Do just one thing a day
I've been here at WA for almost a month already and continue to love being a part of this business model and a part of this community. One of the things I really like about the community is when people post on their blogs. I enjoy the help and advice that some people post and then there are times when people are just updating what's going on in their lives and businesses. I really appreciate when people give us a glimpse into what's going well and what's not going so well.
One of the themes in people's writing that I've noticed is when they say they haven't been able to do work on their site or business for awhile. They have been away for some reason but now they're back at it and ready to hit it hard. I just want to encourage you with something I learned awhile back that has served me well in online businesses or my regular job or even in my relationships with my wife and kids.
Do just one thing every day and you'll be amazed what you've done by the end of the year. Just one thing. In regards to your site, maybe it's just writing one paragraph of a blog post, or adding one picture to an existing page, or editing an older page to be more current. But just one thing, no matter how small will give you fantastic results by the end of the year.
There are days when I'm able to spend six hours working on my two sites and then there are days I have 15 minutes to work on just one site. I've had days when all I can do is edit half of a post, but it's still something and I feel so great the next day when I get back on my site.
I know there are times we're busy. I have a full time job and a wife and four boys so I get slammed like you do. I just want to be an encouragment to you and cheer you on from the sideline and yell, "You can do it! Just give it 10 minutes today and then tomorrow and the next day. You won't believe where you'll be a month from now!"
So let's go for it folks! I love all the help you've given me and I just want to encourage you to keep up the great work!!
Have a fantastic day!
Greg

I agree with you totally. I actually wrote something similar to this once. Just find the one thing you can accomplish today!
This is wonderful encouragement and well said. I try to do this and feel better when I've accomplished a little something. Thank you much. :)
Great advice and so true. I've always tried to follow this idea. Certainly wish I had more time but I don't, so I just try to make progress each day and not pay attention to others who seem to be able to rush past my progress.
Nice thoughts. If you give this business your full time attention, as I do, and do it alone, it seems like you're always moving one step forward and two back.
Thanks for the post, because sometimes I feel so guilty when I do not accomplish as much as I would like to on my site in a day. There are only 24hrs in a day and I try to squeeze out more.
