You are incredibly accurate Gary. Blogging is about consistency and effort over time. The bloggers that succeed are those that stick with it over the long run. I’ve had lots of clients who want advice to become the next big thing.. and when they realize it doesn’t happen over night they get frustrated and stop. Blogging is work just like everything else! The make money “schemers” should be suppressed for the good of blogging in my personal opinion.

I don’t think any of us capture all of these qualities perfectly, but realizing there’s always room for improvement is half the battle. Thanks Josh!

Great post. Being able to stick with things is an important trait. Anyone can be blistering hot as a blogger for 3 months, but it is only over the course of a year that one builds a reputation for consistency, insight, and reliability. Time winnows the players from the true heroes. The same goes with blogging :-)

Totally agree about the thick skin, people can be pretty cruel via the anonymity of a blog comment. Generally you can have 100s of positive comments but it is that one negative that hurts the longest….. blog because you enjoy it, I say !

I agree – sticking with it can be tough when dedicating yourself to blog daily.

I blog for both business and pleasure and must say that in addition to sticking with it, patience is another one of those qualities needed – especially when striving to reach a goal, whether it be to build readership, increase your profile as an expert in you niche, or (from the business person’s point of view) to make money.

Blogging is about the conversation with those willing to engage – it’s about the pursuit of knowledge as a collective entity.

I need to become better at sticking with things for a long time. I think I’m getting better at it. Although of course, such a personality can be a double-edged sword (I think that’s the right metaphor) – like, when you try to give up cakes and alcoholism and cigarettes.

I can think of jolly excellent bloggers who happen to fail at one or two of these areas, which is frustrating but their success when it comes to other aspects kind of makes up for it to a degree. Jack of all trades, master of none, and all that.
