I tried.
But I failed the third time too.
The whole website project got stuck.
It was a real estate rentals project.
I wanted to make a twist.
On the regular way people engage with a real estate rental service.
I searched for emotional triggers.
To use in my content strategy.
I recalled a chap from New Zealand wrote strong articles.
I have found Derek’s new blog first though.
Socialtriggers.com.
Mind-blowing.
I read 20-30 of his posts in a 3 hours push.
I worked on non-content projects more after a few months.
Derek got into video then onto youtube.
Has looked at most of his videos.
Didn’t fall in love with them.
But I kept looking.
After we got back from shopping earlier today.
I opened my laptop and.
Bang.
Derek came out with this beast.
It gets boiling at 02:29 with this line:
“No matter what you’re trying to start. People will come out of the woodwork. And they’re gonna try to give you advice.”
After that he goes punch after punch.
So, I committed myself to push this blog.
My take away.
If you have a mentor.
And they’re not on the top of your mind.
Keep checking on them.
Hey you, what do you start this January?

This post was a big help for me early on with a blogging project Perfect Blog Post [Infographic].

Here’s what I am up to now.
