As of August, this year, my non-compete agreement is over and I am already involved in a few local projects. One of those projects is in fact an entrepreneurship-investors event, called Venture Connect. Basically, my job here is to screen interesting projects, to evaluate them and to make sure they meet a certain criteria.

There are some unquestionable benefits like: increased exposure, enlarging your circle of influence, refining your writing skills and so on and so forth. In a massive guest posting project, you publish a few related blog posts (preferably from the same series) on a few blogs, all at the same time. They are in the circle of friends.

There are certain skills required to create and maintain a successful blog, I agree, but that has little to do with self-improvement. And I also did something to soften a potential crash: a dry run using a low effort project, just to get a glimpse of what should I expect. We’re incorporating skills, information, knowledge, experience.

It’s your connection to reality and as such, it cannot be infected with other people (or projections) presence.

If you don’t give yourself one, you’ll subconsciously start creating your own breaks – by cutting corners, skimping on quality, rushing projects. You’ll have more revisions than usual, and that takes time away from projects that earn you money. Don’t freak out that you don’t have a project to work on.

Nobody came to tell me what I have to do, they just informed me about the projects that were developed in the company and that was pretty much all.
