AskHeatherG
Take me for example. I started my AskHeatherG Blog in 2009. Unfortunately, I wasn't diligent in my postings because of my mindset and ill preparation. In the beginning, I thought that my following/ readership was going to come quickly and in droves, but when I saw that it wasn't I was discouraged.... that easily, I was knocked off of my game. However, I now realize that losing faith in what I was doing because I wasn't seeing the result I wanted to see, was the fastest way to postpone my vision. For a moment, I was caught up in the idea of my blog not generating a substantial income. Then I was suckered in by trying to write on topics that got more "clicks," like celebrity gossip and fashion, and while those topics are of interest to me, living a healthy and beautiful lifestyle is what I have been placed here to share with you. I quickly realized that gossip and the superficial isn't true to my calling or my message (not in the context I was sharing it). Yes, I am still on a journey to building continuous success through both my blog and online boutique, but I have learn a valuable lesson along the way.
If anyone knows Oprah's story, you 'd know that she literally built her career one day at a time. She wasn't worried about competition, she was simply focused on what made her soul smile. With that mentality she has built an empire, but better believe, it took 10+ years before she even saw a paycheck that looked half as good as anyone working a job fresh out of college. The struggle is real and my only advice is stay true (and consistent) to it and yourself.
Good Luck!
