Here’s an interesting situation.

You’re ambitious. You desire to grow a fantastic blog, in fact possibly the best blog on your topic in the entire blogosphere.

You realize that in order to be the best you need to have the most traffic, a huge RSS readership and serious exposure.

With big traffic comes the potential for big earnings. With thousands of daily readers you can earn thousands of dollars per month. You know a six figure blogging income is not only realistic, you expect to be in the top 1% of blog earners.

In order to realize your ambition you need content - the best content on your blogging topic - and lots of it.

To meet these goals you have to commit yourself to some serious work. Your blog won’t write itself. You are quite capable of producing fantastic content - content good enough to make you one of the best in your field, but there is a problem. You are lazy.

Okay, that’s not entirely fair. You are not lazy, it’s just that you are not prepared to commit to anything that asks you for many hours of work each and every day of your life. What you crave is flexibility and independence.

You want an income source that is reliable regardless of how much work you feel like doing today or tomorrow. You like the idea of taking a few days off or even a few months off now and then. Blogging is still something you want to take seriously, you might even do it every day for a while when your motivation is strong, you just don’t want a never-ending obligation.

You are aware enough to realize that motivation and interest change, hence you must plan for a future where you are not feeling motivated about blogging or when life circumstances take you away from your blog.

You want the rewards of being one of the best, if not THE best in your niche, but are you committed enough to do the work necessary to get there?

The most common and powerful advice dished out by every expert on this planet is one word: Action.

At the heart of almost all business and personal development education is the concept that in order to realize a goal you have to do something - sometimes anything will do - to get a result.

It may seem obvious, and intuitively you understand why action works, yet it’s common advice because most people fail to do it.

I regularly refer to taking action in the articles here on Entrepreneurs-Journey.com and also in the blog training materials I produce for my newsletter and mentoring program. I read similar advice on other blogs and in books I read on business and self improvement.

There is one tip you hear more often than any other at the end of podcast interviews or speaking presentations from experts. It goes along the lines of “do something if you want results” - yes, more take action advice.

In many ways if you really want the true “Secret” to success in life, it is taking action.
