Understanding the gun before pulling the trigger
This is a continuation from a discussion I started yesterday. I thought it deserved its own discussion. Here we go!
To what level of depth does one need to understand the gun before pulling the trigger?
Does dumb luck ever play a place in contagiousness, or is it always created through precise action?
I think that’s a big question a lot of people need to know. I mean, If you are trying affiliate program after program, business model after business model for years, then all of a sudden, some obscure thing you did takes off, was it the work you put in or luck?
Are there people in this forum or out there that made millions after literally one month. I mean, not the exagerated half true stories that flood the net of
“Learn how I made 80 million dollars in 17 seconds from home in my underwear without wiping the drool from my mouth or taking my morning pee.”
A lot people can do numbers like that I suppose, but it usually takes years to figure out the strategy.
I wanna know, who are the real internet prodigies. No experience, no inclination, no idea what they’re doing, just dumb luck, making fortunes. I heard of some girl that made myspace layouts for her high school friends. No marketing experience. Not thinking about money. Now she does 1 million a year, employing her family. She probably has no idea to this day what SEO stands for.
“The harder I work, the luckier I get.” True statement. But not always true. I know people that sometimes over analyze things so much they never get a chance to take action because someone else exploited the opportunity before them or, they analyzed it to the point where they diluted the opportunities essence and the core of the call to action is no longer the focus of the strategy, which usually turns out to failure.
Geometric progression, the power of compounding, the fact that the more content you put out there for a long period of time, the more it works in your favor with exposure, is an amazing force to reckon with on the internet but still. Is that what is solely responsible for success?
This more of rant than anything else but I felt it needed to be said.
So what do the novice to the experts think. The floor is yours
