Don’t Kid Yourself: Do It Every Day

Published June 16, 2023 by Niall Doherty
From an article by Jeff Goins entitled, Why You Need to Write Every Day…
Spending five hours on a Saturday writing isn’t nearly as valuable as spending 30 minutes a day every day of the week. Especially when you’re just getting started.
…habits practiced once a week aren’t habits at all. They’re obligations. Or maybe, at best, cute little hobbies.
And let’s not kid ourselves here. If you’re doing something once a week, it’s probably only a matter of time before you stop doing it altogether.
Jeff walks his talk.
He revealed in a 2019 interview…
I had decided when I started this blog at the end of 2010 when I was getting much more serious about writing for a living that I would do this for two years before I would quit. I would write every single day on this blog for two years without quitting.
That simple habit turned into a thriving business…
By the end of 2011, I’d grown an email list of about 10,000 people and realized that I could monetize this. Then in 2012, I sold a couple of ebooks and made about $50,000 off of this ebook called You Are A Writer, so Start Acting Like One. Then from there, I turned that ebook, essentially, into an online course called Tribe Writers and made an extra $100,000 or so off of that and some affiliate marketing that I was doing.
In 2012, I made about $150,000 in side income off of this little blog business that I had started in the last six months of the year.
Near the end of the interview he says…
[the business has] made a lot of money, millions of dollars in income… I’ve been running my business for almost seven years now
What’s the one habit that, if you did it every day without fail, would help you build an awesome business?
