As much as I admire you for all the success you have online, it's nice to see that you are human and also have things that didn't work out! (although, I think I have even more! need to work on my ratio of successes/failures...) Pat,

Even now I still have websites that aren't optimized for particular keywords. Frankly if I knew then what I know now I'd be a lot more successful. The wqay I started was by thinking if I could find a niche where I was an expert then get traffic from forums, SU, Technorati I'd be a made man. Trouble is what I know about doesn't pay well. Eventually I got sick of working hard for nothing. Now I own sites in dozens of niches and just write whenever I feel lije it, but they each get around 100 visitors per day and with so many sites I'm guaranteed of making money every month Great post, I started pretty much the same way, floating from one idea to the next and never really getting anywhere.

Although I am just getting started online really, the concept of failing to success is so right. When you mentioned the school comment I smiled as that is what I talk about all the time (ask my wife!). We are taught, or should I say the system teaches us NOT to fail. It says "You fail and it's bad". Rather than "Failing is part of winning, keep going and try again" Can you imagine if someone had told Edison that failing was bad? Would he have laughed? Yeah I am sure he would have done. What if they had taught him this when he was younger? Perhaps he may never have created so many inventions! Failing is part of the way we win. It's how the human success mechanism actually works. We fail, we learn and we improve. Trouble is some say that this is a mistake. The crazy thing is it's a failure NOT to fail. You HAVE to fail to succeed. If what you have said in this post is not true....then how did you and I learn to walk? Great content and site. I heard your story from Yaro Mastermind group. See you soon. Matt Hi Pat,

Also, if you stop at just one success, you miss the chance to succeed at other things. I tell my 15 year old son this all the time: failing is sometimes the best thing you can do. Learning what you're good at is great, but learning what you're not good at is just as important. And I think we all need to learn how to accept failure, and realize that if we fail at a task, we are not failures as individuals. Thanks for the thought provoking post. from another eHowian :) One cannot know what one will succeed at until one fails at something else…if you don’t try, and then fail, you won’t be motivated to try, and then succeed.
