How to Become More Consistent in Your Daily Journaling

I started journaling a little over a year ago. It has become a regular part of my morning ritual. It has helped me clarify my thinking, process my feelings, and make better decisions.

However, like most people, I struggled with consistency. I wanted to journal. I was convinced of the benefits. But I found myself blowing it off with increasing frequency.



Sound familiar?



Several months ago I stumbled onto something that solved the problem. Not one hundred percent of the time, but most of the time.



Honestly, I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. It seemed too simple.



But I shared it with my wife, Gail, who was struggling with consistency herself. After successfully using it for a few weeks, she said, “Honey, you have got to blog about this.”

#066: The Difference Between the Wise and the Foolish (and Why It Matters to You) [Podcast]

I recently had a call from a business acquaintance who wanted to discuss a problem he was facing at work. I asked several questions, but it quickly became obvious that he didn’t really want to solve the problem.



A Man Without His Shoes Tied Together



My friend had a quiver full of excuses as to why things couldn’t change. It became apparent I was dealing with a classic “fool.” I know that sounds harsh, but it is what it is.



I knew immediately that talking about it any more was a waste of time. I had to change strategies.



In this week’s podcast, I discuss how to tell the difference between the wise and the foolish and why it matters—not only in terms of your effectiveness as a leader but in your success in life.

Affiliate Marketing with Integrity (a Conversation with Pat Flynn)

One of the easiest and most lucrative ways to monetize your blog is through affiliate marketing. For example, you review a book and include an affiliate link to the appropriate product page on Amazon. If you readers click on the link and buy the book, Amazon pays you a commission.



Interview with Pat Flynn



This is how I get started back in 2008. I didn’t make much money initially, but it was enough to cover my blog hosting fees. Fast forward to today. Affiliate marketing is my single biggest source of income.



In this video excerpt, I interview Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income. We discuss how to do affiliate marketing with integrity and generate more revenue than you ever thought possible.
