Hey Dave!

I followed your advice to the letter and I absolutely mothballed them. I did wonder whether to add a temporary redirect to this site but instead I’ll simply add a short ‘gone fishin” post to Word And Mouth and The Podcast Guy.

Dave – insofar as where this all leads, I’m a complete mess at the moment. My coach tells me it’s perfectly natural. I call it mid-life crisis…

I’m giving myself three months of intensive simplification and introspection. If all else fails I’ll just go back to being the random unmaster of everything…

I hope you mothballed those sites instead of deleting them. I have older sites which I post on very rarely, yet continue to gradually ascend through the search engine results pages. Most gratifying!

But yeah, having one site to really focus on can help. At the moment, I’m spreading my effort over at least 3 sites, sometimes 5 or 6 during any given week. Short term, this is disaster. Long term, if the SERPs continue to play out as they have, I’ll be sitting on a gold mine.

It’s a ridiculously drawn-out process, Dave. That much I do know. And I know if I don’t commit and make the effort now, I never will. And that would be depraved and a big loss for me and people I want to work with.

I’m sacrificing a paid-for trip to the US in pursuit of the reboot. It pains me but I know this is exactly the sort of challenge that’s being put in my way by the Universe to prove that I want to make it happen, and make a difference.

Let’s make it happen for both of us!

Dave, you have probably made more than I have. I know I still have quite a ways to go before I get through many of the hidden conceits I still harbor. I don’t think the right way yet. But I’m getting there. You will too.

It is miraculous, I give you that. But I have to squeak out a truth: I wrote it on the train and lined it up, Chris Brogan-style. Frankly in this hectic world we live in that seems to be the only way these days.

Relationships are everything, DD. I feel like I need a relationship manager, and I don’t mean a humanless CRM package. Automation is not the way I roll.

Thanks for hopping by, bucko!

Love your incredible energy Dave. Thinking about the takeaways from this post the issue of FOCUS hit home with me. I’ve just completed a ebook/guide on how to find the work you love and get paid for it in 4 days of focused effort after a few weeks of excuses and avoidance.Its funny how incredible, inspired,energised and focused we can be when we allow ourselves the time indulgence,quit the excuses and self doubt . I’m hoping it will also help the self promotion aspect too by giving lots of great value and that ticks your second takeaway I hope.

Great post. Wish I could invent the magic app for you. Can’t imagine how you found the time to write it. You must not sleep very much. DMD

It’s both the blessing and the curse of being a solopreneur, right? We have the opportunity to dabble and grow both personally and professionally, but all those opporutnities can cause us to get a wee bit distracted.

Still, when me mess up a bit one day with our focus, we’re in total control of how we deal with the next.

So good luck tomorrow.
