Are you insane?

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein


Sometimes we are so close to something that we really don't have a clear enough perspective on what we are doing, so we just keep doing the same thing over and over, even if it doesn't work, and expect the result to somehow change, even if it doesn't work!

I have done this many times especially when learning something new. If something didn't work I guessed that I didn't follow the process exactly the right way so I repeat it again and again but still the result doesn't change it still doesn't work. Why? Why? I can hear myself saying as I become even more frustrated.

But then I take a step back and look at it from a different perspective, give it some space, which seems to give me more clarity around what the issue might be. So I have another go and miraculously this time it works. Yay!!

Internet Marketing is very much like this. If you don't seem to be getting the results that you are after take a step back and look at what is working even if it the smallest thing. Work out why it works and then 'rinse and repeat'. If something isn't working than work out why and change it. Have a go at a few different things until you hit on the right formula and then 'rinse and repeat"

Otherwise you really could go insane!!

I know the feeling...it helps to see what others who are succeeding are doing so I check their sites et al and see how they do things and tweak mine accordingly...That really helps too.

It is good to learn from other who have been successful. Gai

had a similar experience last night - left it for a day to let it breathe and finally got it resolved today - i must admit i was close to going postal - lol

I think letting it breathe is a great strategy because it gives you time to breathe as well. gai

I was thinking the same thing in my own struggle to get on with the learning curve.

Sometimes it helps to step back and look at things a bit differently. Gai

God, grant me the courage to change the things I Can..... Spot on Gai

I had that plaque in my office, but I had the alternate ending about hiding the body on people that annoyed me. LOL Gai

Hi Gai, Thanks for this - very true. I had an instance of this recently where I couldn't figure out what was going on. Went back to basics, checked the training manual from 30 Day Success Club and the light bulb went on as they say.
Have a great weekend,

Hudson

Its interesting I have done something similar as mostly I find it is what's in your blindspot that you might miss on the first run through. Gai
