It's in those early days when we become overly sensitive to the ebbs and flows of our online traffic. You share some great insight into the benefits of focusing on the truly important things. Great reminder!

My blog is pretty new and I am just now getting in the swing of things. Its so easy to be obsessive even though my blog is only a part of my business. My biggest question is; is it possible for my blog to grow in this niche.

Like I said Eric's one sentence made all the difference. I going for the joy! Edward, everyone says to be patient thanks for stopping by. I've realized it's better to write less and enjoy more. Thanks Barbara, That's my new plan! I also need to remember there are others reading and not commenting. Helping them is what counts. Neil,

Edward, everyone says to be patient thanks for stopping by. I’ve realized it’s better to write less and enjoy more.

Thanks Barbara, That’s my new plan! I also need to remember there are others reading and not commenting. Helping them is what counts.

When I started blogging nearly 20 months ago I was a complete stataholic. It took awhile, but I finally settled in and started enjoying the journey. All of your advice is spot on. Stay positive, be patient, and don't forget to enjoy life. In time it all starts to come together.

Great advice! I started a blog last year, and just like you said, I was way too busy being focused on 'stats and comments.' Somewhere during that self inflicted madness, I forgot the joy of writing! I started to loathe blogging. It definitely got me off track. I ended up not blogging. It wasn't until recently that I looked back and was able to see my mistake, Now my blog is back up and I am able to enjoy the joy of writing and sharing my thoughts by focusing on what is important.

I find myself in the same position as you. My blog is 2 months old and growing, granted it's growing slowly. Much slower than I would like or had anticipated. Fair enough, in evaluating things I realize I picked an over-saturated niche so the results aren't suprising. The result is to adjust my focus and keep plugging along. My goal has always been to provide insight/advice. However, it's also been to build my digital footprint and resume which will only happen if I continue over the longhaul. During my short blogging journey a good friend has caught the bug and now we are planning a joint venture. Not for profits (though that would be nice) but rather for the joy of it. At the end of the day that's what it's really about. If you aren't enjoying blogging, stop. If it isn't doing something to improve your life, stop.
