I have done some research and some thinking. I have been very close to another burnout. Working a full-time job and then working on weekends on my side-hassle was a bit too much as I had only a couple of hours of rest. And that was not enough to recover. Something had to change toContinue reading “What to focus on? Greedy platforms versus the less greedy…”

Keeping everything in one spot
I really like the saying: Don’t keep your all eggs in one basket. It is on my mind, especially now when I see so many changes around me and in the POD world. This is something I am more aware of now than a few years ago – and making changes based on it. IContinue reading “Keeping everything in one spot”
To blog or not to blog
I have tried lots of part-time avenues. And most of them were online and most of them were exhaustive and brought very little return. No matter what the influencer said and no matter what the gurus told. At the beginning of 2022, I even thought to myself that I am lucky to have a full-timeContinue reading “To blog or not to blog”

There was some success but quickly fizzled out or there is a success but not in a monetary sense. Being a blogger longer time ago was definitely easier.Continue reading “Why blogging is not the shiny thing”
Is blogging too lame for 2022?
So, 2021 is almost over and I have one question on my mind: Is blogging the answer to my goal? (I still want to retire early hahaha, dream on girl…) Anyways, I did try the Amazon route – unsuccessfully. Simply because I found out that I need to invest a lot more money than IContinue reading “Is blogging too lame for 2022?”
Success in 2022
This post is for my loyal followers and friend who stuck with me and kept on reading and following this. I think you know by now that I am writing it in a very honest manner. Yes, I am still not able to answer the question that resonates through most of my posts: “Is itContinue reading “Success in 2022”
Finding “the thing”
Does your business have to be your calling? Not necessarily – but I would argue, that it should be as close to it as possible. I know that many people are not sure what it is they actually want to do. I am not different. Sometimes I know exactly what it is and sometimes IContinue reading “Finding “the thing””
