“How you present it makes a big difference.”
I think your posts are very good structured so that I can read very fast over them and get the most important for me. Thanks.

When I was just starting, I also learned a lot from Darren Rowse, and from Yaro Starak. Listening to people with experience is really a great help! I also liked number 4, to set limits and focus only on what’s important. We have but a very limited time to do things, so let’s do the most important ones. Lastly, I guess we should just enjoy what we’re doing! People could feel it and they would be inspired as well.

“Don’t wait for inspiration.”

Sometimes I’m guilty of that. That’s a very wise tip if you don’t want to remain stagnant for too long.

I am in this very path you have previously taken. All is well but hard work, patience, focus and strength of character are my basic foundation.

alot of good points here. When i started carrying around a little pocket notebook i seemed to get more done. Writing blog posts and whatever else comes to mind while i’m out in about or at work i can write it down.
Great post

Good, motivating post. I really agree with a lot of your points, and especially #1. If you wait for those moments of pure energy and drive to get you going, you might end up spending a lot of time on the couch

Mark,

One thing I think is great about this is that it brings out the most authentic version of you. When you try too hard to please other people in your writing you hold back.
