As you can see, time is a problem here, too. I've decided to take a cue from Tim's book (and from something a good friend told me a CEO of a very successful internet company told her) and chunk it up. There are so many things I want to do with my blog and writing, so I'm making a list and tackling it one step at a time. Luckily, advertisers aren't beating at my door yet, so I can leave that for towards the end! I couldn't imagine working with a dour coach, I tend to crumple up and doubt myself even more. Of course, I think some of the things Tim is helping me with will help me deal with dour people, because that's always been a problem for me. All that dour needs to stay external, thank you very much, instead of thinking it is something to do with me. Hi Lesley! You know what I think is great is by sharing this, I think I'm getting a better grasp on it than I would even just with working with Tim. It makes me happy to think that this could be of help to other people. Hi Patricia! As you can see, time is a problem here, too.

Now, I have to stop working on the blog for a week and go and take my renewal certification exams in Ethics off in another city and I must get high marks because I am getting old and the board members are scrutinizing to see if I am gaining wisdom or maybe burnout/dementia...I feel the pressure. Plus I would rather keep learning how to write an e-book than pursue ads and that filthy stuff - money. Wouldn't I? So much to do and so little time. I would certainly need to be coached by someone who could laugh and tease....how successful would a dour coach be? I understand the sour folks can not even stay married - as I read on another blog this morning. Thank you for this great post and sharing your experience in good spirits...now I must go vacuum the living room as there is no time to loose. <abbr><em>Patricia´s last blog post..<a href="http://patriciaswisdom.com/2009/04/kindle-2-and-5-things-i-love-about-it/">Kindle 2 and 5 Things I Love About It!</a></abbr></em> Hi Tracy,

So much to do and so little time. I would certainly need to be coached by someone who could laugh and tease….how successful would a dour coach be? I understand the sour folks can not even stay married – as I read on another blog this morning.

Thank you for this great post and sharing your experience in good spirits…now I must go vacuum the living room as there is no time to loose.

You know what's funny today I was walking and it hit me, hey don't most people say what they like about my blog is that the things I write about are like what is going on in their head, minus the buying food that looks gross and taking pictures of it and tasting it? I mean, it's not likely that I am attracting only the very rare people who think like me through some sort of weirdo homing device. So, really, it's a gift to have such common problems otherwise I'd have no audience! Tim has a section in one of his books where he talks about saying "I can't do it" vs. "I haven't done it yet" and now that you've confirmed that it's a wise choice, I will do it. Hi Alisa!

I mean really, are you? I loved reading this and getting an inside look at your thinking mind. As for that "I'm not good at getting ads," my thought is this: you only feel you are not good at it because this is a skill that you have not yet practiced. You will be good at it, you just are not good at it YET. The more you try, the better you will get.
