    “Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.” ― Georgia O’Keeffe

    Last week I discussed different ways to handle setbacks and how important it is to have a contingency plan and a positive attitude to get through those tough times.  This week it is all about celebrating triumphs and giving yourself credit for a job well done.

    • Celebrating and benefiting from your accomplishments reinforces your enthusiasm and makes you less likely to abandon your blogging vision.
    • It is extremely important to make note of your goals, target dates and always keep track of your successes, because being fully aware of how far you have come will keep you pumped and wanting more.
    • Enjoying and taking the time to cherish every moment and noting that each sacrifice you make strengthens your will and determination to grow.
    • Recognize your value and appreciate your progress because absolutely no one can stimulate that for you.
    • Shut down the cynics and pessimists. Ignore the negativity, as there is no room for that in quest to succeed.

    Keep in mind, every experience throughout your blogging journey should strengthen your passion and add fuel to your desire to leave a lasting impression in this space.  So take pleasure in each and every one of them.

  2. Summer Strategy Series: 4 Ways to Build Success

    2 Comments


    Over the past few weeks, I have been focusing on utilizing different strategies using your online presence to build success.  This week, I will step away from that (for just a bit) and share a few ways to help you reach your goal of building success.

    One thing to keep in mind is not to underestimate the difficulty of reaching your goals and achieving success. Thinking things will come to you effortlessly will leave you unprepared and often leads to failure.  Achieving goals requires time and believing in your ability to succeed will help you stay focused and motivated.

    1. Be precise.  Know what you want and create very specific goals and actions to accomplish them.  Setting clear goals lets you see firsthand what success can feel like.  Know what it is that you want to achieve and get there.  “Write a blog post from 1-2pm” is an example of a specific goal as opposed to “write a post today”.  Being clear and detailed allows you to check more things off your list. 
    2. Take action.  Once your goals are outlined, decide on the time and place each action will take place. Don’t miss out on opportunities because they have been overlooked.
    3. Strength of mind. Challenge yourself to do things out of your comfort zone. Acquire new skills, set up meetups, create a community, speak at a conference, write an e-book, self publish, etc.
    4. Determination. Commit to your long-term goals. Believe in yourself, your brand and your ability to get things done.  With effort, preparation and determination you will have what it takes to succeed.

    I strongly believe building success is more about what you do and not necessarily because of who you are. Always focus your efforts on the things you will do and stop focusing on what you can’t do.

    Be an optimist and believe in your ability to succeed.
