What Ricky Nelson Taught Me About Home Internet Business Success

I am not the type of guy that thinks before I act. I follow the “shoot first and ask questions later” philosophy. This is great if you take criticism and rejection well. Unfortunately I am not that type of person.

When it comes down to concerning myself in the affairs of others, I do not. My philosophy is if they want to know how I think, they can ask me. However, I am not in the business of dishing out unsolicited advice to people.

As a home internet business owner, I have discovered that there are a lot of people who do not share this philosophy. They constantly email me with their advice and opinion on how to do things in my selling information business. Its amazing, its like they watch my every move and provide commentary on it.

As the owner of a home internet business, you can expect to receive a ton of unsolicited emails from people trying to help you correct your “mistakes”. They have no problems with telling you what they do not like and they assume that what they do not like others do not like it either. In fact, they will even believe that you have some type of “hidden agenda” with anything that you do.

It is amazing where people find the time to type up a 2-3-page email telling you why you are doing certain things in your business. They must be real online business prophets. It is too bad I do not possess their insight!

As a child, there was a great song that I used to listen to by Ricky Nelson. Rickys parents were Ozzie and Harriet. Originally he did a lot of music in the style of those malt shop songs from the 50s, but he eventually shifted directions. In 1971 (October to be exact) he ended up doing a Rock ‘n Roll show at Madison Square Garden. However, he now had long hair, bell bottom pants and did a completely different style of music.

In the middle of the show he got booed by the audience. Surprised and discouraged, Ricky left the stage. Later on he shared his thoughts:

“I went to a Garden Party, to reminisce with my old friends, a chance to share some memories, and play our songs again.

When I got to the Garden Party, they all knew my name, but no one heard the music- I didn’t look the same.

But it’s all right now. I learned my lesson well. You see you can’t please everyone so you gotta please yourself.”

This became the song “Garden Party” and it made Ricky a fortune, going gold and selling over a million copies. The album cover features Ricky in a black and white tux, holding a guitar in defiance and confidence.

Rickys personal anthem was as follows, “you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself.” I would also add, you “gotta please the Lord.”

The key lesson that I learned from Ricky Nelson is to be true to yourself. After all, if the critics knew what they were talking about, they would be building their own home internet business instead of criticizing yours!
