Especially if you’ve learned something along the way. But if your goal was to use the month to create something upon which you can build, both in terms of learning curve and raw material, then perhaps it’s better to stop right where you are. Learn something from the process. Nothing wrong with that. And you know what?

Betrayal is the breaking or violation of a presumptive social contract, trust, or confidence, says Wikipedia. I give them time and attention because I do learn things that I can make valuable for my situation, but I wouldn’t pay (for instance) for advice on being a professional blogger when I have no ambitions in that direction.

The guy writes with confidence and authority. Unlike the person who seems mentally permalinked to 1994, I’m constantly learning new things at a tremendous pace, mostly just because I love it. Too many want to turn this critical aspect of their business over to others, without learning even the slightest part of it.

Most writers aren’t brimming over with confidence, either. Has your style become more confident? Let’s face it, you’re always going to be learning, just by being engaged with words.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of emailing off four, five, or more guest posts quickly and then expecting to see your work on the blog of your choice the very next day. If in doubt, a polite email to the site owner may be in order. It’s perfectly acceptable to email your contact and ask about the status of your post.

We like authority and people who have conviction, who stand up and speak their mind with confidence. To avoid the hypocrisy, whatever a person’s talk is, they should also be walking it or learning to walk it. Most of us teach what we needed or still need to learn ourselves. We pay attention to these people, too.

As for listening to parents, mine learned this weekend that a wise parent can actually prevent theft. Or with as much confidence. Do we appreciate it because we’ve learned how to make it interesting to us, or because we can choose to work on what interests us most? What are you going to tell them?&# Kind of sad.

A website like that conveys confidence, pride and prowess. I know whenever I’m looking to hire somebody for contract work or to share in projects I’m taking on I always check their website to learn more about them.

Maybe you take part in online forums or swap your work with friends by email. You get these really great emails to help cheer you along. Then the email drops through the box.

We listened, asked questions, and learned more every time we did. Solomon – I feel that being able to discuss, talk and look at all sides of the coin is a gift, and yet so many people ignore the opportunity to ask questions, go deeper and learn more.

Sometimes we’d forget to ask a question and have to send a new email to confirm a detail – that wastes time. Do you simply direct them to the link on your site or do you email the questionnaire to them? We had a pretty good idea of what we needed to know in order to do our job well.
