Lipstick on a Pig
"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.

I did work with a fellow once who said he never make a mistake. One perfect guy in the world.
When we fail or endure losses, we tend to call it a mistake, but cybernetics teaches us that making mistake is a natural part of the learning process. Just try to stay away from the ones that cost "an arm and a leg!" and don't repeat or you wont be able to keep up!
There are "honest mistakes" - when we do

Well, I reckon I can contribute about 1,000 of the 10,000 we need to actually succeed. My only problem is that if you repeat the same mistake, does it count as another one or is it still only the same mistake repeated? Love the graphic!!!

My very first internet business investment (this was a few years ago) was the resale rights to an online website builder with hosting.
This was one of those hotel conference room high pressure kind of deals. As a side sell they offered resell rights on the payment gateways to go along with your website.
I didn’t feel good about the gateway investment and tried to ask questions. We were in a group at the time and the leader snatched my paperwork from me and said that’s

I'm going to take the liberty of the "first Lip Stick on a Pig." I learned a "hard" lesson today! SPAM filters have been my downfall and it was pointed out to me today. Now we all know SPAM is unsolicited email, however "do you know" what SPAM Filter Trigger Words are? If not I encourage you to take a trip to this link for an education...
