Ivaylo's BASE 2.0 Journal

[heavysm]

I can see how you reached that conclusion, but I don't think that's the case. /You still gave me 1-2 good ideas though, thanks for that. /
I have found a market, a few markets actually. If "chasing the shiny" was what tipped you off, what I was actually referring to was something different.

I used to make a very decent sum of money with SEO before I somehow got into my head, that what I was doing was "bad". When I did that (and few of my former closest people were more than willing to reinforce that mindset), I lost my edge and looking back, it was only a matter of time for things to go downhill.

I'm getting it back now, remembering what I did right and fixing what could be improved. I was lying through my teeth about what I was selling (herbal supplements, you know the kind ) back then and it was working beautifully. The thing is - I threw out the baby with the bathwater, so to speak, and decided that my whole approach was "bad". Nope, only the lying part should have went away. I should have kept my aggressiveness in selling (and life in general), instead of suppressing it and labeling it as wrong, but I am getting it back. That was what "chasing the shiny" was about.

Again, though, I appreciate the help. Always nice to hear from someone, who's earning money with SEO/online marketing.

Well you're making solid progress then and that's all that really matters.

I just made my response above on the off chance that you had shiny object syndrome (it's common enough to be called that) where people just from opportunity to opportunity trying to find what works. I'm glad that's not you though, because I've been in that boat and it was frustrating to say the least.

I actually had my own business related epiphany sort of like you. There was a market that i didn't want to touch because it didn't fit my mental image of what a business should be, but now i see it completely differently and there's a chance i might jump in with it.

It's funny, once you change your perception of things, everything changes, because that's all we have really - when our perception of reality changes it literally changes everything, for us. That might seem trivial or like "duh - lol" but when it happens it's like the clouds part and things are just different, because to you it is different.

Anyway, I'll be on BASE very soon when my run with LTU finishes. Definitely looking forward to that
