Showing up is easy. Showing up with something to say worth reading is hard.

Sort of like, “you gotta be in it to win it.”

In the War of Art, Pressfield says part of getting good at something is “showing up.” It’s the key to overcoming resistance – http://thebookshare.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-to-overcome-resistance.html He points out that it’s the secret that experienced writers know, that the new writers don’t.

We get good at what we put time into and care about. Little improvements over time.

Some times we are so busy in life and your blog is growing like grass because you just started out you have to push yourself to show up.

Great tip – some people don’t even bother to do that very often!

Seth’s comment makes sense if he wasn’t posting regularly previous to 2007.

Isn’t that the most important thing in life as well? It’s definitely one of the hardest things to do for some reason.

Yes, true.

To get noticed, one has to show up.

I did too.

Awfully simple advice, and yet most people don’t make it that far. You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Seth Godin, at his best lol…
