👨🏼‍🔬 Why I Failed Science

MY TEACHER SUCKED 🤬

My junior high school science teacher made me read about science. He also made me listen to him talk about science. Worse yet, he made me watch him demonstrate science projects.

I detested reading, listening and paying attention … so, I failed.

But when I look back, it’s more like he failed me.

THE OTHER “E” WORD 😮

I interact with numerous entrepreneurs every week. Some are succeeding, many are hoping to. The common trait among those who excel is this:

They are Experimenters.

They all fiddle around and try things until they get it right. And by "experiment," I don't mean they simply read one more book or watch one more YouTube video or attend one more workshop.

They roll up their sleeves, try sh*t, and learn from the process.

Today, I apply the same approach to my business ideas and ventures. I experiment until I nail it, or at least until it brings joy to people and makes me money. 🤑

That’s all I’ve EVER wanted to do, even as a middle schooler:

• I didn’t want to look at pictures of the inside of a frog; I wanted to dissect one and see firsthand.

• I didn't want to speculate about music's effect on plant growth; I wanted to place similar potted plants near separate boom boxes playing different genres of music to see if it made a difference.

• I wasn't interested in purchasing a lava lamp; I wanted to create one using everyday materials like water, oil, food coloring, and effervescent tablets.

JUST LET ME TRY STUFF!!!

MAKING SCIENCE COOL, AGAIN 😎

I know it’s cooler to call yourself an Entrepreneur rather than an Experimenter. But the ones who are succeeding are those who are dissecting, testing and creating.

Maybe you need to experiment with:

• different social platforms

• an email newsletter

• video posts

• website SEO

• a membership site

• landing pages

• etc.
