Do you know who Marvin Williams is? The basketball player from the NC Tar Heels and now with the Atlanta Hawks? He played his high school ball around the Seattle, Washington area, so figured he was pretty popular in the American Northwest too. Well, he was doing an interview recently and it was one of those 30 minute interviews; where you get to know more info than needed. He talked about basketball and how the sport of basketball has took him to all the 4 corners on Earth and all of the great places, opportunities, and people he has met, due to basketball and it’s just basketball that brought him all of this wonderful stuff. He was very appreciate of these things and he gave all the credit to basketball. Not his hard work, natural talent, 6 foot 8 inch height, or these other things athletes tend to give credit for or they will praise a coach or parent for their success. Not Marvin, he pretty much gave basketball all the credit. I liked his answer because it was unique. I didn’t agree with him, because I think he owes some of the thanks to the things he did, like keep good grades and all the school work, the physical effort he gave in the gym, and things like that. He’s also been blessed due to the things he didn’t do, like hang out with the wrong crowds, drinking & driving, drugs, and other bad decisions he could have easily made.

I now know what Marvin means about basketball and it is the sport that deserves all the credit. No matter where he is at or what he might be doing, more than likely you can point to basketball for him anytime. I haven’t been as successful as Marvin in basketball, but have got to taste success with my blogs. I owe so much to my blogs and they have taken me to places I would have never got to without them. I believe I have what it takes to take the next steps up and move my blogs into a higher class of blogs. I have been above average for a couple of years now. I believe I am slowly forming a traffic empire online. My empire will be able to turn programs into goldmines and build huge downlines for any new programs I decide to join and promote all out. No matter how big my empire gets online or how much money I make, it will still fall back to my blogs and they’re the thing that separates me from most of the other online marketers today.

I think it’s amazing that I am about a dozen years older than Marvin Williams from the NBA, but was able to learn something from this young feller. He may not even realize what he knows or how valuable his way of looking at things really is. He was just speaking honestly and it came out in a natural conversation. I just didn’t know how to apply his respect for basketball into my world of online marketing. I think I can see the road map now and won’t truly know until I get there. What basketball means to Atlanta’s Marvin Williams is what my blogs mean to me. That might not sound like much, but it’s sometimes the small things that make the biggest differences and I can see how this is one of those times.
