Second Chance: Life & SEO
Opportunities, they say, come but once. But I beg to differ from that notion and paraphrase it slightly – Opportunities come, not only once. If you’re lucky! Some are lucky to get it twice.?
Consider this scenario: You were invited for an occasion but couldn’t make it because you didn’t have the perfect clothes to wear or you didn’t have transport fare.

Now you regret why you didn’t show up even with the little you have, why you didn’t ask for help when necessary, why you didn’t speak up...why, why, why. You are now begging to be invited to the next event but then you didn’t get any invite for the next 10 events and then one day your earnest wishes came: someone remembered to call you. You were so excited! Yes, finally! Immediately you start preparing, making sure you don’t do anything that will let this opportunity slide just like the first...?

Second chances, in life or in SEO, do not always come easily. But when they do come, they provide us with a golden opportunity to try something different, something new and better. If you get a second chance at anything, take the time for deep self-reflection, gather determination, and muster the resilience to fully engage in the opportunity.
