Recently, I was chastised by a few friends. Mostly because they don’t understand what I’ve been doing the last year. In their view I’m a scattered brained chump who jumps around a lot. And truthfully that’s the honest god awful truth.
I’ve travelled to 10 major cities, I’ve held down multiple occupations, and I’ve lived from luxury to poverty twice backwards sometimes fully sober, sometimes fully drunk.
The Year 2006 Was About Learning.
Perseverance is probably my biggest lesson. I work online for a living developing niche sites. I’ve sold a lot of “underperformers” that later went on to become big earners. One of my sites I’ve sold recently was resold for a higher value. Showing me again I’m on the right path. Another one of my sites makes upwards of 700 dollars a month after I sold it for around 700 dollars. So that new owner is banking 100% Profit off of their initial investment every single month.
The Key thing I’ve learned in all of this is. Perseverance is the best educational tool. If you keep building sites and you keep learning from mistakes and errors you will formulate a guide in your head of what you need to do. In all of this. In whatever work you do. Persevere.
Perseverance is an art of just being able to overcome all adversities joyfully. And while I wish my friends wouldn’t question my every move. I’m glad they do. It keeps me on my toes. It keeps me toiling away persevering. Always coming up with a stronger game plan.
Next Year will be great for me. Have you come up with a game plan yet for 2007?
If you haven’t its never too early to start planning your big year of success.
