@Hunter:

“… When I started my personal development business, it was largely in response to existing demand. Before I ever wrote my first blog post, people were already emailing me every week with productivity questions, small business questions, motivation questions, etc. It wasn’t a stretch for me to say yes to that because I enjoyed writing about personal growth. But I didn’t start the website and hope the demand would be there. I saw clear evidence that the demand was already there before I started. I said yes to what was already showing up. …”

@ Lori, even if the concept isn’t exactly a surprise, I think a lot of people, myself included, have underestimated what success really takes. I heard the 10,000 hour rule mentioned on the radio today, and I thought about how many things I’ve spent less than 10,000 hours on. I’m sure you’re capable of being an honor student – think about all the hours of practice you’ve put in!

Hello, again!

I can’t say much of that came as surprise 2 me. It should be obvious to most people that success isn’t an overnight thing or maybe it’s just that I’ve had a rather realistic dose of that, lately. My current goal is to be a honor student & even though school came easily to me when I was younger, I’ve been falling below my standards because my advanced classes take more devotion.

I definitely see this lesson as an inspiration. I’ve been having a lot of trouble convincing myself that I’m still capable of being an honor student. But if Darren can do that with his blog, why can’t I do it with my GPA.

Thank You =)

@ Carla, yeah, we all need to remember this. Slow and steady wins the race…unfortunately, sometimes it’s very slow!
