That's me, riding my dog in the photo over there. I do shit like that sometimes. Maybe you didn't know that, so let me explain. For the past 16 months that I've been blogging here, I have to tell you I've never been fully satisfied with the "voice" I've created for myself. By that, I mean the personality I've conveyed through my words.
Over the past few years, I've talked and worked with lot of smart, talented and motivated entrepreneurs-in-the-making who all get hung up on some variation of the same issue. The problem is usually described like this: "I can't decide what my business should be about. Every topic is already covered by someone else. How can I create something real and unique and not derivative?"
The journey from newcomer to successful blogger isn't always easy to track. Wouldn't it be great if there were some milestones you could follow to figure out if you're on the right path? From my experience and from watching other people become successful online, I pulled together 20 milestones that might mark the journey of a typical a-list blogger in-the-making.
