Running your blog as a business and the goals and motivations behind your blog with Ashton Smith
EPISODE 37: SHOW NOTES
Why are you blogging? What is your motivation behind it? What goals do you have? Do you think of it as a business? Ashton Smith, founder of My Awakening Co and our business coach, is here today sharing more about the mindset behind your blog as a business, focusing on our goals, remembering the why behind our business (and remembering that can change over time), and paying attention to our own motivations and what we want.
She shares advice with us on being aware while building our business, following our passion, growing our business, being honest with ourselves about what we want along the way, and how she sets boundaries for her time in her business.
She shares so much in this episode and we hope that you walk away encouraged and inspired when thinking about the motivations behind your blog.
At the end of the day, we have to remember why we built this blog to begin with. If it’s as a hobby, that is fine. Build it as a hobby. If you have your blog as a business, that is also fine. Build that business! Remember why you started in the first place and then allow yourself to build what you are desiring.
