With almost every possible blogging posts topic already used I figured I would bust out with perhaps the most important one of them all-
What Do YOU Really Want from Blogging ?
Every since I started blogging I was often confused as I watched bloggers, they wanted friends but weren’t to friendly, they wanted money but done the exact things that kept them Broke.
Bloggers seem to like the long drawn out approach I think with the properly VISUALization you yes YOU can bypass all that.
I am a FIRM Believer that nothing is ever going to happen UNLESS you see it. Do you think I became the sexiest and Coolest Community manager on the Planet by accident ? No I had to see myself in that role.
Let’s look at some of the things I wanted to get from blogging and we will see how well I have done and WHY I am really telling You this.
I wanted to make money like everyone and took every possible path to make that NOT happen. I wanted to make some real REAL close friendships, I will say I know a lot of people but not many to close and I will put the blame for that on BOTH parts.
The bottom line is I can see where I was the one who was at fault for not reaching my goals mainly because I wasn’t to sure what my goals actually were so what was the Real chance of them happening ? ZERO
Only by looking at our weaknesses and where we made mistakes will we get stronger and hopefully back on course to achieving our objectives.
A blogger will Focus is Dangerous- With the majority of bloggers not having any clear direction on their goals and wasting their time beating the Blogging routine to death, YOU could Today take some time and a piece of paper and write down all your goals and dreams. I would also take some time to try to feel is that is what you really want, by having a direction and FOCUS you will accomplish your goals.
In reality it’s very EASY to stand out in blogging and I think most bloggers love to assist someone to get to their destination, so maybe the only part missing is the Clarity of YOUR VISION.
What I want to do is keep working to make the Blogging Community better that takes money as the resources of a site getting constant traffic is way different then a blog.I really love people so this is perfect for me and I can SEE Myself in this role, helping new bloggers which I always loved and meeting new people which is always NICE 
But there are many other things I would LIKE to do but right now because I don’t see them, they won’t happen and that is the challenge to see it
Once you SEE IT the rest is CAKE
Blogger be honest do you need to work on your vision ?
The only one holding You back is YOU
Please share what it is you REALLY want from Blogging ? Thanks

Very nice man… if you can see it, you can do/have it.
Once you got that, then you need to work it hard each day, keep the horse blinders on and work.
you are right John, the only thing holding a person back is their own damnself!
I see that a lot too… people ask me for advice on link building, or site structure or whatever, yet they don’t want to do the work! I don’t get that. Either you have the drive, or you don’t.. the rest is crap!
good stuff as always man,

Hey John,
Hard question for most people. Or wait – easy question to say a quick answer to, but harder to come up with a good one. The easy answer could be money, but money is just currency, just a means to an end. So the harder question is, what do you want to do with that money?
Freedom. Sense of independence. Sense of accomplishment. More vacations. Better vacations. A new car. A bigger house.
Once people start really figuring out where they want to go in life, these things shake out. But you’re right that we need focus and we need to start with the end in mind. It’s the only way to get there.

Great point John! I’ve always been a firm believer that you have to know what you want to get what you want.
I set out a plan and I am working towards my goal of having a blog in my chosen niche and being the authority on it. So far I am doing okay and others in the blogging community are visiting, I’m making friends and taking note of what experienced bloggers have to teach me.
Holding onto the dream and working hard to get there.

I’m a firm believer in having a clear vision, and a roadmap to making that vision, that dream, become a reality. My background is in the education and care sector here in the UK and that is one of the things I like about blogging, it allows me to help people, hopefully educate a few here and there, so they can do something useful for themselves with that knowledge. If I make some friends a long the way then that is just an added bonus.
Regards,
Karl

It is a fact that some bloggers are really confused as to their objective, and so when challenges come they are easily defeated. I do believe that if we have clear reason for blogging we will be on the right path.
This post have made me think and reflect.
