You Need To Inch Your Way Toward A Massive Shift In Mindset
Tiny steps got me to this major Medium milestone
On April 25, I will have published on Medium for exactly one year.
A year of writing inspirational stories, productivity stories, entrepreneurship stories, parenting stories, and boring stories. 134 stories in all, or an average of 2–3 stories per week. Writing flowing like a river between the bedrocks of a thriving consulting practice, a husband, a dog, two young kids, a passion for fiction reading, and travel both for work and pleasure.
I write because I love it. Because I love words, and I love the connection that writing on Medium has provided me. It has been fulfilling in ways that I could never have anticipated when I started. Also, terrifying, disappointing, boring, and exhilarating. Like anything truly worth doing.
After a year, I don’t have the most followers on Medium, nor do I have the least. 6.3K as I write this. I average somewhere between 50K views and 75K views per month. The number fluctuates depending on the frequency and quality of my writing, and the luck of curation and distribution. It would be great to grow this. But, like everything else in life, you have to pick and choose your priorities. And in this season of my life, my family and my clients are important…
