Hey, this is Jim. Welcome back to Silent Sales Machine Radio. Very short episode today, but I think it's an important one, especially if you're new or skeptical. This episode is for you. And for those of you who have been around the while, this will put into perspective where you should probably be in your internet income journey.

And I'm going to start off by telling a little story. It's actually a little riddle that I shared. I kind of came up with it when we were sitting around dinner. It's been a few years back asking the kids to solve the riddle.

And I don't know if I've ever mentioned it before on this show or not, but it certainly illustrates a really good point that I want to make today.

And hopefully it will stick in your mind as I share this story.

So imagine, if you will, that it's raining really, really hard outside. It's

been raining for days and days. And there's a field, an empty open field. And in that field,

there's two buckets, two identical buckets, both identically positioned, both sitting level facing upright, and water

from the sky falling because it's pouring down rain. The only difference between the two buckets

is one of them is full and overflowing, and the other one is less than half full. How is this

possible? What's going on? And I'll tell you at the end of

this episode today, what's going on with those buckets and explain it. Maybe you can give it some thought.

Pause it if you don't want to hear the answer at the end. I'll give you a warning before we get to the end,

before I give you the answer. But it illustrates for me quite nicely one of the things I want to talk about with

the sellers in this community, because like I mentioned at the beginning, this episode

specifically for the skeptics and those who are new to earning income using the internet.

As with all business, I don't want to assume that you know this. So all business, anything worth

ever doing, if it involves providing value to customers, which is all business is,

providing valuable services to customers at a price less than what they're willing to pay,

which is more than what you have to pay to deliver it, right?

That's the only way you stay in business.

So if delivering these services to a customer, it's going to take work.

It's going to take creative effort, energy.
