Twitter

Now I've really done it. I started a twitter account. If you're interested it's @startoffthebase and I've added a "Tweet This" button in the sidebar. Really not sure what to do with it just yet, but I'm thinking quick little updates and pics will be just right. Thinking about starting a Facebook page as well, will keep you updated.

I read something recently that said "Discipline = Progress" I really like that, obviously I don't have near the discipline I thought I would when it comes to updating this blog. It's far too easy to let something distract me, at least I can easily justify it. Part of my worry about starting a Facebook page is that I'll use it as an excuse to not get anything productive done. And let's face it, I come up with far too many of those already.

Understanding why I do it hasn't really helped me do anything about it. I know that fear is a driving factor in all of this, but I'm not sure if it's the fear of failure or the fear of the unknown. I'm used to working the daily grind but at least then I knew when payday was. This however has a lot less "security" if you will, to it.

My biggest fear is that I'll prove myself right and not be able to attain what I'm hoping for. Or maybe that I'll prove myself right and succeed. What a convoluted mess I have going on upstairs right now. The main thing is to keep on doing the next thing in my to-do list and plan ahead. One day I will crack this code to making good money online. One day this will pay for a house and a new vehicle. Never owned a brand new one, and I think it's time I do whatever it takes to earn one.


Keep on keeping on.

Snow!

Finally snowed here today! I spent far too much time playing outside today. But if I can't enjoy myself once in a while, what's the reason I'm trying to create a mostly passive income online?

No real progress made on that front as I've got some projects up in the air and am waiting for more traffic. Which on a budget, is way harder than all those emails I've gotten seem to make it. According to them, the secret to huge amounts of traffic is paying them a bunch of money and it'll happen overnight. Call me a cynic but I imagine there's more to it than that. If I'm wrong shoot me an email or let me know in the comments.

Meanwhile I'll keep trucking along doing what I'm doing and focus on what I've got in the air.
