All of us have been burned once or twice!

Now I’d be one of the first to admit that it’s not always the brightest thing to do to just ‘jump right in’ and get your whole body wet in one full swoop. But for me, the time has come for the rubber to meet the road. I’m jumping in whether there’s water in there or not – so if you don’t here from me for a couple of days – be sure to look in that empty swimming pool back there.

Where are we going. What are the plans. We know that we’ve come out of the flames, but what do we do to keep from falling back down. In all honesty, there is no excuse for me. I am surrounded by some pretty serious powerhouses. It pretty much started last year during the Thirty Day Challenge with Ed Dale, Caroline Middlebrook, and Micronet.

But that was last year – and this is now. I’ve seen the light shining within SMARTS and Stompernet. I messed up and looked right at it – I should not have survived! I’ve seen people rise up from the ashes – and I’ve seen some come crashing down! But what about me? What am I going to do? I’ve got Ed and Dan, Don and Andy, Micronet and Caroline. I’ve got Susanne and Sherman. I’ve got the direct pipeline to some of the most positive people who are actually DOING – and I’m just sitting here TALKING. NO MORE!

From this moment on I am going to implement one thing from each of the aforementioned. I guess you could say that I’m going to Frankenstein it! The best part of each of them that I can do – as well as implement – at my own level.

I have to say before I go – I HATE TO WRITE!! But I’ve got to get on this…. Hmmm, if this actually works…

I guess I can say that I’ve officially made it to day 2. That might not mean anything to anyone else, but when you hate writing as much as I do, then day 2 of a blog can be quite an accomplishment. I mean, the thought of writing causes me to absolutely dread the event and try to avoid the assignment at any cost.

But recently I’ve come to an obvious conclusion. I’ve realized that one of the most important elements of internet marketing is the blog and it’s valuable position in the content stream. For this reason, if I hope to have any type of success whatsoever, then blog it will be  – and this will be in addition to writing top quality content every day. The very thought fills me with horror!  in fact, as I falling asleep each night I am trying to make up the next day’s excuse to avoid the dreaded blog. But if I am going to completely come up out of this situation that I find myself in, than yup! The blog it will be! Man, the thought is killing me. But I’ve put my mind to it – and therefore, I’m going to do it.

Let’s just hope that the saying “practice makes perfect” has at least a thread of truth in it, shall we?

Oh well, now let’s see if I’m still breathing… Yep! I’ve survived blog post number two. Hmmm, I wonder if I’ll make it to number three…

I believe that a strong start leads up to a strong finish – so let’s start off on the right foot, shall we?

The only true pet peeve I have is that I cannot stand whining. So let’s not have any – deal? I’ll do what I can not use this as some type of sounding board if you do your best not to use it as some type of cyber-kleenex. Whining just seems to bum everyone out – so let’s not have any part of it. I’m not going to say anything else, because if I do it’s going to sound real close to whining. I’m sure that there are some out there who are already mad at me. That’s okay – better sooner than later I always say!
