IS “FAILURE THE MOTHER OF ALL SUCCESSES” ?

There is an ancient Chinese proverb when literally translated goes by the phrase, “Failure Is The Mother Of All Successes”.

I’m sure some of you must have heard of this famous phrase before, but have you given any thought into whether how true this phrase is?

For those who fell in the pursuit of their dreams and ambitions, but have managed to pick themselves up after falling and learned from their mistakes, this phrase certainly holds true.

But what about those who failed and never recovered?

How many have never reflected on what went wrong and never learned from their mistakes?

What are the odds of that happening? Probably more than you can imagine.

Personally, I have struggled aimlessly in the vast internet marketing realm; failing after multiple times before I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

During that time, I have bought so many “Get Rich Quick” programs and “Self Help Home Study Courses” that I have totally lost track of the countless stuff that are stacked away somewhere on my hard-disk.

I even attended a couple of Internet Marketing Seminars that costs thousands of dollars for a single day event and didn’t have the faintest idea what I got out of it after I went home.

And I wasn’t the only seminar participant who felt that way. Many fellow participants simply gave up and faded into oblivion.

However, one thing’s for sure, I was almost on the verge of depleting all my hard earned savings and ruining my marriage because of all these wild spending that apparently did not yield any significant results.

The only thing I learned from all my multiple failures is “WHAT NOT TO DO” instead of “WHAT REALLY WORKS”.

I knew I had to re-think my strategy for online success before I totally ruin my life on internet marketing programs that didn’t seem to get me anywhere.

So I began back-tracking and reviewing all the materials that I actually paid decent money for, even participated more pro-actively in Internet Marketing Forums so as to find out what fellow internet marketers are thinking and doing.

This time, I had a simple strategy, and that is to be selective and focus on achieving what is commonly termed as the “Lowest Hanging Fruit” in internet marketing.

There are countless different internet business models that you can go into; typical examples include Affiliate Marketing, Blogging, and E-Bay etc.

Simply decide on the business model that suits your personality most and “Stick” to it.

If Affiliate Marketing is your cup of tea, then by all means strive to be the most successful Affiliate Marketer there.

But remember, do pick up the basics first before you rush head first into any business venture.

You certainly do not want to start “Running” before you even learn how to “Walk” or risk falling flat on your face.

Ultimately, after much research and self-reflection on the countless mistakes I made, I reached a generic conclusion why so many aspiring internet marketers fail to even make a single dollar online.
