Blogging becomes rewarding for persistent bloggers who follow the basics.

Blogging becomes difficult – then flat out impossible – for bloggers who quit on the basics. Some bloggers give up on blogging. How can you succeed if you give up before giving any real effort to blogging?

Observe yourself in the light of truth. How quickly and easily do you give up on blogging? Giving up the moment you feel uncomfortable signals a serious blogging problem. Growth, success and freedom flows to you well outside of your comfort zone. No one succeeds by making comfortable blogging decisions over years. But most bloggers struggle because the blogging masses give up on blogging after edging into a little bit of writer’s block, after the first rejection and after 3-6 months of following the blogging fundamentals.

How can you turn things around? How can you see the blogging journey through?

Follow these tips.

Pick a Freeing and Fun Driver

I have virtually zero issues persisting with blogging. I love having fun and being free to circle the globe. But do not assume I persist because I am living my dreams already; I had to blog for fun and freedom well before living my dreams through blogging. Blogging gets easier if you blog for fun and freedom, even if discomfort greets you. Blog for fun. Blog for freedom. Only you know what fun and freedom goads you to edge outside of your comfort zone. Whether blogging from home with your family or circling the globe like me, pick your version of fun and freedom to never quit on blogging.

Set Realistic Expectations

Bloggers often set wild, unrealistic expectations as newbies.

How do you expect to persist if you do not reach goals quickly?

Most bloggers give up on blogging as reality quickly sets in. I almost quit blogging 2 days into my career. My wife convinced me off of the ledge, explaining how I would learn it all and succeed after a long time. I became completely intimidated by the volume of learning and work required to master blogging; I had big goals to achieve, fast! How could I make big bucks fast if I had to spend a long time learning, practicing and mastering blogging?

Being realistic about my expectations stabilized my energy for years and many 1000’s of blogging hours. I never quit on blogging because I knew blogging success would be a slow, steady journey of doing simple things daily over years. Why quit on a gig I experienced slow, steady success, through? Blogging became easier for me. I never wanted to quit. Everything expanded but only because I had realistic expectations.

Reign in your expectations. Be realistic. No worries; you can and will live your wildest dreams but set long time frames filled with ample, intelligent, generous work to live your dreams through blogging.
