Winning is all about failing!
Often people think that being a success is about growth....it never feels that way!
Most times I blunder around, knock into this, knock into that but eventually something clicks and I am not tripping over so much (we are talking metaphorically), I have learned something and mastered it!
So if you really want to be successful get ready for a lot of disappointment, a lot of rejection, a lot of I told you that wouldn't work and what are you doing that for?
If you put all your energy into your success, at some point the walls will fall down, and you might be a bleeding mess....but the rewards far outweigh the blood, sweat and tears!
WOW! That was a bit heavy wasn't it?
Truth be known I am an expert at failing...if there is a hole, I will fall into it but I will find my way out, eventually ...... and no I didn't have any encouraging parents....I wasn't going to amount to much, if only he would try harder! I worked my a** off...but I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed for a very long time...but I have honed my blade and it's pretty sharp now, not intellectually, but businessy (I know that word doesn't exist!) wise I am!
So for all you newbies who want to be rich by tomorrow....you're gonna have to put in the hours and years, and yes some people are quicker than others, you can only go at your pace....other people's pace is not relevant to you!
Sorry about the slap around the face but I want to see you being (and I mean being not become, because that implies you've arrived then you'll head off to the beach...NO!) successful and I know what it takes.....I have grown businesses and now I am at the bottom again in an online business of which I have no idea of how to succeed at yet....but I will!
Enjoy your life and get out there...achieve your dreams in spite of your naysayers!

Good read! I am certainly failing right now if you look at it that way. But I'm still moving toward success.
Thanks for your thoughts Michael. They are reassuring for us newbies! I look forward to sharing this journey of success with you.
All the Best

Up and down most the time. Can be done. Not enough believe, we have to maintain step by step action.
Well, you have the right attitude and that is most of the battle. The techy stuff, you just have to ask here and there is always someone who will help. That is certainly been my experience.
Some people are quite content to stay at the bottom of the mountain, and even to live in a valley. But for me, I want to climb a mountain. And I am already hiking up that mountain trail. I may met a mountain lion, stumble and fall, be bitten by mosquitoes, need to stop and rest for awhile, but I want to keep going. . .
If it was handed to us on a plate Brian we'd all be lying on the beach and nothing would get done! Thanks for commenting here!
If we are going to fall into holes, which we have. Might as well have a beer so we can blame it on something.
That sounds like a good idea Mike...lol ! Maybe someone could put a beer in those holes?
It is a shame I read your title twice! I thought you said "falling" rather than failing.
As a baby boomer (falling a lot) I could have said - I am a WINNER!
Oh well!
Falling, failing...not much difference, it's all the same to us baby boomers Steve!...LOL!

When your climbing that mountain, if you look at the beauty, of it , you won't even notice the mozzie. Bites, or the mountain lion, you will be in awe of the beauty surrounding you .... :0) oh Mike, you could change that affirmation, "I am an expert at failing" you know it could become a belief... JK...
I will stop and take a look at the view as I am climbing, it's beautiful, even part of the way up. :)
lol....an expert at failing...I wonder if that would look good on my resumé?
You don't need a resume now, your self employed... Xx
Thank you Bea and thanks for the kisses..back at you!
And what are you doing up so late you should be in bed... :0) lol
You are right Bea...but I am up watching a movie...'the Specialist'..lol!
Okay, well I'm off to slumber land... Nite nite...
Nite, nite!
