Seeing yourself as a pro in the mind’s eye precedes a pro blogging career.
Full time bloggers think, feel and act like full time bloggers well before going pro.
Do you see yourself as a pro blogger now?
Do you imagine yourself to be a pro?
Do you think, feel and act like a pro to position yourself to go pro?
Think Feel and Act Like a Full Time Blogger Now
Picture yourself being a professional blogger now.
Kick the illusion of being an amateur blogger out of your mind.
Treat your blog like a professional venture. Frame your blog through the lens of a full time blogger, in your mind’s eye.
How differently would you treat blogging if you thought like a pro now? Would you write and schedule one blog post daily for 1 week out? Would you write and publish long form blog posts? Would you engage in genuine blogger outreach with professional bloggers?
Every blogger walks a different journey based on intuitive nudges. I have no idea where or how the intuition will guide you. But thinking like a professional now goads one to feel and act like a professional now.
The World Acts Out Your Belief System
Your mind plays out in the world around you.
Everyone acts based on your mindset, right now.
The world is a play under direction from your mind. You are no victim. No one is. But most of us harbor unconscious guilt that appears to be played out due to our victim mentality.
Some bloggers think themselves to be struggling amateurs; and it is so. Renewing your mind to adopt a pro blogger mindset would slowly but surely make that so.
Isn’t this good news?
Refreshing your mind precedes the transformation.
Thinking like a pro, feeling like a pro and acting like a pro could require changes in work terms.
Action tends to be included in these changes.
Habits change, too, much of the time.
Blog Like a Pro
For example, an amateur-thinking blogger may publish one, 600 word post every 3 weeks. Nothing really happens for the blogger because thin content published infrequently inspires few, and is seen by fewer.
As within, so without.
Thinking like a pro now instantly allows in guidance like: give yourself 3-4 hours to write, edit and publish a 1200 word, long form, highly targeted blog post.
Following this guidance is blogging like a pro. Long form, targeted content draws quality, return traffic. Quality traffic grows your blogging business.
Changing action feels fun, freeing and maybe uncomfortable in moments. Publishing long form content nudges you outside of your comfort zone into various fears. Hug, feel and forgive these fears. Proceed to publish the long form content.
After finishing the post, thinking like a pro may guide you to begin writing another long form blog post to schedule for next week.
At this point, you can feel your amateur blogger days dying, leaving this period of struggle behind you.
What changed?
Your mind.
How did you change your mind?
You decided to think, feel and act like a blogging pro.
Dream the Benefits of the Pro Blogger Lifestyle
Being free to circle the globe or work at home feels fun.
Dwell on this fun emotion. Step into your vision of freedom.
How would it feel to circle the globe for months? How would it feel to work from home?
Fall in love with these emotions to instill a pro blogger frame of mind.
Stoking your desire fire to experience freedom nudges one to begin thinking, feeling and acting like a pro.
Amateur blogging momentum appears to be strong sometimes. Plus, the ego tries to focus your attention on fear of loss (appearance of little to no blog traffic and little to no blogging profits) the moment you decide to think like a pro, now, even though you appear to blog as an amateur.
Revisit your freedom vision again and again.
Dwell on how it’d feel to be free to habitually think like a pro blogger.
Proceed to follow internal guidance for laying the foundation for a full time blogging career.
Train Mentally
Succeeding online involves training mentally to groom yourself for success.
Be patient with yourself. Mind training is no small feat because the monkey mind – courtesy of the ego – tries to jump here and there, to and fro.
Meditate daily. Spend time in quiet. Observe fear in your mind sprinting ahead in anxiety or retreating in grief and guilt, focusing on the past. Feel these emotions then forgive ’em to move forward. Step into a professional blogger frame of mind now to accelerate your online success from the inside-out.
