I don’t care how fool proof you think your strategy is.
If you do not trust it you will fail and quit.
I know because I have both trusted strategies to experience success and bailed on strategies to experience failure. Having both experiences inspired me to write this post for you. I know how difficult things became by bailing on sound strategies for my own fears. I also know how good it feels to experience sweet success by trusting the blogging process.
What about you?
Do you trust your blogging strategy?
Take Off the Blinders
Most talk a good game when it comes to trusting their blogging plan.
Few follow through powerfully on that trust.
Consider how many bloggers panic during their first few weeks. Some complain about driving no traffic or income after 2 to 3 days of blogging. Each fear reveals someone who does not trust their blogging strategy. If you panic after 3 days you have zero trust in your plan.
If you panic after 3 months you still do not trust in your blogging plan. Bloggers who’ve been in the game for 3 months are still babies because this gig requires years of effort in order to build an asset which works for you.
Pinpoint this lack of trust 3 months into your strategy or else you will cut the legs out from under your blogging foundation again and again. Doubt destroys everything. Severe skeptics change their strategies with the wind then wonder why they never drive quality traffic or income.
Blogging is a marathon not a quick sprint. Trust yourself. Trust your blogging approach. Give yourself 6 to 12 months to build a strong foundation for your blog. Full-time results rarely if ever arrive within a year but at least building rock solid foundation seems logical during this time frame.
Good things take time and generous service. Remember both elements before bailing on your blogging strategy.
Take off the blinders folks. Observe your impatience; losung patience is a lack of trust. Look closely at your desire to get rich quickly. Taking shortcuts reveals a lack of trust. If you trust the blogging process you exude patience. Trusting your strategy influences you to build exponential income but over a very long period of time.
Look at your mind in the light of truth. Observe your mental blocks honestly. Concentrate on the number of times you lost trust in your blogging strategy. No one likes to do this. But do it you must to root out self-doubt. Getting rid of doubt opens the way for trusting your blogging tactics.
Obsessing over statistics within a super short time frame reveals a severe lack of trust in your approach. Do not ignore this mental error because you cannot assess doubt by ignoring its appearance. Few individuals enjoy observing their doubts because the process feels uncomfortable. Who loves feeling fear?
But this is the way to develop a calm sense of confidence in your blogging approach.
I look closely at my results from time to time to see how I feel. What emotions arise in my mind? Do I feel as if I wasted my time? Do I feel even a little bit hopeless? Fearful emotions signal a loss of trust in my blogging strategy. Feeling and looking past these states of mind creates a deeper sense of confidence both in myself and in my blog.
Getting rid of fear reveals faith.
Trashing doubt reveals trust.
Why do I advise bloggers to get comfortable with being uncomfortable?
Walking this path feels highly uncomfortable in acute moments.
1 Tactic for Developing Trust
Follow only advice from experienced bloggers.
Do what works for them to gain a deeper sense of faith in the process.
Professional bloggers prove that these strategies work quite nicely. Follow their lead to walk a similar path along the road to success. Do only what they do to experience your level of success.
At the end of the day, doing what works increases your confidence. I instantly felt more confident by deciding to publish only long form content to my blog because professionals experienced immense success with an identical approach.
You never need to wing it. Experimenting from scratch makes no sense. Forcing things your way is insane. Blogging is sometimes uncomfortable to begin with. Why would you make it more difficult on yourself by doing things your way and winging it?
Taking a stab at blogging by winging it amplifies your self doubts.
Develop confidence in your blog. Do what worked for many successful bloggers to let it work for you. Trust in their success. Full-time bloggers did not become professionals by lying to their readers. Trust their guidance. Follow their lead to feel good about your approach.
Embrace Self Doubt
Unless you are a mental master you better believe that doubt rears its ugly head from time to time. But trusting deeply in the process makes each of these moments fleeting.
Nobody is entirely fearless unless one is an ascended master.
However, hugging those shaky moments when you appear to temporarily lose trust allows you to move through the valleys swiftly.
You’re not perfect. Nor is your mind perfected. Be with moments of doubt to create a predominant feeling of trust concerning yourself and your blog.
Get Rid of Doubters
During tender doubtful periods or even stretches of great blogging confidence…..kick skeptics to the blogging curb.
Recently I found myself gently debating a skeptic about the future of blogging.
In a moment of clarity I blocked his user profiles because external doubt can worm its way into the mind if you engage it.
I do not suggest developing blind faith or a mindless cheerleader mentality based on wildly charging forward with your blogging strategy without assessing results from time to time.
Stop and look at how you’re feeling and how you’re doing with your blog. Do you move in the right direction?
Adjust accordingly.
But kick doubters out of your energy field quickly. Nobody remains healthy by ingesting poison. Nobody develops a sense of trust in an environment of skepticism. No blogger develops an immense sense of confidence by surrounding themselves with shattered minds too long injured to even know of their horrific inner malady.
Let the doubters do their thing. Let the haters project their rage. Allows skeptics to question endlessly. Carry on with trusting yourself. Proceed to trust in your proven blogging process.
Succeed in confidence.
Be a bright light for bloggers who feast on your confidence.
Trust in your blogging strategy.
