When monkey number two started beating shovel against bars of enclosure, Zoo Keeper did notice and his attention was completely diverted from first monkey. While Zoo Keeper crept up behind monkey with shovel, monkey number one dropped out of tree and upset Keeper’s cart, scattering all rubbish he had swept up.

At that moment, gate into enclosure opened and a Feeding Attendant brought in monkeys’ lunch. Monkey number one saw attendant and lost all interest in cap, which he dropped on ground. The second monkey threw shovel over his shoulder as he loped in direction of food.

The Keeper made most of this opportunity. He rescued his cap, picked up his shovel and walked back towards strewn litter. Unfortunately, on his way to gather up litter, he trod in a pile of monkey pooh and had to stop to scrape his shoe clean..

What does chasing after monkeys have to do with your Internet business?

When I am working at my home based business on Internet, I often feel as if I am trying to work in a cage full of monkeys. There are so many distractions, so many people trying to get your attention and lure you to their websites. If you do not remain focused on job in hand, working on internet can turn out very much like chasing monkeys. If you lose your focus, you will find yourself being led in every direction apart from one you intended to take. You will spend your morning chasing about and achieving nothing. Suddenly you will realise it’s lunchtime and you have still not managed to complete morning’s tasks. If you let this situation carry on, you are likely to find yourself in sort of mess that’s best tackled with a shovel.

3. There are new markets just begging for strong DM copywriters. There are plenty of industries that have been depending on direct response for decades: finance, health, magazines, cable TV, collectibles and more. These guys are always on look out for new writers. AND, there's one new industry that is literally starved of good direct response writers...the high tech industry, particularly in B2B area. If you have an interest in high tech, here's a niche that will drive you to that 6-figure income very, very quickly.

If you already have strong direct response copywriting skills, be sure to do some research in high-tech area.
