This reminds me of an amazing principle I learned in the book "Designing Your Life" basically, the author suggests that instead of trying to have a MAP or a destination for your life, business, relationship or whatever you should seek a DIRECTION. You never know when shit will hit the fan or when things will fall through, but if you are at least moving in the right direction (even at a slow pace) it should work out at the end of the day.
Every day of my life...but I will always keep moving forward. In my experience, you fail at almost everything you try, but you won't succeed without trying over and over again.
I must say after going through a few of Derek's TA's I walked around yesterday at work scribbling maps on pieces of paper (so my colleagues didn't no what I was doing)trying to figure out how I was going to adopt this stuff to my situation, my needs, my plan. How can I use what he is saying and grow my ideas and hobby into a business for my future? I think I got halfway there, I managed to come up with a new idea and now I need to go see if it will work. Derek is providing us with tools, we need to figure out how and on what we can use it
There is always things in every endeavor that you have to figure out. My first business success actually came from my own insights and actions, not the $3500 flagship course I bought. In fact, it's actually from completely ignoring 2 "rules" the course taught. It's funny how I'm still grateful for that high ticket course (if I didn't spend that much money, I wouldn't have taken action). That said, I think course creators ought to give the customers as many of those baby steps as possible that are vital to success. For example, in the language learning industry, most of the advice I see is just motivational crap and abstract advice. What would be far more helpful is a step-by-step approach and granular details on exactly how to learn, what words to learn and in order, etc. I suspect the absence of this is why so many Americans fail to learn a second language. And that's the gap I'm seeking to fill in the market.
Absolutely right Derek - other peoples' formulaic approaches rarely achieve the results that they claim to. I just tried to validate the commercial potential of a software product using the step-by-step technique that Dane Maxwell teaches to his Foundation members. It may have worked for (some of) them, but it failed on multiple levels for me. That said, I believe the underlying concept is sound, but the implementation will need to be tweaked and re-tweaked for my scenario. That's my current work-in-progress.
Derek I feel like a “bitch slap”. Because sometimes we need that wake up...get in the trenches, get you clothes dirty and figure it out...perfect. I would write more but I must go figure this sh@t out! Thanks DH
Yeap there are times you just got to do it. There will be times where you can't figure things out but yea when things goes wrong that's when we truly learn
Web design is like carpentry except your tools are broken out of the box. Woocommerce was an 'approved' plugin for my favorite WordPress theme. Turns out the developers meant 4 versions ago. But this theme has great new features! Too bad the documentation is outdated. Website stopped showing update for a time. Caching plugin was corrupt. The list goes on.
Derek, I'm sure you're aware of this but you're "subscribe" and "watch next" boxes at the end of your videos don't work. I know it would help your reach if they did. Just sayin'...

Thanku for being there for all of us
Only all the time 😆 I tend to be overly optimistic which leads to things often not working out the way I planned.

I can’t remember when things went perfectly. I gave up on that notion. When things get hard and road blocks go up, I just think ‘yup, there it is.’

Been around way to long to even wish to myself things will go perfect.

Something that went perfect: not hearing any Ugandan knuckle jokes in this about finding da wae

Good rant. Keep 'em coming...

that's precise 5s to say "subscribe&like"
i'm curious about the result. is there still a drop ?
Derek, I'm sure you're aware of this but you're "subscribe" and "watch next" boxes at the end of your videos don't work. I know it would help your reach if they did. Just sayin'...
