"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Thomas A. Edison It is hard not to look at your online business affairs as full fledge hog that takes and takes never giving back. For every online success you will have many times more online blunders, time wasted, money lost, many more pigs… Sometime you just need to put a little lipstick on your pig and move on. The truth is “Many of life’s failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” Thomas A. Edison. The way I see it all we need is a collective 10,000 mistakes to make one giant Light Bulb success. This area is about dressing up your pig and taking him to market. Lipstick on a pig is a place to share your mistakes so we don’t all have to make them.

| G`day,
gosh how ironic I was reading this post as I realized i`d made a HUGE!! blunder uploading a large file. Uploaded the wrong one didn`t I ... DOHH!! This is after battling my server for the past 30 hours trying to upload a VERY HUGE zip, around 120 Mb ... it timed out on me several times, then it created a "Forbidden File" or something ... got onto the "geek squad" and sorted that out but boy, once i`d finally sorted it all out, it took 5½ hours straight to upload (no broadband here ... around 7 KB/s upload speed. Guess my mind was a tad frazzled after all that, next file I uploaded, well I just looked at the size of it NOT the actual name ... DOHHH!!! ... and didn`t realize until it was 3 minutes from finishing ... LOL. So after waiting for an hour for it to upload, I simply deleted it as soon as it finished ... man the Kangaroos around here are gonna start swearin` soon from picking it up off me ... ; ) Christopher V V VCHECK IT OUTV V V GIVEAWAY |

| Well I am still learning in Apsense. I have tried 3 times to start another group only to have it all deleted because the photo won't upload - wrong type (jpg?), wrong size, wrong colour? I remembered to start reading the comments to this from the bottom (at last) but they still did not make sense then I discovered there are 3 pages worth so I should have started there!!! I have also forgotten the code sometimes. It is good to learn there are other people as accident prone(?) as me. |

| How many times have you signed up for stuff and after you sign up you find it's not what you thought it was and you keep getting e-mails from them and forget to unsubsubscribe. I've done that a lot and now I'm getting about 5000 e-mails per day in my gmail.
If you don't like something, unsubscribe right away and don't let those programs build up to the point that you can't keep up with them. Here's to Your Success, Rebecca Beasley |

| Mistake .....+5 I must be doing an awful lot because the mistakes are starting to pile up so high I can't get out of my study door.
Forget the time you read at the top of this post. For me it is just after 9am Tuesday morning. Last night I found I got scammed yet again by a mob who promised me guaranteed sign ups to my business progam. Turns out someone from their office sat at a computer and entered in a whole lot of bogus names, and emails that are designed not to bounce but presumably never go anywhere. I have resolved NEVER to spend another cent on internet marketing. That's it for me. Guess I'll have to go back to good old fashion relationship building. Not a happy chappy (coz of the money I've lost in the last cuppla weeks. |
