You have to make certain tasks a priority. I try to give myself some time to reply to emails and comments. I used to get caught up in it and was left with no time to work on my site. Now that I prioritize, I can do both.

I am responding to everybody that read my first blog. Thank you for the positive feedback. This community is the best.

I understand, especially when you have fifty emails to answer every day before you do anything else.
Catch up soon and good luck

Hey, Loren. I can relate. I work my businesses on top of my ft job and a busy household. It often feels like I need more time to cover all the details. We can't do everything, but hopefully make positive impact with what we do. Just do what you can and it will all work out. Very best wishes to you. I hope your business turns out better than you hope! Cathy

Getting that fist blog out of the way is always cool, congratulations!
I have learned so much just from following others here, it is truly amazing the amount of knowledge here at WA.

I too have the thoughts of reading all that everyone writes, but it can be too time consuming. I try to limit and work on my site first. Best wishes as you continue on this journey. It's hard not to read everything because as you say you learn so much. :)

I was wondering who that was lurking back there.

Yes Loren, that is the right thing to do. It can be difficult trying to keep a balance. But I have learned a lot from the people I follow, but you don't always have to respond either. Sometimes it is sufficient to just "Like" without comment. It shows you agree and also gives feedback and encouragement.

Good luck Loren and well done on your first blog post. :)

It can get time-consuming, Loren. But you're right about never knowing which gold nugget is coming your way. I have a lot of followers, too, and I try to read everything just for that reason. Good Luck!
