Mike,

You make an excellent point, and remind me how frustrated I get with those that think they can ask a million questions and eventually roll out a winner.

That's now how it works. The so called failures are actually educational, and even if you don't realize it, the exposure you got while you were failing is what you build your success on.

It's the little lessons that you learn along the way that get burned into your subconsious that eventually bring you success. Not the one brilliant idea that most people search for.

Brilliant ideas are a dime a dozen, I get them all day long just like most of you.

They key to making any of them work is to apply them to what you've learned by accident as you've stumbled along, and you will have a winner.

If you never take the chance of stumbling along, you lack the resources to make anything work.

But then again, what do I know?
