I wanted to post this email I got since it
really points out that failure and mistakes
don't magically stop once you have arrived
at your definition of success.

Hey Bruce,
Kyle here.
I just wanted
to fill you in on a recent
failure...
Actually a few of
them!
Actually a whole bunch of them!!!
If it sounds like I fail
all the time, it
is because I do. I bet you I fail way
more than you!
I
know what you are saying, yeah right,
if you failed you wouldn't own a community
like Wealthy Affiliate.
My response to that:
That is WHY I own Wealthy
Affiliate.
Failure is a part of business and is a very
exciting part of
what Carson and I have been
doing since 2002 online.
Failures happen all
the time. Some of them
small, some of them big.
What if we told you we
spent $200K
on a project that flopped recently.
Stuff like this happens,
and it is part of
business. A failure is a success in a way,
it is all about
how you approach failure.
Instead of looking at a failure like a
"game ender",
I have always looked at a
failure like a learning experience.
When I fail, I
become more powerful...more knowledgeable...more resourceful...more
efficient...and ultimately, more profitable!
One of the greatest
inventions
was the lightbulb.
How many times do you think Thomas Edison
failed
at the creation of this before he
got it right?
10, 20,
50...WRONG!
OVER 1000 attempts! He didn't quit, yet today
we don't have
to suffer through reading in a
candle lit room because he is a complete
failure...
Failure leads to success.
Actually, I will rephrase
that:
"How you deal with failure, will determine
if and how successful
you become."
I want you to make a deal with me today.
Going
forward from today on, you will not look
at any failure as something that will
take you
out of Internet marketing. This could be a failed campaign, losing money in adspend, or writing 10 articles and seeing no results.
None of
this would be a failure in my book
because you have learned something from
this.
Maybe next time you will set-up your campaign a
little different,
or how about setting your bid
prices differently and creating more relevant
landing pages, or how about writing articles that
are more relevant to the
product you are promoting
and submitting them to a different
directory.
Each failure is an incremental improvement.
I can't wait to
see where another year of me and Carson's failures is going to take our
business...
you should be thinking the same thing.
Please fail...then
improve...and then succeed!
Take it easy!
