What is holding you back?
Why haven’t you changed the world with your blogging? Why aren’t you pulling in 6 figures in your online venture? Why are you still working your day job and moonlighting as a blogger? There has to be something holding you back. There must be a reason why you haven’t yet had the success that you want. And there is. But it’s not what you think it is.
You probably think you haven’t been successful because you haven’t caught a big break. Or perhaps you’re still in the sandbox, so it’s really Google’s fault for not indexing you properly. Maybe you just can’t get people to link to your site.
If you’re thinking along these lines, you are thinking completely wrong. The only thing holding you back, is you. Nothing more than that. If you haven’t yet been successful, it’s because you don’t want it badly enough. If you truly want success, then you will do all the things that you know will make you successful. You’ll be subscribed to the best blogging tips blogs ( like this one - shameless plug, I know ) , you’ll writing fantastic content that gets links all by itself, you’ll participate in the blogging community to get your name out there. You will come up with some amazing viral marketing idea. If, and only if, you truly want to be successful, then do everything right. Follow the steps, follow the guidelines, and you will achieve your goals.
Do you want it enough to work for it?

This is a good reminder. I would add one thing, though: Patience. I have to remind myself that success won’t happen overnight, but in small steps. I have to keep working toward that every day and never lose sight of the goal. Good post!

Ahh yes, patience is huge. Unless you’re already a big name blogger or a celebrity, then it’s definately going to take some time to builda name, and reach your goals.

I checked out your blog, Gary. It’s pretty cool. Good luck with going full time!

I’m always on the lookout for a new blog about cars - I can’t get enough. I hope you can go full time soon Gary - when the time is right.
