Pick Yourself Up, Dust Yourself Off, And Move On
This is a tale of mindset and rolling with the punches.
My top passive income earning site just got some kind of Google slap. At least I think so. It's been firmly entrenched in the Top 10 for months and earning nice money from a couple of hands-off sources. All of the other sites ranked around it for the past few months are still there, occupying the high ground as usual. My site is still indexed, so it's not a question of being booted out of Big G. But it isn't coming up for any of the major keywords any longer.
I've gone from several thousand unique visitors each day from that site to 50 today.
OK, so what I want to stress here is that how you react to the bad mojo is often what determines your long-term success in this crazy business.
For about 10 minutes I kind of sat here at my desk in stunned disbelief. I ran through the rolodex of things that I thought might have caused this to happen. I considered the hit to my family's income this represents. It's not insignificant, ok.
And then I put it all aside. I moved on.
And that's really my point here. When bad stuff happens out of the blue like this - without any real rhyme or reason - you cannot allow yourself to wallow. You cannot allow the event to derail your overall plans and goals. I needed those 10 minutes to be sad, shocked, and upset. That's human nature. To deny an emotional reaction would also have been wrong. So I let it play out. But not for very long.
See, at the end of the day, it's about what I can do. It's about what I've learned over the years. And it's about being confident that 'this too shall pass.'
It's about never letting a setback dictate how you conduct yourself and your business.
When I was newer to all of this, something like this would have festered in my head and devastated me. I'd have been its slave for weeks. And meanwhile, very little else would have gotten done. And then, after all that time of trying to "figure out why," I'd still have had to get back on the horse and pick back up where I left off. That part NEVER changes.
Roll with the punches. It's all you can do.
Please take this to heart the next time you get slapped around by the whims of Big G.
