From the beginning of this site the idea was part of my ‘giving’ to achieve the success I’m looking for fully in the open, so this project, the building of the website Inspiration for Success and starting the project Inspiration for Success would be a live, real life, example of achieving success following the principles of success as described by Napoleon Hill. And somehow achieving the success I’m looking for, like receiving one million dollar, does indeed come with the type of things Napoleon Hill describes in his book Think and Grow Rich.
But the whole thing is starting to make sense, as e.g. except from the start I missed a lot of the desire, which as far as I can figure out goes back that I somehow lost the belief of earning or getting (or receiving) any significant amount of money. And main reason why I’m not where I want to be related to all kinds of goals and results I described has obviously to do with planning, especially proper planning, making flawless plans. As far as I can figure out also I may be too much of a dreamer and not realistic enough in goals and especially plans related to these goals, so my team does not believe where we are going and how we are going there and that we will get there.
I consider a major achievement though applying the principle of the Master Mind, where I tended to mix team and Master Mind. And as far as I can figure out now a Master Mind is something else than a team or a board as I had and have in mind for Inspiration for Success. What I experience now is that the team mainly acts as a Master Mind, in this case especially giving feedback on things I want where they consider it often unrealistic. And the Master Mind is bigger, as today I received an e-mail from a ‘hidden’ Master Mind team member that I didn’t like. But what was said in it was probably true and is valuable feedback, so certainly ‘Master Mind’ feedback. The Master Mind in my case often puts me back to reality, to being realistic, even though Napoleon Hill also kind of confirms that if you really want something extraordinary, something new, you may want to stick to it, no matter what. However, of course reality check, especially on plans seems to be important, especially if you’re a dreamer like me.
Persistence also seems to be something else than I thought as I think I am more stubborn than persistent. And according to Napoleon HIll, mentioning Henry Ford, there is nothing really wrong with being stubborn, but I guess it’s useful to at least know the difference and find a way how to convert stubbornness into persistence. In my case I found out patience is an important keyword quite some time ago and it is being confirmed by the team.
So why did I call this post ‘more planning and decisions’. Well, the project definitely needs better planning as basically there is no real practical plan. And there are some decisions I did not make yet, like how to deal with my daily post related to creating proper, researched, well written content. At least two team members keep reminding me of the need for better content and they are right. However, i also don’t want to give up on my daily post, which somehow is important to me. At first for SEO, like becoming displayed as news, but also as it is kind of the basis, the origin of the site.
However, I’m not sure if the team means i should stop with my daily post as I doubt that would really harm the site. The issue may be that I could better focus my time on quality content than a ‘daily post’ just for the sake of a daily post. Well, just ask i guess.
