell It for A Profit”. So, the local people do really knows how to do business.

As we drove pass, we saw this local man, taking a big bunch of flowers, full of colors, red, green and white, and waving at us to buy from him.

Of course, our host knows it’s really common in that mountain region, and it’s one of the methods to get make some money for themselves.

So, the bus continue to drove pass, going through the turns and heading down.

Moments later, we saw another man, taking also a big bunch of flowers, very beautiful and vibrant, doing the same action, waving at us, wanting us to buy from him.

The bus continue on…

Another 2 minutes later, as we turn into a corner and make a left-turn, we saw another man again, wearing almost the same outfit, with the same big bunch of flowers, and waving at us, getting us to buy from him.

I was not really observing the man until my wife make this comment, “Why Do All The Man In This Region Look The Same?”

It was until this time that our host make this comment that shocked all of us, including myself…

“It’s the same man all along!” (Did you guess it correctly?)

Everyone in the bus went, “Huh! The same person?”

We were shocked, including myself, I cannot believe it.

Do you know why? If you are in the same bus with me, you would not believe how he did it. Other than the roads that we are traveling is flat, the rest of the mountain is all steep slopes.

He’s not running behind the bus, as I did not see him do it. He dash his way down the steeps slopes of the mountain to get to the next point where he knew we will meet him again.

He’s native in that region, so he knows exactly where to run, but it’s really dangerous doing that. One wrong steps, and a slip, he might fall to his death or break his leg.

During that split second discovery, the bus continue it’s same speed heading down the winding mountain roads.

By the fourth time we saw him, we still continue to drive past. The only difference this time is that we saw him running down the slope, and crossing the road trying to catch up the fifth time.

By the fifth time, we gave in. Our host gave in, ask the driver to slow down, and park by the side of the road.

Seconds later, the man appeared, with the huge bunch of flowers.

It’s beautiful, no doubt about it, however, we do not need it at that point in time.

We opened the window and asked how much is it. We pay him 500 RS and we got this big bunch of beautiful flowers. (It’s really heavy)

I’m really upset forgetting to take a picture of his looks on his face after we bought the flower from him. He look really relief. He didn’t smile, but really relief.

I can see from his eyes that he’s glad that he managed to make 500 RS today.

Let me tell you another daunting fact. Do you know how much 500 RS is in your currency?

S$1 will convert to about 80 RS. So, 500 RS is only about $6.25 Singapore dollars

US$1 will convert about 100 RS. So 500 RS is only US$5

Imagine the extra mile, the risk and the hard work this man have to put in to only potentially about to make US$5 on that day.

How fast do you spend US$5 every single day? In a MacDonald Value Meal, in a StarBucks Coffee, or even in a bowl of noodles.

If most tourist didn’t stop the car, it would not only waste his effort running down, he might not even make US$5, and worst still, slip and fall during the attempt.

Not only that, even if he make the money or not, he still have to make the trip up the first same spot when we first see him.

This man really hit me deep in my heart and soul.

I cannot help “crying” in my hearts how grateful and thankful I am living in Singapore and exposed to the internet and able to build an internet business.

Just one sale from my recent launch of my ebook, one copy would be already US$14.95. And that’s already almost 3 flower sales of him running that same mountain slopes risking his life.

And if you look from the business perceptive, how many times do we need to keep engaging and going back to our prospect to take notice of us, trust us and in the end, buy from us?

Also, I’m sure you would have heard that it takes at least 7 times for someone to visit your website and read your salesletter before deciding to buy from you.

That’s non-other than true in this case.

With that, let me hear your comments.

To Your Success,
