Yes I Did Epic Fail

I hate admitting failures (especially right after a post about goals) but I have to.

I did not get 30 articles produced in 30 days.

sigh

I will not make excuses and only take responsibility.

I just didn’t get it done.

In the end I wrote three articles for distribution and outsourced two articles beyond that. Nine more stand ready for release but the project wasn’t to the point that we could do that.

When you set a very specific goal and you don’t meet it, the only thing you can realize is that you weren’t committed to it. Too many other things absorbed my attention and I made daily decisions that didn’t include writing more articles.

I hang my head low. Let the hair pulling commence.

It is for this reason I always am very cautious when accepting challenges. Unless I’m 101% sure there is room for it, I don’t participate. There’s enough of self flogging going on around my office every week as it is

But… no reason why you can’t continue till you finish the 30. Doesn’t matter how long or when as long as you get them out the articles will bring you good things no matter when they are being written/distributed

Lynette, I think I took it a bit lightly because I’ve been able to power write many times in the past, churning out entire special reports in an afternoon, etc.

I believe I failed to take everything else I had going on in September into consideration. Moms Affiliate Expo, SparkplugU Podcasting Bootcamp, etc. These live events take a lot of time up.

Thank you Carrie – yes, of course it is still great to have written three articles

Congrats on your 29!

Failure is just another word for Learning Curve — We can learn just as much from our failures as success…although it’s true that we really hate failure.

Sometimes when we get too much on our plate to finish…we need to just focus on the best portion. (:

Best wishes on more successes to come…and thanks for sharing this with us.
