Hi Guys, Mark here!
I’ve learned a valuable lesson, or insight that has occurred to me in the past 6 months:
There are lots of people out there who will fight tooth and nail to be RIGHT.
Even if they are wrong, reckless and just downright stupid. They have to be right at all costs.
They wear me out.
I fight to be Smart. Even if I appear wrong, or if I risk being wrong.
Why? Well, I’ve discovered that the folks who fight to be right are often so closed minded that they will swear up and down that the sky is green, and that they will wear you down either passively or actively to ensure they are right.
And you know what? If you fight to be smart, you might be wrong, but in the end if you are smart about it, you wind up being right.
I have always found that to be the case, especially in Internet Marketing.
Want an example? I have a good friend who launches literally hundreds of Auto blogs a week. It frightens me but he swears up and down that GOOGLE doesn’t care.
I told him I thought it would eventually fail, but I was Wrong. It kept going for months on end. I was surprised. He insisted I follow his plan, but I didn’t feel like it was smart and continued to build my niche sites at a comfortable pace, making sure they were of good quality. But boy his dollars rolled in.
Then, in one day Google deindexed over 200 of his top sites. Decimating his income. Bad. His income dropped by 80 % in a nanosecond.
I was wrong initially, but Smart. In the end I was Right.
More to come.
