Okay this hits close to home.

“They DO come to terms with their weaknesses…”

Because I don’t do most of the things on that list, and it has cost me.

This article is just another example of why I love problogger so much. The list of “conventional items” really was an eye opener. Yes, I believe all of those are true. I have already bucked a few of them but now I’ve got ideas for the others!

I am putting these to use. Today. Right now.

Thanks again.

I am sitting in a corner(literally) in an internet kiosk and was thinking whether I did the right thing by quitting a well paying but sick job and joining a startup – now I realize, I may be audacious ! thanks Skellie.

These points definitely resonate. However I have noticed that many of the successful” bloggers either ignore or bash other bloggers, and fail to practice what they preach. This is one of the reasons I don’t feel comfortable approaching them.

Some find it a joke that an “underling” would have the audacity to contact them for an interview or guest blog.

“Living and blogging with audacity”, I live and learn! So many good points to digest. I hope that my efforts are welcomed by my readers. Admitting your failures is sometimes quite hard to do, but not doing so can do more harm to your progress. Top Bloggers like Darren and yourself I’m sure went through all these teething times but came out stronger and more knowledgeable from the journey

Thanks again for your input, which i value greatly,
Success

This is the best peice of advice out there. I think the biggest one was learning from your mistakes and teaching others by telling them what specific mistakes you made. It tickles my fancy when I see people come out of the wood works as if everything they touch turns to gold, when in reality, it takes a lot of hard work and determintation to get to where they are now.

Really good advice Skellie. You have posted great stuff this week! You can come post for me anytime!

Great post Skellie. And thanks for holding out on problogger this week. Also welcome Darren, we missed you.

I agree that we need to be quite open in sharing our thoughts through the medium of blogging. My experience shows that I have more traffic when I write from my heart and personal experiences than otherwise.
I also agree that asking for help, HELPS! That’s why I keep coming back again and again. In fact, I just celebrated all of the newbies that have inspired me to work better. Its all there at my site! Steve Sanders, for instance has helped me improve security and permalinks.
I think that it’s good to be radical and audacious in blogging, and, of course, responsibly too.
Thanks for an inspiring post.

“How often have you come across a ‘make money online’ blog only to wonder whether the blogger behind it was making any money at all?”

I’m too polite to name names, but I spent 2 weeks visiting a “successful blogger’s website last week and was appalled by the quality of writing and content I found there. To make matters worse, this blogger is telling new writers to follow suit to make money with a blog- and they believe it!

So sad.

A great post. It succinctly summed up what I’ve been doing lately (the conventional side) – and not doing enough of (the audacious side). Recognizing the issue is the first step; now it’s time to change behaviors. Thank you.

It was nice having you here Skellie, maybe you can write guest post on my blog for a day if you have time ;)

hmm… I also thought it was about Audacity, a program which I don’t really like.

anyway, I’m quite a reserved person so just blogging at all and putting myself out there is being audacious.

Okay, okay – that’s it – all week I’ve been hearing about being more audacious and now you’ve gone and used the actual word. Now I need to stick on my brainstorming cap and figure out a way I can super audacious and bring more people into the blog and onto my workshop page.

I also thought this post had to do with the audio program Audacity, which I was going to sign up with.

Hi Skellie – I feel I blog/live with audacity in my life. I am always quick to admit fault and try and improve.

Some see it as lazy to ask someone the answer to a question, while I see it as saving time and money for the company I work for, or the blog I am blogging on.

My site

http://www.savingsguide.com.au

is all about saving money and I use it as a way to be direct, upfront and talk to my readers about how they can increase their personal wealth, as 50% of it is a mental game as well.
