		<description>I completely agree. I used to think business online was easy, but it wasn&#039;t until I failed a few times that I realized I need to go all in and start burning bridges going to places that weren&#039;t leading me to success in order to see any progress at all. Thanks for the great post.</description>

		<description>Hey David,

The ripple effect of the truth laid out here will ring out loud like a church bell to anyone who ever obsessed about anything, with every fibre of their very being.

Obsession, I think should be made into some kind of remedy pill for what ails our ever fleeting, &#039;everything has to happen super fast now&#039; society. 

This word, if it’s ever uttered (as a closed quarter, hush, hush secret) at all is looked down as some kind of dirty, smelly laundry that has to be hidden, so that it does not disturb the equilibrium and the very sensitive nature of friends and families.  

You can even be shot a quick-put, down-dirty look if you mention anything more than twice to most people with the attention span of a gnat.
   
Courting obsession in your writing rituals will invariably invite a spaced out look by close friends, who of course mean well with the ... “You need to be in some kind of institute (with white men in clothes), man, &#039;what’s wrong with you&#039; look.

Healthy obsession is a good thing, with it as a guiding light, you can never fail. 

Often you may not see the wood from the trees, but  that is the beauty of the beast, if you keep at whatever you want with your eyes firmly fixed on the prize, everything will eventual come home to roost.  

A huge thank you for this post and reminding me of why I love this damn biz so much.  

I’m still panting like Pavlov’s dog with this special treat. Keep em’ coming

		<description>Thanks Mark...

I&#039;ve always thought a little obsession goes
a long way. It&#039;s worked for me anyway.

I guess it&#039;s all good just as long as your end
objectives are sound.
