Why We Must Experience Failure In Order To Be Successful

What makes one person extremely successful, while another will fail and give up vowing never to try again? Is it due to the fact that the successful one was more intelligent, more experienced, or possesses some sort of god given ability?

Probably not.

In the eyes of society, history tells us that successful individuals triumphed in what they did simply because they failed and never surrendered their passion. They would take failure as being part of the equation if they wanted to achieve success beyond their wildest dreams.

Over the past decade, interviews and research have been conducted to determine whether there was a commonality between some of the greatest people in history. Specifically, it was the pursuit of the so-called “magic formula” that led to this research.

Ultimately, it was concluded that every single person’s success, had to endure some sort of failure in the past. Whether it was emotionally, physically or mentally, they had to overcome at least an obstacle before they could experience success.

Now, the great news is that, success almost always occurs even if you failed 1000 or 100,000 times in your life, as long as you never surrender, the reason being that success is not an absolute destination but is rather a journey.

The biggest problem with failure is that it is a subject that most people hate to talk about. It’s through dealing with failure that we can ultimately gain success. So why isn’t everybody dealing and learning from their failures?

What we are talking about here is the FEAR of FAILURE.

Its humanity’s greatest nemesis and the killer of dreams that bring you success. It is in our innate nature since the dawn of man to feel fear. Fear of actions that could complicate situations which may be life threatening or in this case, fear of being ridiculed for pursuing our dreams and passion. Fear of failure is our natural instinct that separates us from what we want to achieve in life. It scares every dream and passion that you may have.

What you must actually instill in your mindset is that failure is our greatest mentor and that it teaches you what nobody else can. To achieve success, you must first avoid the fear of a possibility of failing to cloud your judgement and to strangle your decision.

As you fail, you puncture a hole deep within your ego, and only then will you begin to learn the important things you couldn’t see before. If you can learn to take failure and never accept defeat, you would inadvertently take up the challenge to fight back even stronger, because of this simple shift in mindset, failure can remedy wonders for people to begin again, this time intelligently.

If you are not convinced. Lessons of failure can be seen in almost every success story in the world. Just like this guy, Charles Forman who is the founder ofOMGPOP who created the hit sensation; “Draw Something“.

Charles Forman had just $1,700 in his bank account the day before he launched “Draw Something“, since then it has been downloaded over 35 million times and was later sold to Zynga for $180 million. So you would ask how he created a one hit wonder in such a short period of time? No, he actually started his game development company 6 years ago and created dozens of games prior to “Draw something“. It was because he never gave up to dozens of failure, that he continued to create better games that led to this magnificent one.

Another inspiring story of a teenage entrepreneur who finally succeeded after failing over 30 times in his previous web ventures was Adam Horwitz. At the age of just 15, he had the dream of making a million dollars with an entrepreneurial idea that would revolutionize the mobile marketing industry.

After 3 years of unsuccessful self-funded ventures,Adam Horwitz finally launched his first successful product, YepText that led to a series of impactful creations that finally propelled him to the million dollar mark at the age of 18. Eventually he was featured on CNN for being the top 8 kid entrepreneurs to watch for 2012 and beyond. All this manifested only after he took those early failures as a legitimate step towards the right direction.

Simply by acknowledging that failure is part of the process in your search for success can be a great stepping stone. When you can stare adversity in the face, you will no doubt have the strength inside of you to achieve anything you set out to achieve.

Online Marketing or Offline Marketing?

Online Marketing or Offline Marketing? 

In this article, i wanted to share what i know about online versus offline marketing. As many are already familiar with this, you will be amazed that there are still a lot who have no idea what these are, How powerful it is and how clueless we are on how easy it can be.

But first lets define what Online Marketing and Offline Marketing is.

Definition

Offline Marketing is your traditional business done in the traditional manner of advertising. Simply put it, advertisements done through newspaper, magazine, radios, TV adds, banners etc.

