Your results in life are all about your discipline. Notice that I say this and yet I have not disciplined myself to post to my blog on a regular basis? I could make an excuse and say; oh nobody really reads it, I don't have tiem or they never submit comments, and so on but the truth of the matter is that it is not a priority. Why is that? No cheese down that hole. What does that mean?
It means that writing this blog has not been as fulfilling as I had planned. Part of that is because I haven't had that many viewers but part of it is that I had no clear direction when I created this blog so its been a mishmash of dross that no one apparently misses when its not there. now that is not me feeling sorry for myself, that is me acknowledging that I failed to adequately plan and produce not only quality but consistency.
I say all of this because I hope that you can see that planning is crucial to success. You can't set out to have a great blog that millions flock to and then it just happens any more than you can sit down and write a bestselling book. What you end up with is wasted time, effort and something nobody wants to read. Yes, I do know that I am a competent writer but attracting followers isn't just about the writing. The subjects, the writers personality and a lot more come thru too but ultimately its having a plan and being consistent with it for blogging or for anything else in life that brings success. You pay the price of discilpine or you pay the price of regret; either way you gotta pay.
Hope you all learned something here today. If you did that's great, find something in your life that you do in a halfassed way and either stop doing it or master it--there is no in between.
