Baby Bird Marketing
I have a very touching story for you this morning about 2
baby birds and I’ll tell you how it relates to your
marketing in a moment.
When I’m sitting in the kitchen eating my breakfast, I can
see a bird’s nest on the downspout of my neighbor’s house.
It’s shaded from the rain and elements because it’s under
the roof.
Last year, a pair of Morning Doves made their home in the
nest. The mother laid her eggs and the father came to
relieve her when it was time for her to eat. Shortly after
the eggs were laid, baby birds appeared. Their little
featherless heads peaked out over the side of the nest and I
instantly “adopted” them in my mind.
Even though I didn’t disturb them, I felt a sense of
excitement as the little birds grew. I watched them as they
started growing feathers and their parents sat on the nest
to keep them warm for endless hours, but then horror
struck.
A pair of Crows found the Morning Dove’s hiding spot. They
attacked the Morning Dove and drove her off her nest,
leaving the babies helpless and vulnerable. The babies were
stolen from the nest and never had a chance to experience
the joy of life.
This year, the pair of Morning Doves came back. They
performed the same ritual. The eggs hatched, the babies
stuck their heads out and the parents sat on the nest to
keep the little ones warm. And this year, a new terror
appeared.
Suddenly, a cat in stealth mode was slinking across the
roof towards the birds. I jumped up from my breakfast and
ran out to scare the cat away. And it worked. The cat left.
For the past 5 days, the little birds have been standing up
in the nest flapping their wings, but not quite sure they
wanted to try flying. But this morning it happened. The
mother bird stood on the ground and the father bird stood on
the roof. The parents made cooing noises encouraging the
little birds to fly. And then it happened.
First, one little bird jumped out of the nest, flapped his
wings with all his might and glided to the ground where the
mother was waiting. Then the second little bird followed the
first.
The mother and father gathered around the babies and had a
pep talk and then flew away to get some food. The two little
birds stayed huddled together, testing out their legs and
flapping their wings. Then the mother and father came back
with a snack and fed them.
So there are two little birds walking around in my
flowerbed. They’re very vulnerable, because the cats in the
neighborhood can get them easily now, but they’re the same
color as dirt. So they’re well camouflaged.
So how does the saga of two little birds have anything to
do with marketing? It actually parallels most of us who try
to make a living online.
In the beginning, we are like the mother and father bird.
We have to find a place to nest. We have to find a niche in
the market where we can “set up shop.” It takes some time
for our ideas to incubate and hatch from the idea phase into
a new product.
And once we have our product created, we hope it will fly.
Quite often, our product doesn’t fly like we thought it
would. It’s like the baby birds who jump from the nest and
glide to the ground. They don’t crash, but they don’t
exactly take off.
And this is the stage where many entrepreneurs get
frustrated and give up. But this is a critical stage. The
next stage is learning to fly. To take your product to new
heights and soar with the Eagles, even if you are a Morning
Dove 
But there’s an easier way to make a living online.
What if you could skip all the hard work and learn to fly
without being stuck in the nest? What if you could follow a
10-step process that started generating a cash flow today
and it continued on for years and years?
You can. In fact, you could be enjoying sales by the end of
today. Sales that continue on and on and on, just by
following a simple 10 step process. And you can do it as
many times as you want.
You could retire by the end of the year if you wish.
Your first step is to watch a video that Dave Gale produced
and allowed me to post on my website. Right now it’s time to
spread your wings and take flight.
