One Word: Out-Sourcing! :-) Live and Learn (& Check out MyInternetBusiness!)
It has been said, “A smart person learns from his own mistakes—but a truly wise person learns from other’s mistakes!”
Well . . . here’s your chance to learn from mine!
One of my definite short-comings is the need to take on too much and do tasks that I should be out-sourcing . . . especially when I lack the expertise needed to do it.
Case in point: Today I decided to upgrade to the latest version of Word-Press (I don’t know why; everthing was just fine & I don’t think I really needed to).
In this process—not having a clue in what I’m doing . . . my usual state of being just knowlegeable to make a mess! LOL!!! — I managed to create a huge train-wreck! ;-/
Short story long . . . I erased my blog! Nnnniiiicccce!
(Okay, I’m not all that dumb . . . I did join MyInternetBusiness, after all)
Lessons Learned:
1) Outsource tasks that you don’t know how to do
2) If you do want to try it yourself . . . back up your files first if possible!
3) If you do totally screw up? (like I did) It is, as it is. I caught myself starting to mourn the time spent and the info lost . . . Not worth it!
Can a moment’s remorse and emotional agony bring back my time or, in this case, my blog posts! Nope! So instead, I had a huge laugh at myslef, “What a Dufus!!!” Then moved on.
I think I may be able to locate the file that holds all my missing posts, but if not that’s okay.
I’m excited about my Fresh Start! This blog will be the “New and Improved” Tranques Blog 2.0
