More people fail than succeed online. This is a fact. All the ones that succeed online have a clear picture in their minds of what they want from the internet.



The Inner State Is Not Easy

The Inner State of Blogging needs more than one Blog post to cover it. We can make a good introduction here. Why does it need more than one post? The reason is because the Inner State is tied to our habits, attitudes, and beliefs about our own abilities. Many of us know so little about this inner world so it presents us with a vast gap in our understanding. This is what I call the Inner State of blogging.



Difference Between Techniques and Inner State

Web 2.0, driving traffic, Wordpress, SEO, blogging great content are all TECHNIQUES used on the internet. The Inner State is different. It is what happens between your ears, in your mind. It is the key to Blog success or failure.



Misunderstanding Leads to Failure

It is a fact most bloggers do not enjoy the success they want. They just look at the techniques, that is all. They misunderstand that most of the work is on the inner level. They are unaware of it. No wonder they lose.




What Do You Want From Blogging?

Work out what you want from the internet. What do you want your Blog to do?

1. Do you want to sell affiliate products online?

2. Share your creativity with the world?

3. Earn a living from blogging?

4. Travel the world with your Blog?

5. Become famous?

6. Help a charity with your Blog skills?

7. Run a car, diet, or a blogging tips type of Blog?



What You Want Should Be As Clear As A Sunny Day

The first thing before you do anything is to be very clear in your mind about what you want to achieve online. This is like the CEO saving a company, working it out in his office, before he makes a move. It is the engineer drawing up a bridge on his design board, making sure it is going to work, before a single piece of steel is laid. It is like the pregnant mother buying clothes before baby is born in order to be prepared.

Sun Tzu said a battle is won before a battle takes place. The Inner State of blogging works the same. The best thing is to win it before you Blog. The starting point is to know what you want to do with your Blog and what you want from it. Take the time to do this. Write it down in a concise manner. Use one or two sentences.Then you will be on your way.

KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT = DIRECTION

DIRECTION = CONCENTRATED EFFORT

CONCENTRATED EFFORT = ACHIEVEMENT ONLINE

ACHIEVEMENT ONLINE = GETTING WHAT YOU WANT


Keep Blogging !
