Only Constant is Change

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the state of my website. I really didnt like much about its state at all. It was at best a half-hearted attempt with a few moments of inspiration.

I was ready to walk away and just throw in the towel. When I say I was close to quitting I mean I was close. Talked to site support about getting my URL taken off the server. I was done.

Finally, I just decided that what I really needed was a long, good nights sleep and if I still wanted to quite in the morning I could.

I woke up still in a foul mood and much of this day has been a nightmare to say the least, but in the end it all turned around.

Perspective Can be a Game Changerger

As I was drinking an afternoon cup of coffee I ask myself out loud do you really want to be a marketer or are you just bored and looking for something new to keep you occupied?

this made me sit back and think long and hard. It was in this moment that a resounding I have to because I can't quite went through my mind.

You see I've always had this notion that quitting was failure by default. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with failure. Rather, failure is just a teachable moment that we can learn from. It's where we can analyze what's was working and what wasn't and make adjustments.

Failure by default, that is to say quitting is never OK. It is a moment in life where you've resigned yourself to the assumption that you are incapable of something. That you can not learn from. Not to mention that all things being equal is most likely a false statement.

If I had quite, just walked away from what I started I would have been a hypocrite. After I've used the above statement to encourage so many to not take my own advice when I most needed it. I'd never expect anyone to trust again and not should they.

The truth is I wasn't really giving my all to my business or the community. Lately my life has just been complicated to say the least. So I put the site under Maintenance and decided that I need to focus on the community and training programs for a while. Get back to basics as it were.

I need to take some time to focus on learning how to be a marketer online first so that when I come out with my business I'll be swinging for the fences.

I said when I started this journey that I was in it ride or die and I meant every word. These last few weeks have been nothing but curve balls and with my glasses I can't see across the street let alone hit the curve. ( can you tell I must love baseball).

So anyways I am here to stay. WA and this community we've all worked to build up each and every day is my home and I count each and every one of you a friend even if we haven't officially met.

So keep an eye out this month as I'm going to be around quite a bit. I've got a lot to learn and I know each of has something to gain on from another.
