The NHS has been facing ever-increasing pressures in recent years, with slashed budgets, staff shortages and lack of resources taking its toll on the quality of care. One of the many ways we commonly see the impact of these pressures is in waiting times for GP…
The day you’ve dreamed of for years has finally arrived! Your little girl is all grown up and has chosen a partner to start her life with, and you are officially a MoB -- Mother of the Bride! While congratulatory remarks are appropriate at this juncture, so are a few…
This one is as simple as crowdfunding your honeymoon. It might sound strange at first, but do you really need another blender or set of dinner plates? Instead of having your guests purchase a bunch of things you’ll end up trying to return anyway, why not let them chip in for…
I am a great believer in this notion: If you are incessantly preoccupied with your stats you will fall further and further behind.
My husband, who was a middle distance runner in college, told me his coach once said, “When in a race, if you look back you’ll take one second off your time.” In other words, he was telling them to not look back, don’t worry about their competitors, focus on their race, and keep running. I believe this holds true in how successful you are as a blogger. If you are completely engrossed with numbers from RSS feed subscribers to your followers on Twitter, it takes away from the time and energy you need to spend perfecting your blog, resonating with your readership and bonding with your personal community. Essentially you’re robbing yourself of authoring the best blog you can. Keep running.
My philosophy is simple: Forget the numbers and blog already! If you are overly absorbed in your numbers, you’ve already lost. It’s only when you let your passion shine through on your blog that you will truly become successful. Are you blogging because you love it and enjoy writing about that which you’re passionate? Or, do you experience an insatiable high when your stats rise and tumble into a dark pit of despair when your numbers plummet?
Remember, keep a keen eye on your priorities. If you don’t blog well because you’re fixated on your numbers, your stats will flatline or drop. Blog well and your stats will consistently rise. It’s the universal law of cause and effect. And we know how hard it is to circumvent universal laws!
Stick to the fundamentals. They will serve you well as you continue on your blogging journey.
