What Happens When You Don't Know
Last year I heard of a young man, a school dropout, from Zimbabwe Maxwell Chikumbutso who invented a green generator. He couldn't get his invention patented however because it defied the laws of physics.
I found that reasoning mind buggling because it seems to me the laws of physics are simply wrong. After all the generator exists. What could be more obvious.
I've read the newspaper account and read his story of his journey in his own words. Quite simply this school dropout's mind was not shackled by the term IMPOSSIBLE.
Once upon a time we knew it was IMPOSSIBLE to operate on the heart. After all how could you stop the heart without the patient dying.
We also knew the earth was flat and it was IMPOSSIBLE to sail around it.
Every now and again I am amazed by children who do the IMPOSSIBLE because we are not born knowing what is possible and what is not.
Now in my short journey here I have learnt that there are persons here more than a year who are not yet turning a profit. While I do not have the magic formulae I wish to challenge you to think outside the box. I bet if you think on it you could find a way to turn things around.
Or how about this excuse, I can't do it because I'm not tech savvy. Do you know that mountain is scaleable if only you want to overcome it?
Those who need to, find a way, everyone else find excuses.
On this platform we have members who willingly disclose their income, proving that it is all too possible. I encourage you to evaluate your business and the strategies you are using, create a plan then work that plan.
World changers are those whose minds aren't shackled by IMPOSSIBLE.

Well written, Candy The possibilities is limitless when we remove that blocking point "impossible", "can´t" and so on, that we have been indoctrinated to believe while growing up.
If we see that what we do is not working as good as it should we need to take a closer look at what we need to tweak to reach our goals! If anyone doesn´t see any revenue after one year, you are doing something wrong or it is not one of your goals for the first year.
The more famous people around the world we see having success, how many times they missed their targets before getting to where they are now?
Remember the birth of the telegraph, phone or radio. That was impossible, not long ago. It was also impossible to drive faster than 30 kph, you would die if you tried it.
Just 100years ago, we had barely begun to fly aeroplanes, now we have spacecraft form our beautiful planet that is travelling in interstellar space!
If we want results, we need to do the right thing and adjust if the right thing is not the right thing after all.....hmmm that sounded better in my head than down on "paper" 😄
Thank you for an important wake-up call!

You are welcome Roy.
Those are the things we do when we know it's make it or break it time. We adjust, we try again. We take every opportunity and work it until we get results.
When you know there is no other way impossible just don't stop us.

Thank you Candy for a thought provoking post. A reminder that if you have a deep desire to succeed and you put in the work, you will succeed.
Candy, You've made some very profound points; coincidently I start to shift my thinking a few days ago, some ideas came to me that I hadn't considered before to make it possible.
This post helps confirms that.
"Every now and again I am amazed by children who do the IMPOSSIBLE because we are not born knowing what is possible and what is not."
The above made me stop and think, I especially like that.
For a moment I took a mini journey through my childhood, and really connected.
Nice post, thank you Candy.
Melanie
You are welcome Melanie. Now I'll look forward to hearing how you turn that impossible situation around because I know you can.
Here's to your success.

Hi Candy, you write some awe-inspiring posts and they are very encouraging to read.
The dropout's mind was not shackled by the impossible. Wow.
All the best,
Michael
Hi Michael when you think about it you'll see that we work within the bounds of what we know or are taught so when we don't know it's impossible we do the most amazing IMPOSSIBLE things.
History is full of such people some stories aren't even recorded but are told in different cultures until they become folklore.
I'm happy that I could encourage you. I hope that all WA will continue to be encouraged by these blogs.

Great post, Candy! I am here primarily for the hosting at this stage. My sites are geared towards promoting my own physical business interests, and it is a long term goal of mine--there is no specific timetable, so I'm good. Eventually, I might even pursue Affiliate marketing--that was a bonus of this platform which I didn't even know about early on!

Well I trust you are getting what you came for Jeff.
