Did I Fail As A Blogger And Programmer?

Good day coders, it been ages I last wrote on my blog and the Facebook group due to too much engagement. A wise man once said “your dreams will keep chasing you” and this have been chasing me like family curse.  

I felt I have to make sure am actually failing before I quit writing on my blog. For long my blog have given me a sense of worth, I haven’t gotten a lot traffic but I have had tremendous comment about my articles and post which have helped me write more not until I became less and less passionate about blogging and that has ruin it all for me.

I took a lot into consideration and am going to share some with you on this post;

I WAS CERTAIN NEVER TO LET OTHERS DECIDE WHAT FAILURE IS TO ME:

I have seen others make a lot of money and traffic from their blog and I have envied their progress in as much as they are not in the same niche with me and that has really affected the flow. I have looked at blogging through their eyes and I have weighted my success with their measuring scales.

MONEY HAS BEEN A FACTOR:

The fact that am not beginning to make money from my write-ups has actually killed my enthusiasm for the art of writing. I have decided that nothing will ever stop my flow anymore I will write for the love of the art and I will write till my hand stop moving and my pen stop bleeding.

 I KNOW I AM IN A RUSH TO SUCCEED:

Time plays a factor in most of our definitions of failure, especially if money, income, or your professional job (and a need to show a return on the investment of blogging) is involved. I made a mistake by comparing myself with others and not with myself. I wrote a timetable in which things must happen, and quitting is viable when things don’t work. Blogging is a means to an end, and not a meandering exploration of personal growth.

I am with the luxury of allowing patience to do its work; however, I will keep blogging even if it doesn’t seem like it at the beginning I will keep my head straight.  You can win in the great innings if you never quit. – Robert Foster.

BEING A GENERALIST:

The fear of not being valuable to the society keeps creeping into my thought line and I have wanted to diversify my intellectual asset I have wanted to develop as much skills as I could and that has also had conflict to my blogging passion out of the oust to make money I delve into teaching and then I started to move forward using C-sharp to create application as if that was not enough I still had to start learning Drupal, Joomla and android development I kept chasing six rabbits at once and I end up not catching one. In as much as I should learn most skills at my field I still need to use my selective focus to make sure am down with one before I go to the next.

IN CONCLUSION I NEED TO SET A HIGHER PRIORITY TO MY BLOGGING CAREER:

According to one source, there are more than 164 million blogs…Most of these blogs get less than 1,000 visitors per month, and the harsh reality is, the majority of those blogs are, for lack of a better word, failures. And I don’t want to be on that dead path even when my niche has a chicken hole audience I will keep writing and getting out my content to folks that have better readers out there. You are not alone if you have failed to continue in any of your endeavour just put yourself back to line and start from where you stopped.

 YOU ARE NOT ALONE.........have been able to eat the frogs in my life by eating the ugly ones first.

I had a lot of project to execute and i just had to take them one after the other. Am writing a business plan for i and Pius King enterprise and i believe you all should wait and see the biggest start-up that is about to emerge from Kaduna city, i also have a proposal to submit to Dip-ace on is school academy that is about to start, am also learning how to us MVC and how to design mobile application on andriod studio and i also have a school website to design in less than one month now the pressure is even high on me because the director want me to finish up quickly.

You now see i have a lot of things going on in my head. like Brian Tracy said, the best way to eat an elephant is to start eating it little by little. Am starting with my business plan which i finished last week and i sent it to my lawyer to review it for me so now i just have my proposal to kill before next week. but in all these i will still have to be writing at least one post every week and getting it out will be my priority.

Peace Out till next week. I will be writing a post on “the most important skills every programmer need to have” kindly submit your email and click on the like button so I can tag you when am done.
