I Teach Blogging: Blogging | WordPress

Sometimes a tip or an event by itself doesn't exactly make sense for a full podcast. This is why I am going to experiment here with a Recap episode. It will be a highlight of a few things that happened that seem worthy of a quick conversation or a random tip that I learned along the way.

1. Did you know that canva can do this?
2. Where did my blog post go?
3. A clients website was down and giving a 500 error.
4. I got content out of sync.
5. I shouldn't have bought that theme story

So let me ask you, what makes you stand out in the crowd? What makes your blog or your business or YOU different? Do YOUR thing!

TRY is a terrible word!

It is offensive.

Don't even bother with it. Try means that you aren't really going to do.

Instead either say that's nice OR I am going to do that.

But!

Saying that you are going to do that isn't good enough. Say it with structure.

Follow this process:

1. Set a goal

2. Give it a time limit

3. Give yourself a punishment for not achieving it.

You can get a lot more mileage out of a single blog post if you republish it on multiple platforms. Here are 10 places to republish a blog post.

I am also insanely boring. People tell me that I am wrong but if you lived with me you would know the truth.

For me a darn good time is an evening in front of the tv. Right now I am binge watching Rizzoli and Isles. It is such a fun show!

So when I ran across a post on pro blogger today about how to disrupt and get noticed, I stopped in my tracks!

Just Because you aren't making the progress as fast as you think you should, doesn't mean you're not making progress. Keep going! ~Unkown

When I saw this quote this morning it seriously resonated. It is so easy to say "I tried!" You can even feel good about that. You can say that you gave it your best shot but it didn't work out.

Did you though?

Perhaps you should have kept going??

Sure, there is a time to walk away and accept failure. Failure isn't all bad by the way. There is a lot of value in failure.

The lessons learned when something bombs are so worth it but only if you apply it.

So if you are considering giving up because it is too hard or it doesn't feel like it will ever work, don't. Not today!

Don't give up today!

Give it one more month. Give it one more try.

In this podcast episode Meghan and I have some real talk about mindset. Compare and despair has become a real serious problem in the entrepreneurial space. It is so common for someone who is just starting out with a blog or a business or an idea to compare themselves to someone else who is ahead of them in the process.

To be more creative with your blogging we need to say yes to more adventures. As an entrepreneur we need to remember to say yes more.

This is terrible!

BUT, it did get me to thinking about something.

I could either use it as an excuse NOT to achieve this big goal OR I could use it as a form of determination.
