Blogging is something that is a lot like writing a book (for most people). When you start, you just do it in your free time. Then, you start to get some feedback from people and you find out that it could maybe become something more.
Then you have to choose to do it for real or keep it only a side project.
When you choose to make it a priority, it has to be for the good reason. Feedback, good or bad, will not drive you to write more. It’s only a way to know if there’s some people really reading what you post.
Good reason are all about deep and profound ideal that you want to share. You need to write something that you will be happy for doing so in 10 years.
Too many people think that they will become rich with a blog. The sad reality is that it’s only a very few bloguer that are making enough to live with their blog. And among those, only a very few are making it to the top.
No one can say where your blog will end up. It’s all up to you to keep writing even if you don’t get the result you want.
Capitalism is based on the concept of buying stuff. Lots and lots of stuff.
With covid-19, I have found out that I was spending a lot of money for things that I can live without. If I can live without those things, it’s not necessary for me to buy them.
If we can learn to control what we spend, we can learn to save enough to build a second income from safe investment.
« Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling that desire. »
– Epictetus
Delay the enjoyment will help you to build the second income that will give you the time to enjoy even more of what you desire.
Learn to Delay and you’ll learn one of the basic of getting rich.
