#8 — A collaborative series with Grandma Smillew

Profiting from Misadventure: Make Money No Matter Your Mistakes

How I kept earning after getting blocked from commenting on Medium

Long-term success in life requires us to turn misadventure into profit. With the right mindset, this is both fun and rewarding.

In the previous article of this series, Grandma Smillew revealed why being blocked from commenting is a body blow for ambitious writers.

The block doesn’t have to slow us down. Why? Well, for one, if you can’t comment, write about it.

And more broadly in life, explore whatever setbacks you encounter until you figure out a workaround.

  • It keeps you focused on productive pursuits
  • You come up with sometimes surprisingly great solutions
  • People love reading about your struggles and how you overcame them

Sometimes getting blocked is the best thing that can happen to us.

The irony is palpable. I got blocked again while working on this series.
