Hi ALL! I am George Pierce, and I am fortunate to have many online successes, but this post is different, it is about online failures. I believe that I am the KING of online mistakes, and probably in the top ten for online failures. Why a post about failure? How is failure going to help your online success?
I believe our failures help us much more than our successes! What is so great about the Internet is that we can keep our online ventures at or near zero cost. What this means is that when things do not work as planned online, and for many of my early months, very little worked for me, our financial loss is zero. I have about 20 years of online experience, and the first year or so was a disaster. My results were almost zero...I should have quit, but I was convinced that internet marketing did work, and would work for me. It took me what seemed forever to figure things out, and, fortunately, I am still making mistakes! I am still figuring things out!
About Me:
I love to learn, and I love a challenge. I enjoy trying new things, and, online, new things seem to be endless. I also view failures and mistakes as learning experiences, the best learning experiences.
The following is one of my mistakes. It is BAD, so bad, the video is private.
The video above is my first attempt at combining AI music with AI video. The music is by Suno, it is free and amazing. The video is by HeyGen, also free and also amazing. The problems with the video are obvious, the fix...not so obvious. AHA, I smell a challenge! Better control of the AI-generated avatar is needed, but not an option. Uh OH! The fix (I believe) is to insert 'prompts' in the 'script', which will allow me to 'direct' the avatar the way I want. But I do not know how! Another challenge!
ChatGPT and CoPilot, which are free, can help with almost anything, so AI will help me figure out which gestures and prompts are best, and then how to insert them into the script. The benefit, my videos should be better than most of the competition.
Mistakes and failures make some people quit, but what if you do not quit? Embrace your mistakes and your failures, and learn all you can.
Thank you for reading.
Much Success,
George Pierce

Mistakes can be great learning experiences, when we treat them as such. Thank you for sharing the perspective, George.
