None of my friends or family members really get it either. I try to say…think about a magazine but on a bigger scale and easier to manage! They still don’t get it.

Thanks Corinne! I wish there was a better way to code that thing (maybe I should try!) as it is a standard Aweber deal. Thanks for the input…I am going to try to look into other options. It is a real hassle on the iPhone where it shows up every visit. In its current state, it only shows up once per visitor.

Great point. Henry Ford has a lot of amazing quotes to live by…that man was an innovator…not a follower.

“That is because the man that believes he already knows everything has no room to grow” This quote brought up so many people in my head its not even funny. It is so true about those who stick with the ‘i told you so’ mentality seldom reach a point where they actually grow. It’s like they are on an journey with an adamant vehicle and I’m not talking about a physical one either but the mind. I read a couple days ago in “Think in Grow Rich” a line that struck a cord in me. It was about Henry Ford being an ‘educated’ man not in the commonly denoted educated as in possessing a degree or certificate or completing a number of yrs in school. It dealt with the root word ‘educere’ which means to draw out and the verb educe to draw forth from within. The successful entrepreneur knows how to use his/her mind to attain what the commonly ‘educated’ person can’t whereas the old time ‘educated’ person can.

Actually driving past those settlements I think about the poor design.

Entrepreneurs and businesspeople usually do whatever they can to minimise risk. I heard a concert promoter say: You may think it is a risk to book Bruce Springsteen . . .

Dear Robb -

This is the best article I have read in over a week! Congratulations.

Can I make a suggestion? (With love)

Please move your pop up to the end. It really is distracting and your work is so good that I think it discourages people from reading further. It is also hard to close.

I usually just delete a post that has a pop up in the beginning. But I stumbled yours and also retweeted. Because it was yours.

Hope you don’t mind my mentioning this.

This is really the post that I needed after this week. One of those weeks where I felt like I’m running on a treadmill and not getting anywhere. But a post like that motivates me and makes me want to hit the ground running even harder.

Thanks for the great advice! I have been reading a lot of great books to help me move forward in the business venture I am interested in and feel that the advice you have given in this post is very insightful. I just read a great book titled, "Natural Success Principles," by Jack Hatfield which also points out that you must have the guts to change the plan. If something is not working, you must be able to tell yourself that it is not working and change it- I find it reassuring that you have similar advice.

Great post Robb,

I know a lot of people who think they “know everything”. I’m always telling my family members about blogging and how I earn money from blogging but some of them don’t get it. They think there is no money to be made blogging.

I really like this quote “That is because the man that believes he already knows everything has no room to grow.” and it can be applied to all aspects of life.

Thanks again for the great post!
