Darren,

What you have shared here extends far beyond blogging. So many of us waste precious time lamenting over what we don’t have rather than focusing on what we do have and building on that.

You have touched on the key to building a successful life as well as business empire. What’s important for readers to note is that it took time. You didn’t throw all of these ideas out at once. As a matter of fact, you didn’t even see the newer ideas coming until it was time for them to be born.

Thanks once again for helping us point our attention and energy in the right direction for success.

This is an inspiring post, to realise what you already have is a good way of taking an objective look at what could be done next.

For instance I know what I’m going to do with severa of my blogs and that is build upon my art blog for sure, as I think it will be well recieved with more information on how I draw the way I do, some kind tutorials of some kind with real progressive samples.

Anyway thanks for the post, as ever some great points to establish more content.

Congrats, Darren, on your success. I first came upon your blog about 2-3 years back and have witnessed its phenomenal growth.

Your “Build Upon What You have Built” is an important lesson for me to learn. My difficulties had been lack of focus and constant distractions from a multitude of get-rich-quick programs.

Thanks for sharing your secrets. I’m hoping to consolidate and to focus on the topics I like best and to build upon what I’ve built and hoping to build from now on.

Have a great weekend,
Evelyn

Hi Darren,

Excellent advise and well said to.

Build upon what you built to continue building what you have build for other thing you are building so whatever you have built will keep building.

There’s too many build or built I have used and this building upon what you have built can bring you to the next level and level after level..

I 100% agree and support this idea of building upon what you have built and I see it as a good way of making sense to people who would just build one thing and just sit on it after that.

Thanks Darren.

Cheers!
Zacky

Darren: I like your idea of continuing to build on the success. But what I did not understand is that why you not make all your blogs on one website?

Darren,

Probably the best parts of this post for me are reminding me to stop every 6 months to see what I have accomplished and not to define my goals or success by what somebody else has achieved.

Best,

Jeff

Very sound advice. This is why this blog rocks to the core.

I have a pretty successful blog, but I am always coming up with new ideas for other things. One thing I have to keep in mind is that it is good to build on what I have rather than splitting my activities up all over the place to the point where nothing really takes off. So, this advice is good.

Hello Darren

I’m new to blogging and have only been involved for a month or so. Am really enjoying it but find it’s very time consuming. I sell real estate and have started a blog as an addition to the website I’ve had for the last last 10 years. I find my blog more flexible and enables me to do things that I couldn’t with the website.
Your comments are in line with my thinking and I realize its going to take time and hard work. My aim is to build traffic and then to monetize my blog. I’ve viewed your blog on a number of occasions and its good value.

Cheers

Darren,
thanks very much for sharing your personal experience with us. So your general suggestions become very practical and more easy to follow. Anyhow, do you think it might be possible to install something like “I say something on your blog (not yours, Darren, but one of the commenting people here), and you comment on mine?” Just once a month or so? I for myself use the commenting postings for visiting other blogs – and comment sometimes – but could there be such thing in an organized way? I hope my question is not too stupid.

It’s really nice post.
This situation comes when blogger feels inferiority about their blogging,specially niche bloggers.

Thanks for a motivative post.

This is a very simple yet insightful idea. Your success proves that moving forward is in fact the only way forward. We are at the start of the process taking our traditional marketing firm and trying to integrate blogging and social media into what we do for ourselves and for our clients. It pretty intimidating now, but we’re digging in and getting our chops up. Thanks for the insight.

Great post!

Two good examples of people who continue to build upon what they have built is:

Back in ‘94 there was a guy online as SteveMoMo: all I knew was that he knew more than me and was eager to help everyone with anything. I’d refer everyone to him. After a long absence from the web, i have found my new guru. Thank you for the information. I’m not that interested in the monetary aspect of blogging but with your help I now have a medium for my friends- spread throughout the country- to discuss topics relivant to us. Great site!

I have been wanting to begin a blog for a very long time. I too have been finding reasons for not staring a blog other than just doing it. Thanks for the tips.
