I just watched a video, that really was just audio, over at John Reese’s ugly little blog.
John knows how to use Camtasia, but has no idea how to create an audio by itself.
He’s got a bunch of people stirred up because they think he’s being hypocritical. They have no idea what he’s saying, because they’re to worried about what he said.
Why do people think they have to argue with what somebody said, as if their very lives depend on it ?
Why do people feel the need to try and crush the success of someone more successful than they are ?
Why do they call someone’s blog ugly and disparage their use of video software to make an audio ?
Can we not let people be wrong without having to try and save them from their stupidity ?
That’s the biggest reason I can think of not to visit forums – The Success Crushers.
I read over 100 blogs, a city newspaper or two and a national paper … every single day.
Do I read some conflicting viewpoints about things I believe ? Sure I do.
Do I take time to argue with every one of them. Not only no, hell no.
Take the good, the parts that you know are true and throw out the bad and just … let … it … go.
Try this next time you read something that you don’t believe … repeat after me …. GOOBER !
That’s all you have to do. Call ‘em ( or me ) a GOOBER ! and keep movin’. Don’t waste your valuable time trying to save the world.
Every minute you waste arguing with people on their blog is one you didn’t use CREATING content that you can sell or leverage. That minute is gone forever and you can’t get it back to use towards your own edification or education.
Have I made this mistake in the past ? Uh, … yeah, like 5 minutes ago.
Am I gonna try to do less arguing and more creating in 2007 ? Uh, … yeah.
Think of it this way – how often do you see the uber-successful running from blog to blog, arguing semantics, fighting over nits and twiddles ? Uh, … almost never.
Does Seth Godin run from blog to blog trying to argue semantics and little piddlyass points ?
Do you see Donald Trump’s name in the comment section of every blog on the A-List ?
Is Bill Gates a known blog spammer and frequent commenter on Scobles new blog ?
Where’s all the comments from steve Jobs ?
You know, as well as I do, that the uber-successful spend their time CREATING, not RECREATING.
Let’s take 2007 and try this – if you disagree with a silly, little, minor point that you read, spend the time you’d use arguing, creating a bit of content for an ebook, an article, software or whatever you think will be valuable to the market you sell to.
If the matter is life-threatening or major, feel free to argue a bit. But if we’d just unsubscribe from the blogs that lead us into wasting our time arguing, we’d be more successful within our markets in a shorter period of time.
NOTICE – I never said commenting is bad, in fact I love it when people add to the conversation. I can even go along with sucking up AND praise, heck, I do that. It’s the 3 day bitchfests and long drawn-out aguments over piddlyass things that I’m sick of.
How about it ? Do you have any more ideas for how we can make better use of our time in 2007 ? Can you teach us a lesson that will help us create, rather than recreate, more often in 2007 ? Do we need blog created about this topic ?
Gimme one, single bit-o-advice that will help me create more content in 2007 ?
Or we can do an Ask-type thang in the comments and we’ll look for someone to answer our questions.
What’s your one, most burning question about creating content that you can leverage or sell ?
As my good friend Tone-Loc said, ” Let’s do it. “
