Never Settle
After reading a few blogs on here the other day that put a realistic perspective on things, I'll admit I got a quite discouraged. But on the flip side, it was a true eye opener. If you're gonna survive in this online jungle, you really have to get creative and think outside the box.
In my mind, doing one thing will likely not get me to where I need to be. Some have great success with Affiliate Marketing and SEO, and some never get off the ground. By why stop there? If you fail at one form of marketing, try something else. If you master this form of marketing, go master something else. Either way don't stop!
For example, my website is a mess. Which is fine. I will make it more of a mess until it flows how I want it. I've turned it into a 3-headed monster. Three niches on one site! (Don't yell at me Kyle) In a general sense, it's Internet marketing, travel, and photography. (Yes I'm a glutton for punishment and stacking ridiculous odds against myself lol) Maybe my niche should be "conquering what seems impossible" haha!
Eventually they will all be bridged together to form one big recognizable brand that represents the journey to work from anywhere to create wealth, and freedom. One niche will open the door to the other, which will lead to the other. It's kinda like a building under construction. Beautiful on the outside, but the inside makes no sense whatsoever yet lol. Not according to what I envision anyway. This has to be done just right, or else it will surely fail. Right now my little pages and blog posts are to get experience and find my flow/rhythm that will take this site in the right direction. The tweaking is constant. (Ideas are always welcome!)
It'll either be the stupidest idea ever, or maybe grow into the next big thing in a year or two. And I know that bigger ideas = bigger criticism. GO BIG OR GO HOME!! I know I'm likely not going to make any money or get huge traffic in the next year or so while this newborn baby site continuously changes andmatures. Either way I'm having a blast and win or lose I'm proud of what I'm creating and I'm passionate about it. But I'm doing things this way because I don't want to settle. I want to evolve. I'm even researching other forms of marketing to build this brand. My marketing wont stop at SEO.
The point of all of this is: Whatever your goals are... Whether they are fitness goals, career goals, whatever it may be, DO NOT SETTLE. Forward progress will completely stop when you settle. Guaranteed. Keep evolving! I know from experience in many aspects of life.
Wow what the heck happened? This was supposed to be one small paragraph to show you this cute little picture I made last night.

Great uplifting post Danny.
Whether your niches are going to work out, I don't know, but I can kind of see it working and a challenge I would certainly be prepared to take on myself. My brain is already thinking on the possibilities? Watchout ! ; )
You have a great attitude that will put you miles ahead of many others. To be truly successful in this business you must be prepared to take risks, try new unproven ideas and fail. YES, you read that right. Failure is all a part of the process. Many will never move forward with their business because they are afraid of failure.
SSh! Don't tell anyone here, but the majority of new Internet Marketers will fail, not necessarily because they have chosen the wrong niche but because they do not have or are not willing to develop the right mind set. Go get 'em!

Many people do just settle......or quit! There is so much to learn and incredible opportunities standing right in front of us. Gotta just Go For It! :-) Have a fantastic weekend!
Danny, I think analysing your own work in an open way is one of the building blocks of success.
It always takes courage to do that, but in the end, we save ourselves a lot of trouble.....
I think your success will be great and very satisfying.....
Cheers

Thanks so much Therese. That's good because I'm my own toughest critic lol. But bringing it out in the open is pretty new to me so this was a good start :)
Hey! I figure if Martha Stewart why can't you? She's got a ton going on on her site. It's possible...anything is possible ;-)
That's the problem....you start out with what you think is a quick point and then your brain starts going crazy! LOL ! Good luck, I know about making mistakes, I make massive amounts until I get it right!
