Do you question what is holding you back from success? It's funny how it can be difficult to see the areas where your hold yourself back. As a blogger do you know what's holding you back from success?

I can almost hear you thinking it's all the tasks that I'm not proficient at getting done. You know the research on SEO, and how to drive traffic to my website. You feel as if these tasks are causing you to spin your wheels and waste your valuable time.

When you start down the path of creating a blog, it was with the dream of finding a way to make money online.

Those tasks aren't what's holding you back.

Now, this is important it's fear holding you back from creating a profitable blog. A profitable online business.

It is fear causing you to spin your wheels and waste your valuable time.

You guessed it, fear is what's holding you back from making money with your blog.

It is keeping you stuck. Above all, it is keeping you from creating that course or digital product you've mapped out in your journal.

The voice of fear.

How do you keep heading in the right direction when that little voice of fear in your head is distracting you?

Here's how it works, it will get all up in your head. Causing you to think about all the things you don't want for your blogging success.

I know from first-hand experience when you're focused on what you don't want, you'll encounter many little side paths that cause your journey to take longer. You and I both know this only causes you to feel discouraged in your progress.

Let's face it, these side paths are not very smooth and cause you to struggle with staying focused on what you set out to achieve with your blog.

After all, struggle caused by fear lead to feeling as if you're spending more time in reverse. Also to what you don't want instead of what you do want.

Is fear disguising itself as busy or the need for perfection?

Would your time be better spent working on your first course or the digital product that you can sell to your list?

If you still feel you struggle with time management. 

Here are a few things that I've implemented to manage my time efficiently.
