Most people have hundreds of good ideas and talk themselves out of them. One of the biggest problems with those ideas is that we never complete any of them. We may start with enthusiasm, but it often doesn’t take more than one or two setbacks before the enthusiasm leaks out like air from a punctured tyre. Then it gets difficult to pump up that enthusiasm again. Anyway, there is that next great idea to work on so we can abandon that one with the flat tyre and move on. Looking back over my online career, I can see many wasted opportunities and incomplete projects. There are many courses that I haven’t completed, books not quite finished either read or written, websites with only a couple of posts, etc. That means that I’ve wasted hours of time and hundreds of dollars. Sure, I’ve had successes along the way, but I’m sure there would have been a few more if I’d been more focused at the right time. For example, one of my Twitter accounts has 5.886 followers, and my last tweet was May 6th 2014. At the time, I didn’t tweet regularly. The previous tweet was on April 3rd 2014, where I announced that I had deleted 2,499 inactive people. I had been more active before that but didn’t feel that I got much engagement there. Apparently Twitter is much more active now, so I will ramp that up again. That’s not my only Twitter account, but it is the biggest. Do you have any inactive accounts, unread or unwritten books, unfinished courses, dusty and cobweb-covered websites? Email me and tell me about them, I might be able to help you get them firing.
