The great thing about being persistent is becoming successful. When you have succeeded and become successful in spite opposition the feeling is really great.

When I just started out making websites, professional site builders would look down on me as a “noob” and “unprofessional”. In fact, this was the truth, I was unprofessional compared to them. This would normally discourage me, making me feel unwanted in the blogging world. Giving up would get me nowhere, so I had to be persistent if I wanted to be a successful blogger and make my name in the blogging world.

Being Persistent means that despite of opposition and discouragement you are willing to persevere. Not willing to give up. I certainly didn’t give up. I wanted to be in the blogging world.

    Thanks for a great post Kharim. After too many years of “allowing” myself four to five hours of sleep every night I now make sure to get at least six and usually seven hours and I feel much better.

    So I guess persistence and consistency always pays off and we could achieved everything/anything we want.

    To build a following, you have to put out great content consistently. To make money, you have make the right decisions and consistently be willing to learn. And many people aren’t consistent with it because they just do’t have that persistent trait. They don’t give it their all … through good and bad times.I could have given up last year for sure, but persistence and determination helped me get to where I am right now. And it’ll get me to where I plan on reaching.
    Thanks For Blog

      Hello Andrew,

      You are very much right about that. In order to become a better blogger then we have to keep on blogging. Consistency is a must and this require that we set time aside to do such things.

    Persistence; I think I have shown great persistence, as I recently hit seven years on the blog I’m highlighting here and 10 years on my business blog. I won’t say that I have had all that much success when it comes to making money from my blog, but I have had a heck of a good time writing on those blogs and my other blogs and I have made some money here and there. Still, without persistence I couldn’t have written so much for so long.

      That’s the spirit pal. Once you enjoy what you are doing then basically nothing else matters.

      As for me and this blog I have reached 5 years in blogging on it. I must say that it was a bumpy journey but I did it.

      Thanks for the comment and keep on blogging pal.
