Weeks 9 and 10: Working as Hard as I Can

The last couple of months have been extremely stressful. I have had several projects to finish in my regular job, which has eaten up most of my time. My wife is pregnant with our second child. It is a rough pregnancy, there are numerous doctor visits, and our one-year-old doesn't stop moving until she finally falls asleep at night (which happens to be around 11 PM). I wake up early, go to bed late, and put in a ton of hours between work and doing everything I can to allow my wife to rest as much as possible.

I was not able to sit and write any blog posts this week. I was, however, able to watch some training on SEO strategy that I have found beneficial so far. I'm working on implementing those in the posts that are already published. This week should be a slower week, which will afford me the time to get some drafts going. My aim is to get two published by the end of the week. I also intend to finish the SEO training videos if I can. The next writing milestone is 25 posts, which I am aiming for by the end of June.

I am grateful that I do not rely on income from this business yet. The goal was never to replace my income so I could stay home and do this full-time. The goal is to replace my wife's income and let her stay home and raise our children. One day I believe I will get there. One step at a time, with one foot in front of the other.

Never stop. Never give up. Keep finding a way to succeed.
