You May Have Already Done the Work That Catapults Your Career
Good things come from consistency and patience
On Monday, March 25th, 2019, I sat down at my computer, took a deep breath, and finally hit publish on an article I thought had the potential to fly.
I’d spent close to two weeks writing it.
I must have asked a dozen people for feedback.
When I went to look at my stats, the following morning, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The article was airborne. It wasn’t going viral or anything. But compared to my previous posts, it was off to a good start.
The next day, the views were still pointing in a positive direction.
The third day, the same — up, up, up.
By the end of the week, the article hit 5,000 views. By the looks of its trajectory, it wasn’t about to slow down. But just as quickly as my hopes began to rise, the views began to fall.
24 hours later, the article flat-lined.
Dead.
Six months later though, on September 9th, I checked my stats page and I couldn’t believe it — the very same article I’d forgotten about had a pulse.
It hadn’t exactly jumped out of bed and put on her dancing shoes, but it was alive.
