But remember that when you have done everything possible and you are completely out of breath from exhaustion, your still rolling the dice and only a few percent will truly make it and be accepted. If you really analyze success stories, you will find that for everyone that truly made it, there were thousands equally talented, ready, trying and willing etc that didn't make it.. Thats called the "last element of chance" or right place at the right time paradigm. I'm just trying to show that there are forced beyond your control in any endeavor.Good night and good luck!

I hit a day that I realized I had downloaded more ebooks and generated more traffic for other blogs rather than creating that kind of traffic for my own. I was being the consumer not the business owner! At that point, I made a change...and a lot has changed since then!Robb Tia…

All of last year I've bought products, subscribed to ezines and gathered hundreds of emails with "very important info that I'll use someday" - Ha! ha! Ha!Luckily, I do take action about half the time so I'm doing ok with my blog but I know I could be doing so much more to get to the next level (I'm working on it).I have learned though, that unless you know have a good reason to be doing what you do, one probably won't take action. A 100% commitment is needed to become better than good. And THAT's where most people fall. If we aren't committed and passionate about our writing/business, there's a high chance we'll look for the next easy tip rather than take action.In a way it's mindboggling - the amount of time and effort we spend on reading and learning far outweighs that needed to actually take action!Reckon it's the 1) fear of failure 2) lack of a compelling reason that makes people do (or not do) that. Anyhoo, we'll beat that curse ;)Cheers! Tia @tiasparkles I agree mate.. it’s the bane of humankind!

It is easy to get stuck in thought over action. The only way to really learn what works is by doing it! I struggle with it too sometimes…it’s that practice what you preach mentality.

I tend to push new bloggers to execute rather than think. Doing anything towards their goal is better than just about anything else they could be doing. Although, at times I still struggle with this myself! I couldn’t agree more Robb. I tend to push new bloggers to execute rather than think.
