My reaction every time there's a new guerilla thread

This one is no exception. Thanks bro
 
I remember when I first bought link farm evolution and I knew nothing about seo. I PM'd you and asked if you wouldn't mind if I bent your ear because I was totally lost with SEO. That PM turned into months of help on skype with me anxiously waiting each chat for more eye opening knowledge and friendly conversations.

Although I never mention publicly your enormous help for fear of you getting bombarded with requests, I'm truly grateful. I'm still here even though I don't post much, I'm quietly in the corner working away. Thanks again for all your help, you've changed my life for me and my family forever.

Awesome post buddy!

Honored to be up there with some great people, and in general to have discussed anything marketing/business related with you.

Around this time my best friend died of a drug overdose. I felt pretty bad about it, because in hindsight, there were times he was reaching out to me and if I had been there, maybe things would have turned out different. But I wasn't there because I had tunnel vision with my work, my business and the effects that declining health have on one's ability to accept more responsibility and opportunity.

I didn't break down, because I don't break down. I just absorbed it all. All of the loss and all of the anger, and frustration, and helplessness. That's what I have always done. I soak it up and carry it with me.

My family didn't really have the resources to handle my step dad being out of commission and my mother at his side, so I started to liquidate everything, and to push my savings towards my parents and sister who took time off work to be with them. After my dad came out of his coma, he was in bad shape, and I flew across the country to see my folks, and to first hand assess the situation. I will simply say that it was bad and on the way home, I decided I had to shut down my e-comm business because I couldn't run it effectively and still be available at the drop of a hat to help my parents.

Crazy how similar we've had it and I had no idea.
 
Posts like this make me want rub salmon all over my body and fight a bear. Then I realize bears are much stronger than I am so I just get back to work a little more inspired and wiser.
 
Great post bud! It's intriguing to hear how people like yourself got started in all this.
 
Gaming Google had become very easy pre-Panda. Not just easy for the top 3 or 5% of SEOs. It was (and probably still is) very easy for them. It became easy for everyone. People who knew nothing about SEO at a technical level, had very little understanding of the history or techniques of search, etc. If you could run a link building tool, or recruit 3rd world labor (while being in the 3rd world) then you could be a “professional SEO”.

So. Damn. True. Only when BMR and ALN fell did I start to even learn what real internet marketing/SEO is. Got a long way to go but I know so much more now than I did a year ago. But that should what life is about anyway---being wiser today than you were yesterday. For one, I am completely glad that the barrier to entry has been raised (both in terms of talent and money). Thanks for the post.
 
Terrific thread, G, worthy of the 10k post. Since you're here to stay you can start thinking about your 20k post thread in advance. Good luck!
PS: +1 for Taleb and Mark Twain
 
I am new here but Geurilla has been my favorite poster so far butkiss.jpg
I have went through and read many of the 10k that he drops knowledge on.
Keep it up man, I appreciate and value your input.
 
I don't know where my life would be right now without Guerilla. He's been a mentor, friend, and business partner. He really changed my perspective on business and life.

Cheers man, started from the bottom....

The Takeaway: Learn to see past your own delusional thinking in order to perceive reality clearly and create shortcuts, and quit hanging around negative, pessimistic, crabs-in-a-bucket assholes.

Thanks, brotha! We all can benefit from one good emotional fall so we can get a frame of reference on our life and figure out what we truly prioritize and how we truly 'exist'. Then we can change it while actually knowing what it is we are changing and knowing where we are going.

Great post!
