Just a thought for today…
I know many of us are trying to build our reputation as writers, marketers, online business owners and experts. But we must realize that we can’t build our reputation on what we should be doing or what we plan to do. Our reputations are built on actions that we have already taken. Those actions are what we a judged by. However, we are also judged by what we say and sometimes we say too much! For instance we may tell folks what we are going to do, but then we don’t do it OR we tell them what they should do and we don’t do it ourselves. Now that is an action that we didn’t take that actually might hurt our reputation.

Wow, powerful little punch there, Gwen! Very true too. But hopefully we will learn by our mistakes and I hope we can also try to rectify those mistakes. Some people are not very forgiving though, it’s true. Thanks for this.
Enjoy the journey.

All too true, Gwen. We have to produce in order to get positive recognition.
I remember coming to an understanding one day about people who are successful – the difference between people who do things and people who don’t is that some people actually get up and do things. It sounds a bit trite, but at the time it was a major breakthrough for me.
Go well
