Do You Really Want to Feel Discouraged?

I am often told how great my blog looks, how there are is a ton of value for the readers, and that I'm bound to go far within internet marketing. I get consistent page views everyday and have loyal readers that click through and read every post I put out.

I'd consider myself successful. But I still get discouraged.

It's typically once or twice a month that I find myself in a funk. Doubting everything I've done. Feeling it's all a waste of time because I'm not able to quit my day job and have the blog support me. It's my goal and during these times of discouragement it seems unreachable.

Every other day I consider myself a successful blogger for all the reasons I mentioned above. I know many people would die to have a site the looks like mine, an email list the size of mine, and loyal readers that read every post.

I don't know what causes these funks and once I do I'll avoid that thing like the plague. But I'm sure there is not just one thing and it's probably conditioned to each stage of blogging.

What I want you to get out of this is that every blogger, new and old, faces discouragement. I've been blogging for about 10 years now but never wanted to make it a source of income, until now. Even with all my experience I still get discouraged and wonder if my time was worth it.

Keep you head up and please share any tips and tricks you've found to help keep your discouragement as low as possible.
