When ads don't convert or your store flops, you're not losing money. You're gaining XP. Each failed bet teaches you something that gets you closer to the income level you want. Enough XP and you level up.

One of the things that happens when you're broke is that you bet on stuff and then it doesn't work and people feel like they're back at zero. But you're not back at zero. You're at where you were plus one experience. If you run an ad and it doesn't work, it costs money. If you want to set up a Shopify store or an e-commerce store, it costs money. But when you have plus 18 experiences, all of a sudden you level up one. So you didn't trade it for nothing. You got an experience point. And with enough experience points, you get to the next level. And so I think if you just even thought about it like that, it's not a loss, but an experience point. It could get you— it could bridge the gap between your current income level and the income level that you want to get to. And then guess Guess what? There's more experience worth that you have to get there.
