It has been a while since I did my last post here. Sorry Linda, but I was, correction, are still slammed with work that it is not funny anymore.
I keep my post short (promises).
The question is not really what I would do different if I could go back in time and start over. It is more of a question of: What would I NOT do again, if I could go back in time.
I don't know if anybody here was turning everything into traffic and commission "gold" that he or she "touched". I can only speak for myself and say, nope. Most stuff did not turn into anything no matter how hard I tried, other stuff turned to ugly rust, some to silver and only a fraction into gold.
Now if I would create a pie chart, sum up the time spent on to each of the 4 results: turned to rust, to nothing, silver and gold and look at it, the Gold slice will be a very small piece compared to the other 3.
Since the speculation is what I would do different if I could go back in time with my knowledge today, I would NOT do any of the stuff that turned to rust, nothing or silver unless it is a requirement to turn something to gold and just concentrate on the gold "nuggets", no learning curve and no waste of time on pointless stuff that results in nothing but an experience (which is gold today
)
For the newbies, every failure is another experience that nobody can take away from you. Nobody who is successful today had never a failure before. People are where they are today because of their failures and mistakes. The is no easy street to success! Period! Anybody who tries to sell you something , claiming that it is easy and a sure thing for success is full of crap and somebody you should avoid.
This is my contribution to this topic.
