Don't freeze.you have a powerful mind!
Hello my friends,
Today I want to share a bit of what was blocking me and prevented me to wrote mosre posts and articles.
I'm portuguese, and usually I write in portuguese also. So, you can imagine what was going on in my mind...I can't write here in my own language, and although I need a lot of comments from you on my site posts, I can't really ask you, unless you have some translation plug in. On the other hand, I have my followers on social media in my language...so how could I refer this WA platform and business? It was really blocking me!
Finaly yesterday I took a decision : I was going to do it, no matter what! I started in a mode, I call "solution mode"!
I had 29 drafts already, published 4, and started to spread them around. (Twitter, google+, Facebook and Pinterest). I simply put the phrase "For those who understand inglish, this article might be of your interest" before every article I posted.
Simple, right?
Amazing how most of the times, are such simple things like that, that prevents you to reach success !
Past a few hours, I had my first referral.
Now, is a matter of scaling, right?
I just want to share this with all of you, so you can think of what's blocking you, and to encourage you all to find within you the solutions!
Give it time, and some thought, and you all can reach whatever you want!
Just act---DON'T FREEZE!!!!

I've been struggling with motivation & struggling to write lately myself. But I find that once I sit down & force myself to get going, I'm usually ok.
So yes, I agree with you, just sit down & do it, even if it's not very good, it can be edited & improved :)
Absolutely...And I also have a trick, since sometimes happened to be not so much "inspired"...My trick is : when comes the inspiration, I'm capable of writing 4 or 5 posts at a time. That way, I always have something to publish, even if that day I'm not willing to write!!! (I have currently about 20 drafts). My problem to write here, is to write in inglish, because my post are all in portuguese.
Perhaps, the more you write in English, the better you will get, they say practise makes perfect :)
Do you use online translators to help you?
I don't even know what that is...lol. I don't have any aid to write here in inglish...at all. Just my knowledge of the language! But I think you're right! I need to loose my fear of grammar errors and start doing it! Thank you for the advice!
Try this.

It is a tool for translating, you select your language & it will translate it for you. For when you are not sure how to translate your language to English
Hi Sarita, I'm 1/2 Portuguese, but grew up in the USA. My dad's surname is FREIRE. I am in awe of you! Since you came this far I know you will be a success. I haven't gone through the whole new upgraded WordPress, but I thought you can now type in your language and it will be translated in another country's language. I hope I read it right, because that would help you. All the best!
Thank you for your comment. Actually I follow you because I thought with that surname...I was not wrong! All the best to you too!!!
Great blog, it happens to me also because I'm a native spanish speaker and sometimes it's difficult to me to write in english, and I decided to "close" a spanish website I also have... but, it's a matter of time, and you learn something new everyday... and the important thing is to make a decision and go for it !
I applaud everyone who wants to improve their life, especially those who have to work with the language challenge. I wish you the best.
It's not a problem, it's an advantage. Most people that live in the USA only know how to speak English.
