Let me explain.
You see ants have certain qualities that we need to possess if we want to succeed online.
They are as follows:
They are persistent little boogers! Just when you think you have gotten rid of them, they find a way to come back and they will continue to do so even when they are knocked down or wiped out again and again.
They are focused on that sweet chocolate cookie, or in our case online profits, and they will not stop until they get it.
When they encounter an obstacle they explore new routes, they will do this until they find the best path thus becoming successful in getting what they want.
We need to be like this also and know that no matter what gets in our way we need to pick ourselves back up and continue onward, even if it means changing paths so that we too can be rewarded with our own sweet chocolate cookie!
They adapt to their environment.
Ants form colonies that are nearly impossible to eliminate.
One of the reasons why they have colonized almost every landmass on earth is their ability to adapt and modify their habitats.
Being able to adapt is something we all must do especially in the online world.
The worldwide web changes daily and we definitely need to keep up with the times or we will fall behind.
What has worked before in driving traffic may not work now or even five years from now. Although, certain key principals stay the same.
The fact remains that we don’t know how much longer it will be around or the effectiveness of it.
For example :
Social Media has taken the world by storm and is a force to be reckoned with.
There is even a dedicated Social Media day which was June 30th.
Its forever changing and again we need to adapt to stay in the game and profit.
They work together.
Ants work together as a unified entity, collectively working to support their colony.
One ant by itself would not be able to accomplish anything but when you have a bunch of them working together then they are powerful!
If you read my recent post I talked about outsourcing and how it is important to leverage yourself.
Not only will you get a lot of things done, but it also frees up your time in order to do the things that you want to do. If you have the help of others then you cannot fail.
Another way to work together is to develop a group of like-minded people that share the same goals and aspirations as you.
If you are involved in group joint ventures like I am, then you can find other webmasters within that group to communicate and collaborate with.
Otherwise, there are different forums you could search for online in your chosen niche that you could join to meet with other like-minded people.
Additionally, blog commenting and being a regular reader of a couple of different blogs will help you grow relationships as well.
There are countless ways of meeting people and connecting with them so get the support you need and work with others to accomplish your goals, it’s a win-win situation for everyone.
So although ants have their ways about them and despite that they show up in my kitchen cabinet regularly, there are a lot of valuable lessons that we could learn from them.
They are so tiny yet powerful, are a part of our life cycle and are here to stay.
So do you have what it takes to be an ant in the online world to succeed?
Establish your presence, be persistent, adapt to the changes around you and work together with others to let the world know you are a force to be reckoned with and are here to stay!
