Lot's of extra time in My New Career and management of that time is crucial.but I find it hard to give that eight straight hours like a job. In matter of fact I don't even call what I am doing a job but more like what I would call work. So is a job really work or is a job really just above broke. But the change up I am doing is work but well below broke as there is no pay check here.
I can understand the fear to do what I am doing and that most would call it crazy, if not mad.or even insane. But when it comes to a change like this where no pay check is coming in every week or every other week, it seems to be insane. The only reason I am even able to do what I am doing is because of the things I did in my past. It is all good and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to be able to change my career this way.
If it was not for the internet I wonder what I would be doing right now after watching my business of fifteen years go down the drain with the collapse of our economy. I did try to weather it out. My overhead was low enough to hold onto it but when it isn't paying the bill anymore and the market has declined for the product it is time to move on.
I like to write and do not have a problem putting myself out there, I can talk to a crowd and entertain an audience. I know because I have done it. I have trained people because I have done it. I can teach and share wisdom and thought because I have done it. But that is the past and I can only bring it forward and understand it.
I wish i could say that my training is over but it isn't. I have always been a student and keep my options open to learning something that will take me where it is I want to go. At least i think it is. Sometimes it is a distraction and does waste my time, but I always hope to pick up the l; little things more than the big things.
I can say too that nothing has come easy. it has taken much practice and the more I practice the better I get at writing. I can remember when writing a 400 word article was difficult and would take me the majority of the day. Now when I start writing I find myself seeing 2400 word articles. Which is too many words. Great for a book but not for an article. So I will break it up and make a couple articles out of it and possibly do a few re-writes to publish in article directories.
The other thing that I have found out is that activity produces new readers and subscribers. I understand SEO and how in the long run of it's importance. But in the beginning it is best to set up your SEO but the next biggest thing you can do to syndicate your site is through article's.and other sites. Socializing is also good but I find it to be a little more grueling, but I share anyways while most are just posting their stuff and not really interested in my stuff. It is just the way it is as the social seen is not my target market but my viral market.
As My New Career builds and develops I will continue to post here and at my other blogs where they are a little more themed and I am sure I will create other blogs as I learn, develop, change and adapt to the never ending changes in our world.
