Business doesn\u2019t have a template. Being rich isn\u2019t an equation. Or is it?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I might argue that there is a clear equation to success \u2014 but the thing about the equation is that one part of the equation is dynamic \u2014 it\u2019s chaotic. Because of this, the overarching path to success isn\u2019t the same for all people. Some things, though, pervade throughout many different subjects. <\/p>\n

If you recreate Microsoft exactly, you have intelligent users who know that you have replicated Microsoft, and thus, won\u2019t give your business any credence. Therefore, your product must be the same, but different. Quick Online Tips, for example, is one of many successful online tip blogs. But it didn\u2019t follow the template of thousands of other blogs. <\/p>\n

It likely did many things the same \u2014 heck, it probably did everything the same \u2014 but the definitive things that make you stand out were different. They were hybridized. <\/p>\n

What things am I talking about? What kind of great content they created. How they found Twitter followers. How they promoted their blog. Everything was a little bit different, but if they read the overarching tips and applied them, they\u2019d succeed. The things like working hard. Finding influencers to spread your content. Creating great content. Making strong calls to action. <\/p>\n

And what current runs through all these things? They\u2019re abstracts. They aren\u2019t clearly defined. If you find anything that is clearly defined, it\u2019s wrong. Because, with anything that deals with people, the environment is chaotic. But we can still find patterns in our behavior, which is what leads us to these abstractions of \u201cwhat works\u201d and \u201cwhat doesn\u2019t\u201d. With things like math equations or how to get from point A to point B best, there\u2019s an answer. Because it\u2019s constant.<\/p>\n

But blogging isn\u2019t constant, because you\u2019re dealing with subjects that are chaotic. But as I said, you have a chance to succeed by thinking of success not by \u201cI need to do exactly what blog A did\u201d, but rather, \u201cI need to follow the patterns blog A used to succeed\u201d, and do that. <\/p>\n

Because, maybe, if you were the exact same scenario as blog A, you could exactly replicate what they\u2019ve done. But the thing is, things have changed. The people who read his blog are now in different spots in their lives. New technologies exist. And those readers have already read blog A, so there\u2019s little room for a blog with the exact same voice and content. <\/p>\n

Calm Within Chaos
\nIf we want to look at blogging like some super intense math geek, we can see that yes, possibly, there is some answer to full exposure and success, based on the intense set of variables that are occurring in the world. But this is impossible to determine. So, instead, we resort to hanging around the area of success \u2014 and by understanding that, have a better chance to gain victory in the endgame. <\/p>\n

People who succeed know how to hang around the main concepts \u2014 and within that, pivot and adjust.<\/p>\n
