			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here we are a month into the launch of this site and about four months since I launched my other site.  I am wondering if I should take a holiday break and start fresh in the new year, continue to push through even through I am not giving this, and therefore my you, the attention you deserve.  Or, should I close up shop and just continue working site design and admin support on my other site (I do not contribute content for the other blog)?  I am lucky enough to have been able to see continuous visitors despite my lack of posts lately, but I doubt that will (or should) continue.  I know that to have a successful blog takes persistence.  I must admit that having a 8 month old and full time job doesn&#8217;t make this blog the easiest of endeavors.  Maybe I need to approach this decision with the end/goal in mind:</p>
<blockquote><p>My  goal is to identify, through experimentation and learning from other&#8217;s experiences, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">repeatable</span> steps to a successful <em>and</em> profitable blog so that I can start other blogs/websites that deal more directly with my passions (such as helping other become successful). </p></blockquote>
<p>If this is truely my goal, I guess the answer is to push onward.  How can I ever hope to leave my fulltime job and do something I am passionate about if I am not working towards that goal.  I cannot just expect someone to hand over a successful blog with all of the steps, tips and secrets that made it so.  Hmmm&#8230;I guess you&#8217;re not rid of me yet!  <img src='http://www.ABloggersLog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   ABloggersLog.com lives to blog another day&#8230;or something like that.  Thoughts?  Please share them.</p>
<p>Happy Blogging!</p>
<p>Don</p>
