Working on my flaws

Conflicts

So doing a 'proper job' as my family call it. Working in the evenings on my online copywriting business which is starting up and now using my copywriting training to set up my affiliate business - wow - It takes up so much time.

Sometimes I think I just don't have enough hours and I must admit I feel lazy when I force myself to take a break. However, I'll get over that.

Recognising your Flaws

Just one thing I have realised in the last few weeks. I am over analysing stuff. I am an engineer after all. On top of that, I'm a lab guy. My background is the analytical sciences and to be good at that one has to be very comprehensive, very thorough in the research and to make sure everything is right!

I must say I find this hard to be less strict. When I write freely about my thoughts on a topic, it flows very well, almost effortlessly. However, if I am researching a topic, I tend to spend hours with my investigating. So my goal is to be more general with my researching. Although, with my background, this is going to be a tough goal for me:-)

My second problem is I am easily distracted, probably because I have my finger in too many pies. But, I think turning off your phone and shutting email while you write is an excellent thing. It works for me. Well, most of the time.

Fight for Your Time

One thing I noticed from my training in copywriting and now this venture is that people won't get it. I think you need to prepare yourself that some people will not give you time. You may need to fight your corner to get TIME to focus. You may even become an outcast for a while. Don't worry if you stick with it it will work out. Not everyone understands that you are trying to better yourself and this is an excellent way to try.

We are all different. Our families and friends are different. Some will support you most may not.

Don’t concern yourself with these. Head down. Use your time and enjoy the experience.

Learning Time and Money Time

Remember you have to learn to be good at anything. We all went to school. Because of that we can all read and write. Some went on to study a bit further than others. However, when it comes down to putting words on a blank page, we are all equal. Don't give up learning. Don't give away your time.

Try to write every day or as often as possible.

I am just starting out and finding that the affiliate business needs a lot more work than I imagined. That is good. That means we need to work harder at it. It also says if you stick with it you will be more successful than the many who will drop out. Don’t be a quitter.

Interested in what is the main obstacle you guys have?

Happy writing.
