Causality. You may have heard this word or heard someone utter this word before but have you ever asked yourself what does causality mean? How does it affect you? And most importantly, how does it affect your success?
Causality is derived from the words cause and effect. It basically means that for every action you take, there will be a reaction or consequence to that action. But will the reaction or consequence that occur be truly what you hope and want to achieve? Or will the reaction turn out being something you completely loathe and did not wish to obtain in the first place? For example, when you consume a sumptuous buffet of numerous exotic and mouth watering dishes and got gastric pains in your stomach, did you intend for that to happen in the first place or did you initially just want to fill up your empty stomach?
In fact, success is very much like the law of cause & effect. Success does not happen by chance. It is very dependent on the concise decisions and focus you make and the effective actions you take (cause). Only then will it be possible to see the positive results and outcomes that you intended to achieve (effect). This can be demonstrated by a simple analogy of a student who decides and focuses on scoring outstanding grades for his examination and studies hard and smart. Subsequently, he achieves remarkable grades and eventually tops his class.
Internet marketing is another very relevant example of how causality is very much correlated to success. A simplified example - an internet marketer may probably have the vision and focus of wanting to be wealthy. He then takes steps to attract traffic to his website, entice his customers with a striking sales letter, introduce unique products and provide substantial content. This will consequently generate massive sales and profits for his website and himself.
The testing and tracking of variables such as unique visitors, conversion rates, subscriptions, direct sales and affiliate sales, etc, obviously manifest the relevancy of the law of cause and effect especially in internet marketing - or in any area of life whatsoever.
So the next time you hear or think about causality, do yourself a big favour by asking yourself the following:
1) What decisions and choices do I want to make?
2) What specific, effective actions should I take?
3) How will these decisions, choices and actions affect my success?
4) Had my results and past successes been accidents? Or were they direct results of my taking specific actions?
There is definitely no doubt that you can achieve better degrees of success if you always bear in mind the law of cause and effect.
