Today’s Make Money Online Tip
Why hello there! QUICK! TELL ME NOW!
Do YOU admit to your network when you goofed?
Hmmmmm?
One of the most powerful things you can do to increase your profitability online is to be open about your successes AND your failures.
After all, your failures make you more human….and (get this!) if you choose to view ‘failures’ as ‘opportunities for improvement’, you reinforce the belief by your network that nothing gets you down!
I just realized this morning I made one big huge major goof with my sales copy! No, not only my sales copy….but my overall approach as well. WAH!
I’m in the process of rectifying this, and will give you a complete step-by-step accounting of what I did wrong and how I fixed it. Can’t do that, however, until I actually DO fix it…hence the delay. 
Anywhos, nobody but nobody (except my mom, of course) is infallible. We ALL make mistakes…and the people who listen to our words benefit greatly by seeing we goof too!
Remember…success…it’s an attititude!
That doesn’t mean, success…it’s perfection.
No sirree…not by a long shot!
Thus, do NOT beat yourself up whenever you discover you’ve made mistakes in your business online – glory instead in the realization you now have not only an opportunity to improve…but also to teach those people who value your words as well.
And that, my friend, is a priceless gift indeed.
Enjoy,
Barbara Ling

Yes, I would definitely admit it…it’s just that I never goof. J/K.
I actually have another blog where I post sample exam questions for a particular certification. I have one reader who catches minor mistakes from time to time and I always acknowledge it in my comments area.

Smart move!
Wow, I’m impressed. Most people deny their mistakes even if a crowd of people saw them make the mistake! I enjoy reading your blog, very well written and a good example of honesty on the net. Very rare indeed these days…thanks!
