There’s a saying that goes, “Drunkard can never get home.” That’s actually my translation to the Filipino saying, “Ang lasing ay hindi makakauwi kailan man sa kanilang bahay.”

I don’t know if you already heard that saying, but I heard that often from my Father when he’s still alive. Every time I missed something, my father then would remind me that saying. He would then tell me that I should have to step forward all the time and never stepping backward even once.

Normally, people describe a drunkard as a man that walk 1 step forward and step backward twice. With that, drunkard will never reach his destination.

Now, why do I tell you this? Well. My message is just simple. You should grow more as the day passes. When you started your blogging career, I’m sure, you’re still wondering what to blog, and how to blog. From your day to day blogging, you should learn things that will help your blogging abilities grow. Don’t just be contented with the skills, knowledge and passion you have today. Tomorrow, you should have surpassed your today’s level.

Make this your motto: “Tomorrow, I will be better than what I am now.” Put it in your mind and heart so that you’ll always be reminded on what to do. And for sure, after 1 year you are already 300 times better than what you are now today.

How to move forward?

(1) What’s your goal?

You must first identify your goals. Your goals are like your destination. If you don’t have goals in your blogging business or career, is like having no destination. And how can you move forward if you don’t have goal?

Normally, when a man enters a running contest, I’m sure his goal is to reach the finish line as fast as he could to reach it first, otherwise he will never reach the finish line.

Say for example: What I am doing during this month of September is putting into writing all the things I learned on how to blog, how to gain traffic for the blog, how to gain commentators and how to gain feed subscribers. In other words, my very goal is that by the end of the month, I already have written articles about how to blog, how to gain traffic for the blog, how to gain commentators and how to gain feed subscribers.

(2) Schedule your blogging activities.

After identifying your goal, the next thing you should do is to plan what to do to successfully achieve your goals. This is to prefer yourself and to make it sure that everyday you are doing the things that will move your forward.

(3) Strictly follow your schedule.

When everything has been set, then implement the plan. Do whatever planned and scheduled. Don’t ever skip something from your plans just because of your laziness or whatever unreasonable causes. If you miss to follow what has been planned then you’ll miss to hit your goal.
