In preparation for this lesson we need to know that cause is an action that results in a movement. You also need to know that effect is the end result of the action.
Okay, we'll start off easy.
If the cause is a boy teasing a dog then the effect may be a dog barking at a boy.
If the cause is a student studying for a test then the effect may be a better grade than if they had not studied.
If the cause were a woman opening a bottle of water the effect may be access to liquid refreshment.
If the cause is a business owner marketing their website the effect may be more visitors and improved cash flow.
And finally, if the cause is a business owner who pays no attention to marketing the effect will be minimal visitation and very few sales.
All right the technical aspect of the lesson is over, now on to some practical applications.
Everything we do in life is subjected to the ebb and flow of cause and effect. Every action we can supply will result in a return answer for that action. Sometimes the effect is positive and sometimes it can cause us to revisit the cause.
Online business is constantly subjected to the world of cause and effect. These two terms are inextricably linked.
Did you know that even inaction is a cause and it usually has a negative effect when applied to business?
The role of online business is to use the greatest cause to exact the greatest effect. In other words if you want a positive outcome you must enact a cause that corresponds well with a positive effect.
Sometimes we sabotage our own efforts by setting a negative cause in motion and then wonder why we see very little beyond a negative ending.
If you want your business to succeed you need to work to ensure you set in motion those things that will contribute to your overall success. That means that you don't simply ‘wing' it, rather you devise a plan that considers what effect will likely occur in response to the cause you enact.
Your decisions need to be forward thinking. If, when you follow a decision to its logical conclusion you determine it will have a negative effect then the idea should be abandoned even if it seemed initially positive.
For instance you might envision a contest for your website, but the structure of the contest could result in misunderstanding and accompanying liability. In this scenario dropping the idea and finding a new cause with a better effect might best serve you.
What that means is your business should have strategic planning that will enable you to move forward having looked at your actions from multiple angles. Only then should you make a decision based on that information.
This whole article boils down to the old adage, “A failure to plan is a plan to fail.”
Examples Of Cause And Effect
The last few days, I spent a bit of time explaining the deeper aspects of the workings of "The Seven Basic Laws Of Nature" to one of my students. She is the top sales person in her industry and is very well known for her ability to achieve the goals that she sets for herself. Personally, I have a lot of respect for her, as she is simple, kind and truthful.
Recently, she had a number of negative experiences that brought her great awareness with regards to the workings of the Law of Cause and Effect.
In other words, the Law of Cause and Effect was catching up with some of her negative thoughts, words and actions in the past. As per the saying, "What goes around comes around". These negative thoughts, words and actions were done prior to her knowing of the laws of nature. As I was explaining it to her, she became aware that the effects that she was going through now was due to her past thoughts, words and actions, also known as the cause.
Although she understood it intellectually, yet the negative emotions she was feeling were causing havoc on her intellectually, emotionally and physically. She was actually falling sick. She was at her office yesterday morning and she SMSed me through her mobile phone and told me of her condition. She also could not do any sales due to the heavy feeling in her heart.
Instantaneously, I replied the following:
"The one thing that keeps the universe continuously evolving and becoming better is a phenomenal force called GOD! Guess what? You are directly linked to this great force just like every single person on this planet! So get your butt moving, focus on your goals and show that you are indeed worthy to be a part of this great force! Just do it!"
Later in the evening, she called to thank me and said that she felt better after the reading the message I had sent her and also she did a lot more sales for the day than she did for the whole of last week. She said that she actually laughed out loud after reading my reply. The next thing she knew was she was back in action and doing her sales. Then she asked me what happened to her.
Then, with a long sigh, I said, "nature helps a person to analyze his or her mistakes and creates awareness to ensure the similar mistakes are not made again. Thus, slowly allowing one to escape the endless cycle of cause and effect one at a time. In this way, Nature helps one to build the inner self and external character to achieve his or her goals and eventually do what the person came to this planet to do, which is also known as, the mission in life".
Then jokingly I said, "However, all that jazz about the seven basic laws of nature gives explanations and creates awareness but at times it leaves a bad taste in the mouth as we tend to feel bad when we began to recognize and become aware of our past negative thoughts, words and actions which were done without much awareness. However, that which gets us to move on with life is the ability to learn from the mistakes, look beyond it and of course the ability to laugh at ourselves. The message I sent you, simply made you see a glimpse of the bigger picture and gently telling you that there is nothing that can be done to change the past, but we must not let it mess up and bog down our present. That is all my friend."
We both laughed as I finished saying this. She thanked me again and I wished her the best and ended the conversation.
