What I Need To Improve On & What Is Working In My Blog
“A man can never hope to be more than he is if he is not first honest about what he isn’t.”
-Don Williams Jr.
Hello all.
My beyond successful life has to do with the fact that I’m aware of what I need to improve on with my blog. This awareness of what needs improvement helps me become better. You can go around and ask many different opinions from others about what you need to improve on, but in reality you already know what needs work. I am honest with where my talents and weaknesses lie.
Below are the the things I believe I need to improve on, and putting it out there will allow me to be more accountable for my own personal development. With this honest self-evaluation, I intend that my readers get a sense of where I’m in my own personal journey at the moment.
What I need To Improve On
1. Be a better teammate. I know that there are so many times, where I feel I can do it all myself. The truth is I can’t do it all myself. One of the reasons, I have this belief I can do it all myself, is because I’ve seen success when I’ve done it alone. But I am sensitive to the fact, that I need to be a better teammate if I ever want to be in a position to impact the lives of a wider audience.
2. Learning how to say no. It may seem strange, but I know that I have a hard time saying “no.” But I have to realize that when something doesn’t feel right for me, I have to say no. I get myself in trouble when I commit to too many projects that keeps me saying “yes” to a projects that, I realistically don’t have time for.
3. Stop hiding. I consider myself a pretty private person. I like my space. I honor my freedom. But I realize in order to get to where I really want to go and have my visions complete, I need to be more open with others in a manner that allows them to enter my space so we can create together. This also goes back to being a better teammate.
4. Fear of Being Misunderstood. I understand that many of the topics I present on these blogs, and my videos for a majority of the people can be misinterpreted or misunderstood. I believe that I must get this block, and say what I really want to say, without fear that people will not “get it.” I an sensitive to the fact that some of the ideas I express on here, may be too ahead of it’s time. To improve this I just need to keep writing, and clearly stating my points the best way I can at the moment.
What Is Working For Me
1. My writing. I believe my writing is getting better, and I enjoy the process of writing. My writing has improved significantly since I first began blogging 2 years ago. A lot of it has to do with my persistence, to just continue to write every single day as a habit to continue to improve. I am satisfied and confident with my style of writing.
2. My authenticity. The posts you read come straight from my heart, and from my experiences. I appreciate when people feel the authenticity in my writing, and can feel my passion through the words I type on this blog. If I’m starting a blog post on any given, topic I feel the need to always make sure it’s got my personal stamp of approval first. I don’t like to read phony or fake material online, so I make a sincere effort to keep my creative work authentic and real to me first, so in turn it will be felt as authentic and real to my readers.
3. My Creativity. I am aware of the degree of creativity I display on here, and I have a lot of fun and joy knowing that my creativity is where it needs to be at this point. I feel blessed to also be around creative people, that help me in my creativity, this allows me to come up with new ideas that I feel confident with putting together.
4. My readers. I am very happy to see readers come on here and get positive value from these blogs. So I’m happy to say that I get a gradual increase every month on my blog views, which means that the 3 thing listed above that are working for me, and continue to work for me. I am grateful for all my readers. I’m doing something right if my views increase every month.
Lastly, I just want to state that as I move along with this blog, I continue to be open for improvements and better efficient ways to get my message across to people. I am aware that this journey of blogging will have it’s ups and downs, but the process at the end of the day will be well worth it. I love blogging, and will be here for as long as my passion is in it.
