Must Success Always Start With Failure?

This is true, but when it comes to google serp; it is hard to classify a mistake as a mistake. That makes the game tougher, I think. For example, you might not be penalised even if you made a mistake. On another blog, you might be penalised for some neg seo that you didn't obviously do to yourself. On a third blog, you might rank for no reason whatsoever. As @VSYNC pointed out, there are no rules. That's pretty hard to digest as a seo/imer. I do not care about it a lot, because I have other revenue streams, but I feel sorry for those who do. No wonder @bartosimpsonio calls google retarded.

You are competing with millions of other people, no matter what you try to do. There are limited SERPs positions, limited user views, limited etc etc

There are no rules.

Maybe a person needs to fail to learn so they are more experienced than other people, they might eventually make $100,000 per year.

Maybe a person might think outside the box, dedicate weeks to reading up on others who have gone down the same path, learn from other peoples' mistakes, and without failure earn $200,000 per year.

Another person might have $500,000 funding to start a business, keep making mistakes, not learn from them, and the business might completely fail.

There's no rules. If you want to compete you can't think like you have to do this or you have to do that. You create the rules.

The people that really want to win will win - maybe they fail along the way, maybe they're cunning and they don't need to, but if you give up when you fail you guarantee that you'll never do anything you're proud of because people always mistake failure for the end of the road, when it's just a time to pause and rethink the plan of attack.

I started blogging few weeks ago, new domain and I'm struggling to post fresh/unique contents every ones in few days, its a programming/datascience niche so posting on a daily basis isn't easy..

It is kind of discouraging seeing people from here announcing how many times they failed before finally getting things right. Does it mean that there aren't people who got it right the first time and continued to thrive afterwards?
Why has failure before success been Normalized in this community?

Some of us don't have the luxury of failing and trying again, because we are starting with all we have, and that "all we have" is Nothing.

Not always. The first app I made brought me $200 per day. The first website I made could rank on Google for #1.

Simply make sure you do everything correctly. Most important: You need patience.

Without commitment, you'll never start. Without consistency, you'll never finish. Keep it in mind.
