Success Has Many Fathers

Its a odd day when I get a question like “Hey I have this idea but how can I be sure it won’t fail?” Actually if you were at the BlueGlass Conference in Tampa last month you might remember how someone from the audience asked how they could implement a advertising strategy that had no chance of failure. There is a famous saying - “Success has many fathers but failure is always an orphan.” Everyone wants to claim successes but nobody wants to be the guy that is like “Hey I failed so bad on this thing.” I have written about my biggest failures.... or what others would have considered major failures... IMO I don’t have any failures. Only experiences. Only education. I did not attend college... well I did a little bit but its not like I have an MBA. I find it interesting when people always ask where I went to school to learn all of this marketing that we do or where they can learn how to do it (over night). I went to the school of failing.
