When I first set a goal of getting my website up and running on June 14th, little did I account for all the glitches, tweaks, and editing that would occur. It is amazing how much "stuff" really goes into this process.
I never imagined that designing and building a website would be that difficult or time consuming.Did that last sentence hit you like it hit me (just as I wrote it)?
This is a common thread I have found when I first started brainstorming about my business. My actual beginning process immediately reduced my chances for success.
Unfortunately I did not know that until 6 - 12 months later.
What was I doing?
Well - I was doing a lot more things that weren't working than things that were working. I continued to focus on projects that were getting nowhere, rather than working on or taking steps on projects that would get me somewhere.
You want specifics?
I can't even begin to tell you how many hours and days I wasted staring at a blank page in my "Notepad" and in Microsoft Frontpage.
I actually believed that I could create a website from scratch - and all this without knowing what I wanted to create.
Even worse, I never reached out for help beyond the extent of a book - a book that couldn't talk to me or give me advice or even show me the ropes.
The real difference came when I took a chance, spoke with a web designer, and started moving forward.
From then on, life has been all about working smarter rather than harder. And it is working out in ways that I dreamed of - but wasn't certain would ever happen.
And, I almost forgot - keep your eyes posted over the next week (5 - 7 days) for the "live" announcement of my site.
