Core values explain a lot

July 31st, 2008 by Miguel Verissimo

I was writing yesterday’s post and something popped in my mind:

I always get a lot of flack when I tell people I’m going to help them for free, because I really like helping other people succeed, and I’m always happy to see people who were having trouble starting up become success stories that largely surpass and outlast my own success.

Whenever I tell “I like to help people”, I always get the “yeah, right” stare.

So, as I was telling you, last night I was writing the other post, the image of people cringing their teeth when reading it, popped in my mind. I dismissed the thoughts, finished the post and didn’t think more of it… For about ten minutes!

You see, I usually check my email right before bed just to check if I have no costumer service enquiries to answer, since I live in a different time zone than most of my costumers and subscribers, and usually, support tickets come during the night. Anyway, as I did go trough my email, there was this one of Frank Kern (big guy in the Internet Marketing arena) with a link to his blog.

I took the bait, clicked the link and there was this video.

Tony Robbins speaking at TED. Finally someone explains why some people (all of us?) really like and need to help others.

So, if you cringed your teeth when reading yesterday’s post, rest assured that I really want you to succeed, and if that will allow you to buy stuff from me or from any of my future promotions, all the better; But if it doesn’t, nothing changes, and we’re friends like before.

One of my other goals is to build a community of like-minded individuals around this blog, so that experiences and can be shared and partnerships can be forged.

Does this sound that awful or that unlikely to happen?

Be active. Immerse yourself. Participate!
