Absolutely right Eleanor, planning is the key! You’re also spot on with our old proverb about planning to fail.

There are lots of important things to learn in this piece but for me, the most poignant is the need to brainstorm and write this stuff down. I don’t remember who said it but I’ve heard it said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail” (or words to that end. I might have just slaughtered that quote )

Hi Ralph thanks for your comment. Some may say that it should be fire, fire, fire and forget the rest. Try some stuff if it works do some more if doesn’t do something different. For myself, the best investment I’ve ever made has been in myself, so fully endorse youre comment about yourself as a brand.

My approach is ready, fire, aim. For my current blog (my second) I was building myself as a brand. Who is Ralph Carlson. Hence the clever name RalphCarlsonBlog. Until I get a better idea, I’ll keep it.

Absolutely Ben everyone has a different perspective. The more opinions shared on blogs such as yours only helps enrich the uniqueness of your blog.

I was exactly the same with The Big Red Tomato Company, I think having a brand makes you more memorable too. Especially for newer blogs.

Absolutely Gordie, when you don’t know where you’re heading on your journey it’s very difficult to get there.

Goals are like milestones maps, the vision is the destination.

Cheers, Matthew

This is a great reminder that we are all unique and there is room for each of us to have our own space in the blogosphere.

Speaking from your own voice is one of the most important things you can do as everyone’s life experiences and perceptions are different.

There are people out there who are desperate to hear what you have to say. So, go find them.

Hi Ben, DragonBlogger,

Your so right, being unique is the key!

By: Ben Lumley

The key is to be unique.

There might be a hundred or even a thousand people in your niche but you are the only one who see it the way you do. You’re the only one who can explain it in the way you do.

It was no accident that I turned “Dragonblogger” into my own brand, I wanted something that stood out. Rather than just use my name like so many of the Giant Bloggers do, which isn’t bad, but if you ever wanted to leave the business you can’t really sell your name if you built your empire out of your name, you can sell a “brand”.

All good advice, make sure you set “measurable goals” ones that you can track and see results, if you set goals that you can’t track or measure, it can be discouraging.

Not having a goal but starting out is a sure way to not get there.

I think people these days are becoming more aware of the importance of goals, but we have to also put a plan in place how to achieve our goal. We have to be willing to make sacrifices too.

Cheers.
