Success is not a straight road. It actually
looks like a garbled line and a bit of luck for those who have achieved it. For
Ali Brown, it was all about $18 and a ton of jobs, and the Internet. Pouring in
all her money into her business -- an internet-marketing and network based
research company that is now a multi-million dollar company.
One, personal finance was a little issue for Ali
Brown, but it was more about gaining proper financing for her business.
Financial management is best learned when one loses everything -- Brown was
broke and the situation helped her find ways to keep herself and the business
afloat. While one need not to lose everything, the event itself teaches an
ultimately valuable lesson.
Another learning is to focus. Brown had her
focus during her time and she understood the consequences of failure -- it
meant setbacks but also learnings and she could try again. Understanding one's
sources of income and understanding proper management of these finances need
focus and investment of time.
Brown also recognized that time and opportunity
where her biggest resources and she used them to her advantage. Not having
money was not an issue if she knew she had time to rebuild from her false
starts and failures. Understanding her market from her failures, she developed
courses, programs and products that had now given her the multi-million dollar
business she has.
