Sometimes Knowing What YOU Want Takes Time

The first thing I wanted to do was start a blog within a niche that I’m passionate about. That was blogging. General but true.

So I went about it and took action and did some research within affiliated areas. Still no topic found.

This gave me some ideas of product relevancy but it was mostly researching.

The beautiful thing is sometimes knowing what YOU want takes time. And that’s OK.

I’m not rushing myself anywhere for the time being. There’s lots of room to learn and more for improvement. So give yourself enough ample time to find out what it is that you want to blog about. Even if your topic is waxing and waning, eventually you’ll find something worth blogging towards.

Believe!

Now this is common and overused but it’s true. Without believing in what it is that you’re doing you’re going to burn it all the way to the ground. It takes a little effort and some guts to go out there. It’s not easy some days because there isn’t credibility to what it is that you’re doing. But I’m sure the pros, gurus or whatever you like to call the minority of successes online are saying that they were just like us somewhere down the line. They wanted to add value to what it is that they’re doing as well.

I was watching Joel Comm’s 7 Keys to Success today and even though it was simple, it got me.

He is a pretty likable guy. His funny flying monkey trailer got me cracking up to pieces. What I really got when I finished was an assurance that everybody has to start somewhere. We all have a dream which won’t go away. So no matter how small or BIG, when it does become large enough for you to act on it, you have to believe. Then you have to prepare yourself for what it is that you’re going to do through reading books and getting familiar with your topic.

We all start somewhere.

But the most important thing which Joel mentions and which I’m guilty of forever not doing is acting on my dream. You don’t have to know everything about what it is that you’re doing. Just take action and put yourself out there. Go towards it.

Fail fast!

You’ll learn as you’re swimming through finding what it is that you’re doing and you’ll find people which will relate to you.

The flying monkey trailer is a token to have fun. You got to love what you’re doing and be passionate about it. Finally continue to grow in your pursuit. There’s so much advancement in life whether it’s finding a business partner to venture with, a new idea for a book, outsourcing work, continue to fuel the passion for your niche.

I’m inspired by these simple keys and I’m going to keep them next to my table as I blog each day. I want to remind myself that it’s the little things that count and it’s OK to take my time in knowing what it is that I want to blog about.

Here are my notes on the the video. Go ahead and download it, hopefully it’ll help you think about success in a new way as well.
