Despite the varying responses I get from people, which are a mix of positive, negative, and neutral, I will continue to post every day. The reality is that there as many people who want me to post less as much as the people who love that I post as much as I do. Regardless, I will stay true to myself and my vision!!!
Have you ever considered that all the things you want to do can be done in an easy way? For whatever reason, it's common for us to think things have to be hard, take tons of effort, and cause a lot of suffering. If you want to create a blog and run one, it is a lot easier than you think. Here's what to do.
If you're reading this, I am assuming you're currently creating a website or are considering creating a website. If that is the case, congrats! I acknowledge that you are taking action in your life and are looking to leverage the experience of others to expedite your success.
On that note, here are some winning mindset tips for creating a website or blog that have helped me stay consistent and positive in creating my own website:
Creating your own website is like raising your own child or puppy: it's a long term investment. You're not going to know what you're doing at first, you're going to make mistakes, and nobody is going to visit your site - AT FIRST.
By adopting a long-term thinking mindset, you'll focus more on daily growth than short-term failure.
Create content knowing that people are going to be viewing it in the future, as well as today.
The value in your content is not in who sees it today, it's in who sees it - period.
So focus more on creating content consistently, forever, than getting views or getting dollars today.
There's a reason why you're so jazzed about creating a website. Keep that reason in mind, especially if you encounter resistance or doubt from yourself or others.
It is 100% possible to achieve whatever vision you have, even if nobody else has done it before. Trust yourself!
There are a ton of ways to create an awesome, successful website.
If you search the web, you'll find courses, both free and for pay, that will suggest a full on, step-for-step way to build a successful website. Feel free to adopt any strategies or tips from those resources.
Ultimately though, do it your way, and learn from your own experience
As they say "Rome wasn't built in a day." Neither will your website.
It is an ever growing process, in which you will always be improving your website!
The biggest challenge I faced when I first started developing my website, was the lack of perceived success. In my eyes, if my content wasn't going viral or if my affiliate links were bringing in any money, then I'm failing. Similarly, when I'd promote an article or my website on facebook, the lack of likes and comments it would get were disheartening.
By utilizing the 5 tips above, I shifted my mindset, which changed the way I viewed success in terms of building a website. As content creators, we're creating something for lifetime views not 1,000,000 views today.
Cheers!!
I’m BAAAACCCCKKKK (at least for a day haha!) In this post, I let go of all my guilty feelings/thoughts and finally share with you all something I want to say! YAY!
My High School English teacher, Mr. Lewis, made the class freewrite for 5 minutes at the beginning of every class. It was the best, and it still is! This post includes a freewrite of today and a copy of a freewrite entry from back in high school. ENJOY SOME CHOCOLATE! (read post to understand wtf that means lmao)
We must let go of who we were in the past in order to make room for who we want to become. This post marks the end of a most remarkable chapter in my life. One filled with unprecedented results in my personal life. We’re talking getting a six pack, earning my first paying clients as a Life Coach, making my first $100 dollars of passive income, writing/publishing my first ebook to Amazon, starting my own blog and YouTube channel, and impacting 100s of lives!
And guess what, it’s all over! No, not my pursuit of bigger goals, but the chapter that includes the accomplishment of the above goals. So, as we ink the final pages of this first chapter, we acknowledge that it’s over.
Next Chapter Incoming!!!
