 |  The dumb Steve Pavlina follower
Has anyone else noticed the people that have taken Steves advice the wrong way.... They read some articles and they all do the first things they can think of when it comes to changing themself. To change their career they will start a website thats similar to steves but a diluted version of it that doesnt have much value! it will be called something like.... how-to-change-your-life-and-be-happy-lots.com  and they have the false hope that this will earn them a living one day.... IT REALLY WONT! You can make money from a website but not when there is a lack of creativity! Just really wanted to say this ..... so yeah  |

I don't like this line of thought.... It smells of can't see the forest for the trees Rant on: I find that Steve's insights open doorways in others thought process..... The road to independent/creative thought starts with restating others thoughts I have yet to meet a musician that didn't start by playing covers or at the very least learn scales and chords.... by your line of reason they are less of a musician because they didn't invent the 1-4-5 progression... I don't know How many songs have you heard that sound like watered down versions of others do they have no value? I hate to slaughter the sacred cow but most of Steve's insights are just variations of themes we have all heard before... does this mean they have no value? It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there even if it is only on the web why tare down? you could support these others and help them grow Is it possible that they will reach an audience that Steve doesn't? If they are creating value..... good on em Rant off: I see your signature says Art, Music, Love Your words do not truly communicate the love you are trying to give I do believe what you intended was to help others see the ignorance in their ways... We are not all on the same path... believe me someone is getting value out of these others web-sites even if it is just the poster him/herself Dwix, be a builder, an encourager, a giver not a destroyer, naysayer, taker Much Love |

Well I have to admit I was one of those "dumb" people initially that got caught up with trying to start a site, that had no "real value", but it's ok I came around full circle, to realize that was I was doing wasn't aligned with who I am and I learnt a valuable lesson from it. Actually prior to coming onto this site, I was trying to do things to make money online, that wasn't really me, like buying domains etc but now I'm letting this all go, because I know I will never make any money from it, because it's not essentially what I am about. So if I hadn't come onto this site, tried some silly adventures, I would be still wasting my money investing in domain names and other silly ventures (nothing bad, but time wasting). We make mistakes, we learn and then we grow Last edited by ellie; 12-21-2008 at 10:28 PM. |

Not to mention, Steve himself had failures before he had success.... So yeah, these people might be failing with imitation, but at least they're doing something. And they will, if they keep at it, learn from those failures, coming closer to the end-goal. Then again, I guess if my website wasn't going to "be up" until 2009, I could have lots of room to tear people down for no apparent reason too.... |
