Where have I been?
I will not lie. I have been lazy when it came to this project. I changed jobs, got a cold and moved onto other fascinating projects. But that has all changed again and you know what is worswe than being lazy. A person who quits. Who cares that I wasted 3 months(well actually I do care but I can't do anything about that now). It is time to pick myself up, get motivated again and start pumping out the content and watching the income rise.
I didn't actually just start again today. I got moving slowly on self improvement and self development again last month in June and its only now that I am ready to revisit this project. I have added a blog post to my blog which outlines my Monthly review of June :

This article shows why I have been away from the niche website business. I have been more focused on sports betting which I am doing really well in. I had spent a lot more time focused on that rather than this side project but I also was extremely lazy and procrastinated a lot. I believe I got into the "treadmill" of life and just woke up, worked, didn't think, watched tv/youtube, went to bed mode. I wasn't improving. I wasn't thinking. I was wasting away. I had not been exercising as its winter here and my energy levels were low.
That has all changed when I walked into my library (well I walked into the extra room where my book case is) and saw the self development books and I picked one up and started reading and the motivation returned.
I am currently reading Atomic Habits and its a great read for anyone who hasn't read it. It has taught me the difference between motion and action. Motion is things like this where I write about my progress, come up with ideas and put up plans about what I am going to do. Action is doing the necessary work to move forward on the project which for a niche website is writing /publishing content.
So the great thing is I am 6 days into July and sticking to my progress of an exercise routine and getting some writing done. A long way to go till the end of this month but I am hoping to instill the habit going forward.
Glad to be updating here again as I was avoiding coming here because I had felt like I had failed. But the great thing is I hadn't failed, I had just stalled and starting again allows me to move forward. I think I finally have my "Why?" that gurus talk about all the time. It took me a long time to work it out. My "Why?" is family. That should be obvious but I have distilled that down into exactly why it is my family and why its important and how I am responsible for it.
If your looking for some self improvement feel free to steal any of the ideas I write about, also feel free to challenge them.
That should do for this post but I will try and post at least once a month going forward on both the site and this forum. Maybe even more often.
For those who don't want to go to the blog here to read through it about the niche site (see end of that article) here is the important graphs:
