I have trouble w “good is good enough.” I also sometimes have trouble focusing on my work when I should, and get sucked into social media too easily. I need to set guidelines for my work schedule and stick to them. I need to manage my time better. I used to have excellent time management skills and self discipline in blogging. I posted daily. I’m going to return to my skills and post regularly, so I can be successful. Thanks for a great post!

I’m exactly in this kind of situation right now where I feel like i’m sitting on the fence and just wondering what the other world is. But I have made up my mind, I’ll be sealing my resignation letter and as you said… hit the wall and make things happen. Actually as I was planning what i’ll be doing before i give up my call center job… I wrote an article… if you’re interested you can visit and give me a feedback on what think about it:

And yes, I use twitter.

I enjoyed the 2nd point about how good is good enough. It’s true – don’t become too obsessed with perfection. Keep things short and concise and move on to the next post.

This is pure gold. I really like “good is good enough.” There’s no telling how much time I have wasted shooting for perfection.

Also, the advice about limiting social media is timely for me. Sounds like “quit wasting your time on non-productive things.”

Thanks again for laying it all out.

Seeing as your posting volume has dropped a bit at the moment – I guess the Blog Masters Club is keeping you pretty busy – I figured I’d look back at some posts that looked interesting. This is a good one. I’m a million miles off being able to quit the day job – very much just started out – but that is my eventual goal! The take-home point from the above for me is the fact that when you have little time it is more efficient to do things in blogs – when you’re in the mood for writing, write, do all your social media stuff together etc etc. It’s very inefficient switching tasks all the time.

If it was so simple to just quit your dayjob….

Even when the current job is boring and frustrating, I won’t quit it because I have a “virtual opportunity” online. First things first, start blogging and see some results, and then see if its worth it.

Otherwise, you could end up with no job and no other income source, but with a fresh started blog, which could (or will someday) bring up some good commissions. But until then, the full time job is just perfect, because it brings some money which you could invest in SEO or blog exposure.

Great article. I can’t wait just to be a full time blogger. But I know it takes hard work and dedication.
