Do you market or buy books about how to get the right attitude?
It has come as nothing of a surprise to me that many internet marketers purvey things like 'The Secret', The law of Attraction', Positive(ly) Mental Attitude, The Millionaire Mind Set and other crap that is supposed to tune your mind onto some magical wavelength that will enable you to walk on water, die under an avalanche of beneficence and have your business build up around you simply because you bought the product, read the book, adopted the mantras and lied to yourselves about the benefits you were obtaining.
Nor does it surprise me when somebody posts a subject like "Thanks to my Andy Capp attitude rectification course I can now drink beer, get drunk and not feel guilty" to see that there is an almost sycophantic rush to post that most vomit causing post of all "Oooooh! Super post!"
LISTEN UP; PEOPLE!
If you are a warm, flesh and blood being it is absolutely impossible for you to learn from the mistakes of others. This is a lesson I learned very early in life when saw my very first 'wet paint' sign. Not because I had to test the paint but because I had to test the paint immediately after my Dad tested the paint! The fact he got paint on HIS finger did not convince me and my inquisitive mind.
Look back over your life (even if you can't look back as far as I can) and honestly point to a single occasion when you learned something because of somebody else's experience (please, wise acres, do not prattle on about academic subjects here - I am talking about LIFE).
Better still, try to be brutally honest with yourselves and then tell me that you learned NOT to sell a certain idea because you saw or read about somebody else who failed to sell it. (Hold on Old Coot, nobody published such a story! Of course not, they lie!)
Think back to your childhood (I never really had one so I decided to reinvent it when I was 17) and try to remember what you did with the very best advice that could ever be given to you. You ignored it, didn't you? We all did. This is why human children are dependent upon their parents for such a long time - we are programmed to test things for ourselves. We might be taught by example but we don't learn by example - we learn by the exuberant adoption of superior knowledge until experience shows it wasn't so superior at all.
Get a life, please.
When you get your life LIVE IT! Grab everything that it offers you and squeeze the best out of it. Accumulate a wealth of experience and knowledge and try to pass it on to others, who, like you, will only learn from their own direct experience but might modify some small aspect of what they do based upon what you experienced and told them about.
Stop letting people who don't know you, don't know your capacity, don't know your capabilities, don't know your likes, dislikes and dreams - stop them trying to tell you that you are doing it all wrong! Be true to yourself and LIVE!
Just a little secret - this is not a rehearsal!
The biggest benefit of the internet is that almost everything can be automated.
The biggest curse of the internet is that almost everything can be automated.
