One particularly unpleasant online marketer (sorry can’t remember his name or his site as he was poisonous), one of those types that is constantly negative about other people, used the term window washer (or window cleaner) to describe someone who was looking in at the successful people and trying to emulate what they did, or stealing their ideas.
Now the term might be very common in IM circles, or just this guy’s little joke, but at the time it hit a chord with me.
I don’t know where I am in the scheme of things. I am not as successful as I would like to be (yet) and I seem to be pedaling but not in gear. I am watching and learning and in some things I think I am going pretty well, in others I fear I am considered a window washer.
Why is it there are probably 5 or more successful male IMs to each female? Is it because we don’t have that male self possession that drives you through these very doubts. Maybe.
I really need a mentor that I can bounce this stuff off….
