You are such a sweetheart! That comment you just left me above would make a GREAT blog post. Use it!!

Your mentor is right, just put that cursor on the page and start typing. There are so many people out there just like you (and me) that need to hear from us, because they are in the same boat.

You have so much ‘giving’ in you. Go out and GIVE it!

Hugs,

P.S. If you haven’t already subscribed to Jason Better’s blog I highly recommend you do. He puts out great information … bite-sized … every day. I learn a ton from there. Go to his blog and do a search for “keywords”. He just wrote a couple of great blog posts about using keywords in your posts.

What a great article about my favorite cartoon character, Woody Woodpecker. Now, in real life those little suckers are so destructive, but when I watch them work there is a great lesson…they are one persistent bird!

I, like you, am a perfectionist. I took a couple of free blogging classes, got my blog all set up, nice, pretty and with all of the right plug-ins, widgets, a professional header installed, the gamut. Then, the ultimate “freeze” came.

I got all hung up on keywords, what to write, how to use key phrases…well, you get my point. I did absolutely nothing but sit there, cry and think I was a failure. But, I took the next step, contacted my mentor, got back on the proverbial horse, and took another class, asked a ton of questions…and froze.

After a lot of reflection, I heard my mentor say, are you going to be like some and become a professional student, or are you going to take action to get results…Carla…just write, you can do it. Forget all the other stuff, just write your first article, it will come. Putting the cursor on the paper just about did me in, but I DID IT!

Now, I’ve finished my second and working on my third article, it’s not that bad. Oh, they are perfect, and I am NOT going back to tweak them, I will forge forward and like Mr. Woody, I will repeat, repeat and repeat until my “hole” is whole.

Thanks for the excellent read, Ilka. You are my inspiration and a true friend.

Have a great weekend!

Great post! Sometimes It’s difficult to try to accomplish all that our minds intend to accomplish in a single day.

It’s my first time here…I love your content. Have a great day.

What a nice surprise to see you here! Hope all is well with you and the family.

Thanks for your kind words!

Have an awesome evening!

Wow! You’ve actually seen a woodpecker in action? Lucky you!! I have only heard them in action, lol.

You’re right, not being perfect allows us to grow.

How does it go? … If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

Have a great evening!

Ilka

On a side note, I’ve seen a woodpecker in action and saw they make. Talk about perfect. !WOW!

We can’t always be like Wood Woodpecker and be perfect. There will be times when things will not go right.

And, that’s actually a good thing. It allows us to learn and grow.

This when we start getting the results.

Chat with you soon,
