You have a dream, and you want to achieve it. This is
natural for all of us, but only a few people succeed. Do you know the reason? I
think the main reason is that those of us who truly try and are hardworking,
consistent, and disciplined become successful in the end.
But most of us fail to even survive or sustain
ourselves, simply because we cannot accept the challenge. I want to become a
blogger, a professional blogger at this age, when most people have given up
hope of making any money or gaining any fame or success from blogging. I have
taken it as a challenge, and I have started it today, April 1, 2025.
So, I'm going to talk about the challenges in this blog
post, and hopefully, I will be able to face them all. But before that, I need
to know the challenges that I have to address.
Being Consistent
The first challenge is that I am not consistent or
regular. Writing 1000 words in a single day is not a big deal or a problem for
me, but 99% of the time I fail to do so. So, indeed, this is my biggest
challenge, because if I could just write 1000 words each day, success would
have come long ago. You see, 1000 words means 30,000 words per month, and that
translates to 100 pages of a book.
Or, in other words, if I can just write 1000 words every
day, then I will be able to write a 100-page book every month. It's as simple
as that.
Laziness
So, it comes down to the second challenge: I am a lazy
person when it comes to writing.
In my life, I was never a lazy person. I was always very
hardworking, and I still love to work hard at the age of 50 plus years. But I
feel really sad and sometimes depressed that when it comes to writing, I'm lazy
because I know that if I try, I can easily write 1000 words each day, but I
fail most of the time.
And if I want to become successful, then I have to face
this challenge. I have to face the challenge of writing at least 1000 words
every day. Today, I know that I'll be able to write at least 5000 words and
upload them to my blogs.
Quality Content
However, I have to think about quality content. When it
comes to quality content, then you must spend some time on revision and
editing. After writing a post, I have to read it at least two or three times,
and then I have to go for editing or corrections because there will be some
spelling mistakes, grammatical mistakes, and silly typing mistakes. These are
natural. These are common. But I'm never eager to do revisions.
That is why my blog posts, despite having so much
potential, lose their attraction because of this simple problem.
Perfection is not
good
Now, the fourth challenge is that I'm too obsessed with
perfection. And that is why I often lose the interest in writing a quality
article.
I feel that it is not good enough and not perfect. And
that is why I lose the motivation and the energy to write something.
Anyway, I have to learn to deal with it and focus on it.
This is indeed a very big challenge and a significant hindrance or obstacle to
my success.
Burnout
The fifth challenge is that I get burned out so easily. Why
do I get burned out? I get burned out because I am a very hardworking person,
as I stated. Today, I may be able to write around 10,000 words for my blogs,
but then I get tired, and tomorrow I won't write anything. And I have to change
this habit.
I have to analyze the problem. I have to accept this
challenge: I am going to work every day, no matter what. I'm going to try my
best.
Celebrate your
Success
In the past, I suffered so much from this kind of
problem. Now, I understand the problem. This happened because I was around
toxic people and getting burned out by toxic matters.
I have to come out of it and try to relax more and have
a refreshing mindset. The sixth challenge is that I do not celebrate my
success.
After finishing a work, I just feel, "Okay, I have
done it. Now, go for the next challenge." I have achieved a lot in my
life, and in the last 20 years, I have had many successes, but I never tried to
celebrate them.
You see, when you celebrate something, you get
refreshed. And if you can take a break and enjoy your success, then you are
ready for the next success with more eagerness. But I used to do the opposite.
I was always in a hurry for the next challenge, and I
didn't even want to waste a single day, which was a very big mistake. And now I
will try to change my habit and try to celebrate every small success.
Speed is not
always Good
The seventh challenge is that I was never a patient man
in my life. I was always a fan of speed. I wanted to achieve anything more
quickly. And this is not a good thing.
I have realized that if I can go a bit slower, the
quality will improve. And sooner or later, the speed will also improve. For
example, when I started blogging, it used to take almost a whole day or 10
hours to write 1,000 words.
Learn to Relax
But gradually, I could see that I could write 1,000
words within just two hours. And the quality improved as well. So, I must learn
to be patient because only then will success come.
The next challenge is that I was never a very focused
person in my life. I achieved some success and then moved to a new work, a new
challenge, and lost focus this way. That is why I have changed many jobs, and I
was never focused on only one field.
Stick to Just one
Topic and One challenge
If I had done so, then I would have achieved success at
an international level. Even though I spent 10 years on Facebook, I was never
on one single page or focused on one single group. Now, in blogging, I am going
to change this, and this is really a very big challenge.
I have to focus on only one blog and focus on a single
topic. Can I do it? If I can, then there is no doubt that I will achieve huge
success. In fact, this is my biggest challenge.
Lack of practice
The final challenge is that since I am not focused on a
single topic, I do not have enough practice. For example, the basic rules of
blogging are very easy. You have to write quality content, which I am confident
that I can write.
You have to focus on search engine optimization
strategies, which is a bit challenging for me. If I can focus for just 10 days,
I can learn it. You have to be regular, which I am sure that if I try, I will
be able to do.
Again, I have to focus on a single topic, and I have to
focus only on this. I achieved huge success in writing about South Asian
business and economy. If I had continued doing it for 19 years, I would now be
one of the best in the whole world.
Final Words
Now, in conclusion, I would like to state that I will
not make the same mistakes, and I will accept the challenge. And every day, I
will try my best to deal with the challenges. I am hopeful that this time, with
all the maturity and learning from my previous mistakes, I will accept the
challenges happily and will become a successful blogger.
