					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Failure sucks.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no two ways about it.</p>
<p>The Tony Robbins&#8217; of this world can try and spin if however they like.<img loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-357 size-full" src="https://michaelcheney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/fail.jpg" alt="Man" width="300" height="450" srcset="https://michaelcheney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/fail.jpg 300w, https://michaelcheney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/fail-200x300.jpg 200w, https://michaelcheney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/fail-266x400.jpg 266w, https://michaelcheney.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/fail-82x122.jpg 82w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p>When you fail, it hurts.</p>
<p>And for a time this year I failed hard.</p>
<p>To the tune of losing around $100,000.</p>
<p>Now listen up Moto.</p>
<p>Before you run to the hills screaming like a cotton-headed ninnymuggins lemme just tell you something&#8230;</p>
<p>This is not some sob story designed to sell you something.</p>
<p>In fact, far from it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m embarrassed to admit this email doesn&#8217;t even have a freakin link in it.</p>
<p>Wha?</p>
<p>The reason I&#8217;m sharing my failure with you is to warn you.</p>
<p>Because it can happen to anybody.</p>
<p>Heck.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve made a ton of dough over the years so I thought a little journey away from internet marketing for a year and half would be a breeze.</p>
<p>Boy was I wrong.</p>
<p>A few wrong turns is all it takes to waste $100k and 18 months of your life.</p>
<p>Who knew?</p>
<p>The good news is I managed to get the good times rolling again although I can&#8217;t take any of the credit.</p>
<p>It was actually thanks to an ex New York paramedic.</p>
<p>This guy used to be a paramedic for the New York Fire Department.</p>
<p>He lost his best friend and partner during 9/11 and quit the job to go into internet marketing.</p>
<p>He has a heart of gold.</p>
<p>And when I reached out to him to ask him for help his response was both immediate and effective&#8230;</p>
<p>He gave my flatlining business &#8220;CPR&#8221; and took it from a position of making a loss to bringing in $53k a month.</p>
<p>And this transformation happened in just 3 &#8211; 4 months.</p>
<p>Schwaeet.</p>
<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;ll tell you more about who this guy is and what he did to blast me from flatline to $53k a month.</p>
<p>And no, in case you&#8217;re thinking it, there won&#8217;t be a link to buy anything in that email either.</p>
<p>Just a big vote of thanks and dollop of gratitude for my ex-paramedic friend.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s turned my business and my life around and I love him to bits for it.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get the next installment of the story tomorrow.</p>
