I have a serious problem, and I’m sure a lot of you can relate.  I have too many ideas and I try to do too many at a time.  I used to think “I have too many ideas and not enough time,” but I was going about it the wrong way.  There’s no use in whining about our limited time, so I changed my tone.  The real problem isn’t that I don’t have enough time, or even that I have so many ideas – it’s that I try to do them all at once.

Since I’ve started blogging, I’ve seen the potential to build up a piece of online real estate (yes, a fancy word for a simple blog) into a platform to explode your idea into something awesome.  I’m sure you can relate to the thrill of watching your subscribers, AdSense, or visitors reach record levels – it’s exciting!

I hate feeling stupid.  It drives me absolutely up the wall when I can’t figure out how to put the proper coding into my website for example.  I feel so lost when I don’t understand what all my fellow online friends are talking about when they speak in acronyms.  You know like, “What’s your CMS?”  Huh?  You want some Cold Meat Salami?  Let me go check the fridgerator, be right back.

Of course the coder isn’t asking me for my salami.  That’s just silly, unless he was a she, then maybe it might make more sense and be more acceptable.  Whuh? He’s asking about what my Content Management System is.  Ahhhhhhhhhhh, OK!  Still, what the hell is that?  I just use WordPress for my blog.  Ain’t that good enough?  Why speak in code?  I feel dumb.
