Easier Said Than Done

I've been away from WA for two or three weeks trying to accomplish one of my main goals for 2013. The goal is to focus on the most promising projects, and to dump the rest.
Easier said than done!
What happens to me, and I suspect it happens to many other people as well, is that if you have a project you really like, and you have worked at it for weeks and months, you have so much time, effort and money invested in these projects that you can't bring yourself to pushing the "Delete" button. You have so much of yourself tied up in that project.
My project is a blog in the "weight loss niche" which is an excellent niche. After all, when I make a Google search for my main keyword, as I did just now to get current numbers, there were 7,000,000 other results. So my main problem here (and my big mistake) is that this is an incredibly competitive niche. But the most competitive niches are also the most profitable.
My biggest challenge is that I am not ready to abandon this project. It not only has tremendous profit potential, but I just love the niche, and I feel that I have personal knowledge and experience in this area, that I can use to help other people.
I am sorry for rambling on. My main reason for this blog post was to apologize to the many people that have chosen to follow me, and I did not thank them for following me. It was not out of disrespect, or indifference; it was just that I was caught up in another part of the web, with other projects.
To each one of you, to whom I have have not written personally, I offer a warm welcome to WA, and my sincere wishes for your early success.
And please don't give up on me. I am plugging away 7 days a week. I'll just have to assign a specific amount of time every day to keep in touch at WA.
All the best,
Juan
