Merry Christmas, Holy Crap!
Hit Play On This Video Below. It’s My All Time Favorite Screw Up:
Last year at about this same time I wrote an email breaking down how in order
to change your circumstances you must first change yourself so that those new
circumstances are able to manifest themselves in your life.
While this point was very true, it just didn’t feel all that festive…
This year I have something vastly more fun for you 
This year I’d like to share with you a very powerful reality and give you a stunning
video example… You ready?
Holiday Lesson Ala Jonny: EVERYTHING good is a result of failure.
Personal Case In Point: I have been able to achieve my super ninja success
by very simply applying over and over basic core principals, taking action and
learning from things that didn’t work.
Example: My last “public” launch was a total miss.
What I did: I experimented with several marketing techniques that had INDIVIDUALLY
produced stunning results.
I put them in a sequence which I was convinced would result in one of the greatest
viral marketing plans of all time…
The Actual Results: Pure poo.
As it turns out these techniques are AMAZING when used individually but not so
hot when combined into one system.
HOLY CRAP! (Jonny just admitted to screwing something up)
So what do you think I did?
Because I was paying attention I was able to see where the breakdowns
were happening…
Using this information that came from a total failure I modified my approach…
30 days later I quietly relaunched this system with a few “tweaks”…
The Results: I broke my all my previous MONTHLY income records
in roughly 48 hours all without Affiliates and without really any product.
What This Means For You:
Don’t be afraid to try something new… ESPECIALLY if it looks difficult or if you
think you’ll fail the first time.
That’s what it means to be alive. We’re here to screw up. But more than that we’re
here to learn from those mistakes and use them to make us better people… to make
us better at succeeding in whatever we chose to do with our lives.
Like I said, failure is the GREATEST leaning experience of all time. And even if
there really is no way to pick up all the rotting pieces of whale meat… at least
it’s good for a laugh several decades later
Have a great holiday and keep expanding yourself,
Jonny

Hey Jonny,
first of all I hope you have a great Christmas and a stunningly fantastic New Year!!
I hope people get the message from your post; keep things simple!!
I had to pull the launch of my product because I “over-egged” the system.
What was interesting was your comment “As it turns out these techniques are AMAZING when used individually but not so hot when combined into one system.”
As you know so many people try to do too many things at once instead of mastering one simple process, making a steady level of income and THEN adding something else into their marketing mix. (I know I’ve been guilty of this in the past).
Anyhow… truly love all you do, you’re an inspiration to us all and I look forward to hooking up with you sometime in 2010…
Have a great time
Your pal

Haa! Talk about a total pooch screw!
If that happened today, it’d dominate
Youtube.
Learning from mistakes is the main
issue littering the road to success.
Of course, the seagulls and crabs always
take them away…..
Happy Holidays Jonny, you drunk Santa!
Stay as generous as ever in 2010.

Jonny – I’m a native Oregonian and I remember that whale! Fortunately, I wasn’t close enough to it to become a part of the blubbering mess. I just wish I knew what I’m supposed to learn from the next mistake I make, before I make it. Enjoy the holidays, and stay away from the fruitcake.

Jonny your the shit man … funny and smart what a good combo

That was not something I expected, but it was okay. As far as making mistakes. I think my biggest problem this year was trying to learn everything at once. I believe to succeed, you have to focus on the task at hand before you can move on to expand. Just what I believe since I have not yet succeeded. But I will. Safe and Happy Holidays to all.

I had to share that on my facebook .. It was too good not to share 
. Great point Johnny. Failure is always a great teacher.

That is a stinky mess. I am so glad I wasn’t on the clean-up crew, or a bystander.

Thanks for that great laugh and how true Jonny!
I love you because you are original; thanks to you and the traffic siphon system I now know how to drive traffic (and that was from only 1 bit of your great advice) I will buy just about anything from you in time because it is always great content – thanks for being my inspiration to put together a great product myself!

LOL with Christmas cheer Andrew!
Thank your for this post. It is a very good reminder especially with the New Year 2010 fast approaching. To create and go after my New Year’s resolutions, resolute on success, without fear of failure. To use failure as a catalyst for something greater than the failure itself is to to truly live regardless of what is happening around us. To succeed no matter what with joy. I’m thankful for this simple wisdom that has finally hit home.
Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year 2010!

At least they took action.
I know a president that would STILL be thinking about what to do.
