Its All About A Passion To Succeed
Derek Cladek on May 26th, 2010
What I have learned the past 9 months is that everything you do is about passion. If you have a passion to succeed you will succeed because nothing will stop you. Your passion becomes your driving force and its what gets you by another day. I have learned that I hate writing, but I love reading what other people write. I am definitely not the best at writing but I do love learning new things and teach others.
One of my biggest issues with school is that they teach people how to have a ‘safe and secure’ job. Well I am here to tell you school is a waste of time and money! I never completed college, mainly because I was going for Fire Fighting and when I started my own business I left that job and dream behind. I was a volunteer firefighter for almost two years and loved it. It’s one memory I love and miss most. What I got from that experience is that you need passion to succeed. In anything in life it will be your driving force.
I have learned these past few months a lot about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and feel I could actually teach a college course on it. I don’t know a lot of technical things like CSS, PHP, Databases or even really how to design a website, but I do know who does! With SEO its a lot about who you know than what you know. I know what it takes to take a website to the top of google, but when I found the ‘who’ in SEO I got there a lot faster!
You can always learn something from anyone and that is why large bloggers make all their money on their blogs, because they have such a large following, people just want to learn from them. They show you their successes, but what about their failures? They hype you up to get you to join their list so they can eventually sell you something! These people make their money online that way. They bait you, hook you and catch you later! I am not against this or these bloggers, but what if you could teach people to be successful without ever selling them anything? How much respect would you get then?
I know this post is random, probably because I am a very random person, with many thoughts just floating around in my head. I never stop thinking about this stuff and how I can learn more about SEO. I will get ideas just randomly and will always write them down.
Here is the golden nugget for this post- Always write down every idea you have, no matter how dumb you think it is.
You know Thomas Edison said “I have not failed 1,000 times, I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to not make a light bulb”
Your path to success will the driving force of your passion to succeed and finding every way that doesn’t work. SEO is partly about finding what doesn’t work and what does work. I have failed multiple times but its the one success that drives me and makes me successful.
