My health and fitness journey has taught me a lot about taking care of my body and mind, thinking rationally and knowing my limitations while working hard to surpass some of those limitations and being satisfied with my efforts.
Now, I am very hard on myself and I have a tendency of losing sight of those efforts; but when I snap out of it, then I know how everything worth succeeding at, has to have challenges and a long journey to reach that success.
A benchmark or signature workout at Orangetheory Fitness can make a person think. Sometimes or let's just face it most times; it puts doubts in your mind and your self-confidence can take a bit of a hit.
Today's was no different as I didn't reach my goal with today's "Catch Me If You Can" benchmark, but once I put everything into perspective and look at the overall body of work and learning that we lose more than we win towards our ultimate goals then I just start loving the journey again.
I am putting that same effort towards my online marketing goals and my second time around on this journey, the ebb and flow of the environment is so frenetic that if you don't accept the losses and learn to look at them as building blocks and learning opportunities; you won't make it. You will quit.
As everyone knows right now, markets are volatile - ALL MARKETS.
There are amazing opportunities within that volatility, so those who stick around and hang in there will come away happy they did. Those are the folks that understand about losing much more than winning.
When I came back to online marketing, I knew pretty much what hurt me the first time around; so I came in with a brand new perspective and branding myself while building my lists there was definitely a huge difference from my last go around.
I hit a stale time frame recently and instead of giving up, moving on to the - what I would believe - is the next big thing or just wasting more money and time on something new; I went back to basics and quickly brought on 100 plus subscribers, more commissions and more downline growth.
One of my favorites group of ad sites provide me with commissions in crypto, although the ad site is not on a blockchain; but the owner knows the importance of that option and provides it to his affiliates. This also keeps me aligned with CLICK.TRACK.PROFIT, HIVE, the We Are Alive Tribe, etc., by keeping me active here.
Finally, my relationship with my fiancé Tiffany is another result of a rollercoaster ride; I've had with being either with someone for many years or married. Yes, that is part of winning and losing. There is great loss in failed relationships.
You can quickly become disillusioned and not want to be with anyone and just be alone. I myself, have not had a lot of single life time the last 20 years or so; maybe more. I can't say if I prefer to be alone, but being with someone to share life with is not so bad.
I can tell you this without hesitation. I am a much better partner to her, because of all the mistakes I made in previous relationships. The good things came along with me into the relationship, but the bad was left behind.
So, get my point? Losses are just building blocks, because we learn from our mistakes, we move on from our mistakes and we improve on our mistakes.
