Instant Success or Gradual Improvement?
by Michael Southon
We live in a culture of instant success.
This is especially so on the Internet. Everyone wants
to become an 'Overnight Millionaire', 'Retire
Quickly', 'Get Rich Quick', and so on.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work - except in rare cases.
But here's a system that does work - it's called
evolution or Gradual Improvement and Nature has been
doing it for millions of years.
Nature operates through trial and error. It's
constantly experimenting, testing. Each generation
produces new mutations. Some succeed, some don't.
Those that succeed become the basis for the next
advance, and so on.
And that's also the secret of successful web marketers
- trial and error. They constantly test. Sometimes it
works, sometimes it doesn't. When they find something
that works, they improve on it. Each tiny success
becomes the platform for the next success, and so on.
In fact, people who succeed in any walk of life do so
not because they discover a 'formula for success', but
because they learn how to deal with failure.
Thomas Edison, when asked if he felt discouraged by
the 1,073 failures he had before inventing the
electric light bulb, replied "I did not fail 1,073
times, I found 1,073 ways not to do it"
Remember, there's no failing, just learning.
