So the other day I noticed that I had now been running this blog for over 2 years. Which is not only surprising but encouraging. Unbeknownst to me I had managed to sustain a website with regular updates for an extended time without it becoming a chore or absorbing my life. Previously I ran a movie review website for quite some time and it was proving successful, it more than paid for itself, but the demands of keeping the content updated became too much and I ditched it.
However lessons were learnt, and these lessons have been further molded and formed with the study I’ve been doing over the last year, plus a yearning to do more with the coaching skills I continue to discover, than is offered in my everyday job.
Over the weekend I suffered from an unexpected (aren’t they always) bout of sickness that left me with lots of time lying in bed with nothing else to do other than think. Not something I get much time to do nowadays. And rather than being a pain this has given me the opportunity to decide what to do with all of this stuff I can do, and continue to learn. And so the next steps are beginning to take shape. I won’t mention much more at this stage other than it seems to answer the key questions I would ask if I was coaching myself through the thought process (which of course I am). And so I’m busily researching and developing and planning the next steps. And, of course, taking action; for it is action that makes success of belief and direction. That is, if you believe in such nonsense, which I assume you must do if you take the time to read my site.

Matt,
Sounds like you have something really exciting cooking….I like the quote above, it kind of reminds me of the following:
“It’s in our moments of decision that our desinty is created.”
~ Anthony Robbins
I hope all is well..
