Dreaming vs. Doing: A Lesson in Volition

April 7, 2015 By ARMOURELLE

Dreaming vs. Doing: A Lesson. | ARMOURELLE.com

I’ve been feeling blocked in my side hustle. As y’all know, I’m a writer and in addition to my day job, I freelance on the side. I love words, and the writing I craft in my spare time is much different from the writing I deliver (if any) for my 9-to-5 projects.

I thought enrolling in an online business course would help me get over the hump of inaction. I’ve been stuck at the second module that gives strategies to build an audience of loyal readers and future clients. Part of the ‘homework’ for that module was blogger outreach. I was supposed to get in touch with bloggers  to ask them their advice and to pitch them to guest post.

Thug Motivation 101: Just Start. Again.

January 15, 2015 By ARMOURELLE

Just-Start-Again-Flow

So I’m writing this as an addendum to Just Start. It’s the middle of January, which is the time when we start moonwalking back into our same ol’ routines after promising big things for the new year. We start projects and we stall on them three weeks later, even if we’ve got the best intentions. Taking action on something doesn’t mean it will get completed, or even pass the napkin-planning stage. So what do you do when you’re ready to ‘show up and show out,’ but you can’t find the Muse or the motivation to start again?
