I Was an Online Failure

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to put up a quick post and give a little encouragement.

Most of you know my story… but if you do not it is a pretty interesting one.

You see, it took me six years to start making a full-time living online. If I would have given up like most people do I would not be sitting here writing this post today.

You see, I am what you would call a classic failure. I failed at pretty much everything I tried. But, I do not consider it a failure. I considered it a learning experience.

You see, I believe that everyone needs an education. Whether you get the education in school, or you get that education through experience, you still need an education.

I happened to get my education through experience. I took all of the knocks. All of the disappointments. I turn those disappointments and those knockdowns into encouragement and started making real money online.

The reason why I’m so successful is not because I’m a genius. The reason why I am so successful is not because I know it all.

The reason I’m so successful is I never gave up. I refuse to let failure beat me. I refuse to let my dreams go. I knew if I just kept at it would work out some day.

And guess what. It did. Why? Because I kept taking action and I kept falling forward. Every failure led me to a new understanding of what to do and what not to do.

But, you do not need to take a long hard road. You can follow people like me and other people who are successful online.

You can take their advice and start doing what you need to do to make money online.

But, I will tell you this… the number one thing you need to do online is take action.

It does not matter if you are doing the wrong thing right now. You will find out sooner or later that it is not right.

So, if you want to start making money online you need to start doing something. I don’t care what it is, just don’t spam people and do not do things that are illegal.

But, you need to find one type of model and follow it. Do not deviate from that model just keep on plugging away.

That is still my problem today. I try to do too many things at one time.

So, stay focused and take action.

Regards,

Shannon Herod

    That was very nice. I felt that in my gut because I too am a failure. I fail at most everything I do. But like you I fail fast, or at least now faster than I used to, and then I pick myself up and move foward.

    Thanks for sharing!
