Monologue of doubt.It happens
I'm really starting to hate how difficult niche I gotten myself into. lol The constant fact checking and minor edits I have to do over and over again. I'm having hard time staying on schedule.
Today, I experienced burn out and actually had the dreaded monologue of doubt.
"Am I doing too much? Maybe I shouldn't got into this blogging stuff.? I can't freak in be ahead of myself and have 10 posts ready to be auto publish. Maybe I should shut everything down. and come back with a big update which auto publish gradually through scheduling."
"I wish I knew if I'm not been too academic and making this information easy to access for everyone. I'm sure I should make the writing content longer. I hate writing long drawn out information. 500-1200 range should be enough. Is it really necessary to make long posts for the sake of SEO?"
"I hate the fact I'm trying to do pre-med course, be an artist and monetize my hobby(which is been on stale for the longest), reading books and online sources to further my knowledge on my niche, keep up my daily physical training regime and to top it all, be an entrepreneur and make money off of blogging."
In the end, I just stop. I no longer cared about consequences. I decided to step away from it all and enjoy the present instead worrying so much about "what-if scenarios" and my personal self critiquing patterns.
I just hope as I stick to it. I either become more efficient at this affiliate marketing, or It becomes easier to the point it's on auto-pilot.
I'll do what is necessary and endure more of the mundane phases of building your business since the primary goal to all of this is financial independence.

We all go though the "Monologue of Doubt". We all probably go through it several times throughout the process of building our authority sites. I know I have and still do from time to time.
What has kept be going here is that in my heart I know this is the right thing and I am in the right place. That is something I have never felt before. So it drives me to continue, even when my doubt say I need to throw in the towel and move on.
You do come fore efficient but you need to stick with it. One person wrote blog and in it they said "what it you quit the day before you start making money, how would you know how close you came". That is something that is always in the back of my mind now.
Just keep at it and you will be well on your way. Just remember, it take time to be a success. It does not happen over night.
Best Wishes
I enjoyed reading this. To add, I dunno why but I actually feel a lot better for making a blog about the experience. A therapeutic stress relief. XD
I'm recovered and still plan to stick through thick and thin. Just have to have clarity, consistency, and discipline.
You CAN do it!
