Experience is your best teacher. There is nothing better than taking the initiative, venturing out, taking chances, discovering something for oneself, and making mistakes.

The best way to acquire knowledge is to hang out online with people who have the knowledge you're looking for.
Now, this might seem pretty straightforward.
But you have to understand that a lot of the times, people who truly know their stuff say stuff in passing like in forum posts.
Rarely do you see people who truly know their stuff lay out everything in a blog post.
There are some experts out there like Brian Dean, but the ones who have systems that lead to easy traffic or easy money are more coy.
It's easy to see why.
They're not going to tell everybody their system.
Once they do so, everybody starts copying it, and they lose money.
I found this out in the worst way possible because I used to get a tremendous amount of traffic several years back from this one website.
All the other marketers there couldn't quite figure out how I was getting direct links from that site while they weren't.
On a lark, I shared my secret, and guess what.
My income went down!
I understand the hesitation traffic generators have.
But by just hanging out on forums like this as well as in many different Facebook groups, you can read between the lines.
And sometimes you can figure out their techniques.
But more importantly, you absorb their attitude.
Because people who make money have an "open attitude," they are open to failing.
They are also open to failing quickly.
They're open to learning.
They're open to mixing things up, and coming up with new combinations, and they are big on scaling.
When you put all these different mindsets together, it is no surprise why they're successful and most people struggle.
People have been trained since they were babies to fear failure.
But failure really is an important by-product of trying and experimenting.
As long as you're not likely Wile E. Coyote and doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, you should be fine.
The key is to fail quickly, figure out why you failed, make certain tweaks, and look for basic principles that you can then apply for your next try.
So to me, attitude comes before aptitude.
Put simply, if you have the thirst and the willingness for success and most importantly you give yourself permission to succeed, you will be unstoppable.
You will find people with the right expertise to help you.
You will find the right information.
You can buy the right information.
But if you don't have the right attitude, it's game over.
I know a lot of brilliant people with high IQs with the wrong attitude.
Their minds are closed.
That's why they're stuck at shit jobs!
They're not making as much money as they could otherwise be making and they feel frustrated.
They don't feel free.
They don't feel that they living their lives to the fullest or using their talents and skills to create value for everybody.
It's not so much IQ, knowledge, skill, or talent, but more like attitude.
So, hang out online or better yet in actual physical organizations, and pay attention to those with an open mindset.
As the old saying goes, "your net worth is determined by your network."
Hang around with losers, and don't be surprised if you become one of them.
Hang around broke people, and don't be surprised if you're also broke.
Hang out with strivers.
Hang out with people who you want to become.
You don't have to be a smart person.
Just have an open mind.
Be a facilitator.
Ask the right questions.
