Look, If You're Not Going To Grasp-The-Nettle, You Can Jolly Well Go And Eat It!

That's it! I've had it up to here with you lot! Week in and week out I point out how good it is to GRASP THE NETTLE and act decisively in your own favour by mastering the net and working at home on your own Internet business.

And what happens?

Next to nothing!!

At least 95% of you continue your sluggardly existence and do nothing (while the other 5% grasp all the rewards)!

You are a SHOWER!

Idlers one and all.

If you are not going to get up off your lethargic couch, GRASP THE NETTLE then you can jolly well go and EAT THE NETTLE instead!

And see if I care.

So there!

Then perhaps you will realize how much better it would be to put on your gardening gloves and grasp that nettle good and proper!

Still not convinced?

Oh well, check out this crazy link and you'll soon realize how much better it would be to GRASP THE NETTLE than to swallow it!

You see, it is that time of year where, down in the lovely West Country of Great Britain, where the people are all as mad as hatters, they hold the annual World Nettle Eating Championships.

To fully appreciate the event, check out the video. One of the contestants has some interesting stuff to say about goal setting, so take note all ye idlers, layabouts and giver-uppers:

"I think it's all about small targets. I think you've got to break it down to stalk by stalk... I think if you just think about... that bunch of nettles, mentally, you'd be shocked, so I'm going to take it almost leaf by leaf..."

So, what can the nutty nettle eaters down in Wessex teach us about Internet marketing?

Quite a bit, actually:

• Set big goals ("Eat 60-feet of nettles in an hour!")
  
• Break it down into smaller incremental steps ("Take it leaf by leaf!")
  
• It is better to wear gardening gloves ("Be prepared!")
  
• It is good to grasp the nettle ("Take action to achieve your goals")
  
• Grasp the nettle, but don't eat it. (Don't blindly swallow every offering that comes your way lest you get stung!")
  
• Well, if you're really going to eat your nettles, make sure you win! (It takes work to succeed, but grasping -or even eating - the nettle has it has its rewards...)

Hello, David:

Now that is an interesting intro and approach to delivering a message!

I did like the corelations to Internet Marketing at the end. Especially, take it "leaf by leaf."
