Not Quite November

It has been an interesting few months. I've created two websites and continue to work on ways to develop them. I've made it thru the social media classes and have found myself stepping back to rethink, review and plan.

I've always tried to be sure to recognize and acknowledge my limitations. I've also had to keep an eye on my tendency to take on more than I can chew. For those of you who are new to this Wealthy Affiliate adventure, I strongly urge you to do the same. Yes the world is your oyster, but if you exhaust yourself, overburden yourself or get bogged down in the mud just trying to move forward you will ultimately create a lot of frustration and potential failure. We can't all be #1, but we can be the best we can be just by paying attention.

Over the past few months I have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material in my In Box and came to the conclusion that I was not helping anyone by focusing on things that did not help me to grow. That meant that a lot of the mail went into File 13 (aka: the trash bin). Reality for me as part of WA is no different than working 9 - 5; If I am not productive I am not producing and can't justify the expense or the time. No different than getting onto Facebook and spending a bit too much time scoping what everyone else is doing rather than making my posts and getting out and back to other tasks.

Which leads me to another conclusion I've come to. I don't want, and do not need, to spend time on platforms that do not interest me. Translation: No Twitter, No Instagram.

On another note

I am interested in talking with and potentially working with food bloggers or craft bloggers. From what I've seen, they appear to be few and far between. I would like to see if we could band together to learn and grow together. If you are not part of these niches, but know someone who is, please let them know and ask them to contact me.
