I’ve been noticing something very interesting lately that has somewhat began to haunt me during the day, while I work, during the night and at all waking moments of my days.

It’s the fact that people that I’ve been helping set up their blogs and getting them started are finding some great success with their blogs while I’m just all over the place with mine, running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

I’ve offloaded everything I’ve learned about blogging, I’ve even helped tweak some of the blogs to be optimized properly, sat down and given advice, you name it I’ve done it for my friends. Then these friends have taken it an ran with it and I’m very happy for them.

“What separates them for me?” is the haunting question.

What makes them so special?

What are they doing that I’m not?

I’ve scratched my head and have done some soul searching and have realized a very important thing…

They all have a very singular focus.

Unlike me who has a bunch of irons on the fire, they just focus on that one iron, that one blog and that one vision. Go figure!

So it’s not that I don’t know what I’m doing, and it’s not that the methods don’t work, it’s the fact that I’m focused on too many things at once, when I haven’t gotten one project fully off the ground yet.

It’s time to figure it all out again and press go, because it’s getting ridiculous.

Soon my students will be sailing yachts and I’ll be bragging how I taught them what they knew about blogging, while at the bar in some random town down on my luck yapping to a drunk bystander. LOL!

Maybe you’ve been through the same dilemma, any advice?
