In our businesses, the books we write, the accomplishments we have, the goals we make...it's good to be "the first".
We have been hearing alot about "The first" African-American president.
In the presidential race, there was a possibility of having "the first" woman president.
We celebrated "the first" man on the moon.
"Firsts" always get celebrated
A great marketing strategy is to be "the first" in anything in your industry, ministry, or area of expertise.
It doesnt even have to be good...it just has to be first.
Being "the first" anything attracts the attention of the media.
"The first" anything does well on the web.
Having "the first" anything will drive traffic to your website
Being "the first" may bring you fame, but not fortune. It all depends on what you are looking for or can benefit from. Converting that "first" to cash is a whole other skill set, but it can be done.
In 2009, I have lots of ideas for "firsts" in my career.
What can you be "the first" in?
