Blogging self-discipline is not easy. That is why it is important to cultivate a network of successful bloggers to hang with – either in person or virtually.
Not sure about this?
Who do you think gold medal Olympians surround themselves with?
Of course, other champions.
Put another way, successful bloggers surround themselves with other successful bloggers.
If you want to achieve your blogging goals, then you need to be with achievers who have made the journey you are on.
You can do this by finding two-or-three others who have similar ambitions. They can be in the same niche or a totally different blogsphere. What is important is that they be blogging.
With your small group, share your goals. Hold one another accountable.
What you will discover is success breeds success. Each of you will grow.
As an aside, a challenge many bloggers face is isolation. The majority of us work on our own.
True, we may have virtual assistants. We may have graphic designers. We may even have content creators or researchers. But even if we contract with someone to fill each of these positions, they will be elsewhere. In general, bloggers work in a home office, not a public workspace.
That is another reason why your accountability group will be meaningful. And, it is also why you need to schedule your time to attend other blogging related functions.
