Do you opt for perfection or progress? ⠀
⠀
Oftentimes we can get so caught up in perfection (yep, that's me for sure!) that we halt our progress towards our broader goals 🤦‍♀️⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you have been working on the copy for your email funnel for weeks, or editing that one photo for Instagram for two hours so it matches perfectly with your feed, or waiting to publish that new blog post because you want it to be absolutely 1,000% perfect then step back and give yourself permission to get things out there before they are totally perfect! ⁠💫⠀
⁠⠀
The first time you put something out to the world it is often just the first draft. There is nothing stopping you from tweaking and refining it over time, making improvements based on feedback and data 👩🏽‍💻 to eventually get it perfect for your audience! ⠀
⁠⠀
I will leave you with this... "Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence." ~ Vince Lombardi

Just a few more days until the end of the month and then we are already halfway through 2020! Personally I am looking forward to NYE more than ever this year - can anyone else relate?!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But before we get there, there are still 6 more months of the year to make count, so before you jump into work on your new July goals it is time to look back on the past month and make sure your small business is in order! ⁠👩🏽‍💻⠀
⁠⠀
Boring? Yes, sometimes doing the monthly admin tasks can be a bit draining (especially the end of month accounting 😳) but there are also great opportunities at the end of the month to reflect on the last 30 days to help you make the next 30 count! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I put together a blog post with 10 Things All Small Business Owners Should Do At The End Of Each Month to stay on track and achieve their business goals to help you know what you should be doing at the end of every month.⁠ ⠀
⁠⠀
You can find it at https://beckyvandijk.com/things-to-do-every-month/ and the blog link in my bio ⠀
⁠⠀
Have a great day lovelies! 💫 ⁠⠀

What’s holding you back from achieving your blog

What’s holding you back from achieving your blogging goals?⁠
⁠
When I chat with my students and other bloggers I often hear the same responses ⁠
⁠
✨ “I don’t feel confident in what I am creating and putting out to the world”⁠
⁠
✨ “I feel overwhelmed by all the different areas of learning... getting to grips with SEO, email list building and all the tech!”⁠
⁠
✨ “I keep comparing myself to so and so blogger and I am worried I am too late catch up to where they are at” ⁠
⁠
✨ “I publish new articles every week but I am not gaining any traction with growing my blog traffic”⁠
⁠
✨ “I can’t find enough time to dedicate to my blog to make it a success”⁠
⁠
✨ “I don’t know how to take my blog to the next level and start monetising”⁠
⁠
Do any of these resonate with you? I would love to hear what you think is holding you back so I can share the resources and advice to help you overcome these barriers! ⁠
⁠
I absolutely believe that every single one of these obstacles and others can be overcome with the right strategies and approach to your blog. At some point or another I have experienced many of these doubts but I found ways to push forward and over them, and would love to help you do the same!⁠

Happy Friday everyone! What are your plans for the weekend?⁠
⁠
We are thinking about road tripping out to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs for the day just to get a change of scenery. Have you been? I would love any tips for great (socially distanced!) spots to visit! ⁠
