I would like to know what was the income in the first months of this blog instead of the present one.  Maybe no income at all... lol... that's what I mean... and keep on posting and keep on thinking when you see not much happens... is kind a different thing of courage... |
I believe the idea you're describing is what Napoleon Hill called FAITH in Think and Grow Rich. You are totally right. It takes FAITH while you're still not getting results doing what you love to stick with it. Sure it's easy when you're already making money doing what you love, but at first it's not so easy.
One thing that I do is keep a personal journal. What I do is I go back to times when I wasn't succeeding at something yet and I read about how I used to think at that time. Why? Because it's important to understand your way of thinking BEFORE You became successful. A lot of "Guru's" forget the difficulties, the self-doubt, the fears they had to face, the courage it took, etc.
It makes people who aren't there yet think that they are such losers when they don't yet 100% believe in themselves etc. when the "Guru's" don't admit to being human and going through all this stuff themselves.
I'll admit right now that before I ever launched my first blog I made all kinds of excuses, I doubted my ability to write and communicate with people in written form, I worried about my friends and family reading it etc. Those are all normal emotions to have during that time and it's OK. It's a process and it takes a bit of time to get going but slowly you overcome all the obstacles one by one and you're on your way.
If you're not 100% confident yet doing what you love and making money doing it I would encourage you to visit my blog and sign up for my newsletter. I will be addressing all this kind of stuff there.