Pro's
- Proven system
- Effective in delivery
- Can reach a huge number of demographics

Con's
- Expensive, requires a substantial amount of money.
- could be limited to your area and country only (depending on your initial funds, again going back to "expensive")
- requires a lot of work and people (advertising consultants, staff, paid actors etc)
- ROI or Return of Investment takes longer ( 2 to 3 years by average)


Online Marketing is defined as your business advertised online through social media (number one right now if i may say myself) like Facebook, Online Stores (Multiply.com, Sulit), blogging, tweeting, etc.
Pro's

- This is already a proven system ( samples are coke and pepsi battling it out on the social platform of Facebook)
- Massive potential and reach (again, this is online and the whole world can see this)
- FREE This could be the BEST advantage yet. Most social sites are FREE registration and if not only requires a minimal fee for advertisement edge. Like Facebook, you can spend a budget of a dollar per click but of course the higher the better but just imagine advertising online for $10 - $50 compared to thousands.
- minimal number of people to work with (no need to hire anyone), less expenses
- ROI can be seen in a months time  


Con's

- Spamming, be careful with this one. There's a line between sharing/promoting from Spamming and the latter can create negative feedback instead of a good one.
- none that i can think of, given that you follow the successful paths and do your research first (Basics, Guide and always get a successful brand to mirror), your business should hit success in no time.


Now that we have defined the two, the next question that is always asked is, which one is better and why? 

In my honest opinion (based on my experience and research as well), I prefer Online Marketing. Why? because of the following reasons:

1) You don't need a lot of funds to start up. When i started, i only needed a few scanned materials, a desktop & internet connection (which is a standard necessity already in any home, if none whats 25 pesos in a computer shop) and creativity. I finished my first Ebay add in less than 30 minutes and that's FREE advertisement.

2) You can start faster if not immediate. Yes, i will admit that it took me at least a few hours to research online about which FREE sites to use, how, success stories and online tips but that's still faster compared to offline which requires, market study, statistics etc and that requires months if not years to complete. 


3)More leverage for you. What do i mean? by leveraging on the massive power and visibility factor of the net, your business works for you and therefor gives you more time for the important things. Admit it, we want more time for the important things in life. That's why we saw this opportunity.

4) It works while your asleep, gone in vacation, 24 hours a day with global exposure and the best part with minimal to moderate management on your part. Once you have set a system, it takes care of itself. 


5) Massive exposure. This time your not only limited to your peers, friends and family. The globe is your apple here.

Now, its safe to assume that your reading this article because your interested in Online Marketing, Need an extra income, build your own business or simply need help with your own  Online Marketing. First things first, don't be afraid to try  Online Marketing, its simple and easy. Your 1st tool is knowledge and there is plenty in the net though word of caution, there is such a thing as too much information paralysis. Just focus on one successful system and remember that it does take patience and consistency. If you don't hit it on the 1st week, don't just jump to another system. Go back to the basics and improve what you started don't just over haul it immediately.


Next is the How?
For strategies, as i mentioned above. There are a lot in the net but i'll be discussing the basics on a separate article.

So there you go, i Hope i was able to help and enlighten you even in the simplest way about Online and Offline Marketing.

How about you, whats your experience with this two? What better and effective for you? and as always feel free to share your thoughts and this article if it proved helpful to, as we can still help other =)

Busy Body

Its such a great feeling that my days are being filled up and enjoyed productively. So many thing have already happened the past 7 days that its a challenge  to start in blogging it =)

I just cant wait to start sharing all ideas, views, learning and the great sights that i have experienced these past days. 

There was the historical trip to Bataan and corregidor islands where i was overwhelmed by the "dambana of kagitingan" among other sites and relics. That was a 2 day trip that unfortunately i didn't have the change to bring my laptop due to accessibility in the places were going anyway. 

There was the skills workshop that i have attended where it was refreshing experience and in away an eye opener. An overnight workshop, where sleep is not a concern in a good way plus i was able to meet new friends and acquire new if not skills i already knew but didn't realize was there. Oh! not to mention a 6 hour activity that..well dumbfounded me from the start. Typical analysis paralysis syndrome .

How time flies when your having FUN! I wonder who i can take to meet the Ms Earth Candidates  tomorrow? =)
