You may not notice the things that are holding you back from being a great blogger and you would be quiet surprised as to what they are!

Misconception #7: You Need To Have A Narrowed Down Niche

Think of your blog like yourself, are you just one thing? NO! So why should your blog be? We can like many things such as sports, photography, writing, reading, beauty or fashion all at once so why can’t our blog be like that? Now for some bloggers it may be a bit more important to stay true to the niche, but at the end of the day write what you would like to write about and your readers will read it. Pick a niche for your blog but don’t feel restricted, weekly or monthly it is okay to have a post out of the niche range.

SUCCESS: you need to establish the demographic of your target audience.  Therefore, as long as you are creating and posting content that will interest your intended audience, you will succeed as a blogger or entrepreneur. Remember that the niche does not define you!

There comes a time in your life where you are extremely driven, you know exactly what you want and what you have to do in order to get to that goal. Dreams and goals go together perfectly; you will have something that you always dreamed of, and a goal which you want to reach. Both are attainable, if you want it bad enough.
