I'm Sad – Because I Was Right!

RE-TWEET IT!

BlogRush died.

John Reese just announced on his blog that he’s shutting it down.

I predicted it wouldn’t work – and explained why, while saying I hoped I would be wrong… even suggesting another way it could be re-positioned with a better chance of working well for members.

Anyway, that’s history.

John’s wrong about one thing, though. He says: “…many BlogRush critics… (will) relish in saying, “I told you so”…”.

Only ‘losers’ and ‘failures’ would “relish” someone else’s failure. Out of every 20 ideas I try out, 19 fail. One succeeds. And even then, only the rare one succeeds wildly.

Anyone who has enjoyed the sweet taste of meaningful success will only sympathize with John, share some sadness, and proudly acknowledge the attempt of an innovative entrepreneur to create something of value.
