To be successful in any industry you must set yourself goals and challenges. The best way to become a successful blogger is to start blogging and moving towards your goals. There are times you’ll become burnt out and struggle for ideas, however, this is never a failure. Failure is a lesson. The more lessons that you have, the more likely you’ll succeed. Every car journey consists of a number of: gear changes, starting points, speed restrictions and opportunities to accelerate. Driving is exactly the same as any career. You’ll have high points and low points.
Challenge yourself to succeed
Deadlines are an important part of life. You must get used to that. To be a successful person we need to create goals and challenges for ourselves. Give yourself 30 days to reach a worthy goal. 30 days isn’t long.
Consider this, when you constantly do something over 30 days you’re creating a habit. These habits can be empowered for the good.
Some examples of things you can do over 30 days:
- Walk 30 minutes a day
- Read 30 minutes a day
- Write an article everyday
- Communicate with one new person everyday on Twitter
- Spend five minutes a day keeping your work space tidy
These are all simple goals that can be achieved daily. Consider what you would gain from doing these daily activities. Focus on what you’ll gain.
Issuing a challenge to your blogging community is a great way of maintaining determination and motivation. You want to be reliable, don’t you? If you let others down, you let yourself down. Focus on developing a system where you’ll never back out. As a blogger your reputation is at stake.
Some examples of 30 day challenges

Matt Cutts the head of Google’s Webspam team has a 30 day challenge every month. Matt decides to let his audience vote for the next challenge.
Some of the challenges were:
- Try one new thing every day
- Learn to play the guitar
