Anthony you legend!!

i do this to myself all the time. flipping between nice guy and full jerk mode. which kinda concerns me because a while back my grandmother lost her shit and drove the wrong way on the highway, convinced that she was being chased by the mafia only to find out that she was semi-schizo. they say it’s genetic. uh-oh.

awwwsome to see glen mentioned too. awwwsome mate – we jammed every night for a year when he was here last and he just landed this week for another year of adventures.

keep it unreals mate

You have it right man. Being tough on yourself and getting a bit uncomfortable to realise what you are doing and where you are going is a good thing. Not every one is going to like what you have to say and if you don’t stand for something you literally will fall for anything.

Great article!

Yes, I think the most important piece of advice is to be yourself. You don’t need to follow someone else’s path. Examples: You don’t have to by like Gary Vaynerchuk to achieve success on your own terms. Or even with your example, you don’t have to be like Glen to be successful. I think being as genuine as you possibly can be is the best strategy.

I also like your advice on taking it slow. Success (whatever the hell that means) doesn’t need to come overnight. Appreciate the learning. Appreciate the process.

The post idea of examining what you are doing critically is not just for business oriented bloggers.

Many bloggers start out just to write personal blogs and eventually decide to change course and monetize the blog.

Being critical of your writing from the beginning and trying to improve that 1% each day that you speak of can lead anyone to a more successful blog experience..

And taking a stand occasionally is part of growing as a writer.

Nice post. Made me think. Thanks..

Your blog indeed has the element of uniqueness. As I read through I can see your character in it. By your unique approach you have exemplified one important factor of a good blogger. I’ll take your advice in addition to my own.

Well, well, well. Being a jerk can certainly bait some good links. It can be overdone though. But then being a jerk can get the word out about you and your business and you polarize people into either loving you or hating you. Either way, you get attention. and in this blogging business, attention is our biggest currency!
