I had an excellent week and I'd like to complete it with a short success update post.

It's been 10 weeks so far. I'm maintaining work-life balance with working 20-30 hours per week as planned. Very important to me.

My second website (CPCPWorkshops) has completely overtaken my first website (AmazingToilets), where I got stuck with 7 posts. Now I have 12 on the new one, having added 4 posts this week, two of them over 3000 words.

I've just watched Kyle's first video training, and I found it really inspiring to help me push forward into the unknown.

I feel I'm on the right track. As he says, one needs to do it without looking back, i.e. not trying, but with the attitude to make it work no matter what. Or like in a good YouTube interview of Arnold Schwarzenneger, where he recommends: there is no plan B! (Here as a short version)

I can also see how everything I do has to be done with the perspective of helping people. That's starting to work for me and with producing content more naturally.

I've added links to books on this second website, so at least there's a start towards monetizing.

I can also see a teeny bit of organic search traffic on both websites.

I'm also putting my other websites on hold, focusing on just one, as was recommended by several, notably Nathaniell: running one website is a full time job.

I also keep in mind that I have a lot to learn, and I might not have found my niche yet, and that I could be quite far from any income replacement goal. But I'm OK with all that.

Technically, I will have to make a decision by end of September (in 4 months) whether to continue with an online business or not. Until then, I'll kind of both just relax and keep giving it my best shot!

Good luck to everyone, including to those who don't believe in luck! (I think it takes both some intelligent hard work and a bit of luck, to make it work...)
