Today we're going to look at how to never experience writer's block again. I know that sounds like a really big claim. As you know by now I do podcasts as well as blogging. I've been doing that for probably 10 years now. I have a bit of experience when it comes to blogging, and maybe I'm gifted. I doubt it very much, but there are always ideas rolling around in my head. For those of us whenever you experience a block. A writer's block, it can be very difficult as to what you need to write next. Sometimes it takes me 15 minutes to write good details in words, because it's just rolling, and rolling, but for those days where you just need a little bit of help to really give a rich, valuable content, you may want to adapt or adopt. 1. Mindset These are a few methodologies. I have here eight of them, and I'm hoping I'll cover them within the 20 minutes that we have allocated. I promise not to rush. I'll have to do it again or divide it into two sections, which I know you probably don't like, but we'll see how it goes. Okay so let's get talking. First, on the list, I have mindset. My thinking behind this is as you can imagine for someone like me who I have to produce a podcast every single week. If I want it to be successful I need to adopt a certain mindset. Even if I decide I want to blog even. That mindset is I have to get it done. I can not give up. I have to get it done. I started this journey, and I wouldn't stop until I die sort of a thing. It depends on where you are right now in your journey. We, women, have all sorts of things happening in our lives. Could be your children, or partners, or careers, whatever that may be, family situations, stress, all of that. It depends on where you are right now, and what goals you have written down. I guess what I'm trying to say is make sure you have set a goal. You start with the end in mind and say okay. Especially when it comes to mindset. This is what I want to achieve in two years, three years, five years, 10 years time. This is what I want to achieve. I set the goal. So say for example I said I want to have a podcast series with 200 shows in it. Yeah. Podcast with 200 posts, or 200 podcasts. Interchangeable these phrases, but you get what I mean. You set that goal. Altogether 200 podcasts, or say 500 podcasts. If I do the calculation with it being once a week, it will take me roughly 10 years to 500 podcasts. Now, that could be a very long time, but I need to pace myself in the very beginning and say I'm going to do it once a week. In order to increase that amount of time. Say five years I need to be doing podcasts twice a week, and I have to ask myself do I have time twice a week to do a podcast? Yeah. Within that goal setting you've developed this long-term strategy of where you want to be, and in six months time, 12 months time, 24 months time, etc. Make sure it's something that is sustainable. You can be talking about something that's a fad. Trying to think of a really good example. I don't want to say something that would actually not be a fad. Let's see. What was a fad a few years ago that is no longer in existence now? Maybe you could have written something like ... Oh, it just came to my mind, and it just totally went. That wraps every ... Of course all the photos. Something that's temporary. Something that you know that probably wouldn't be in existence for pretty long time to come. Like the hat for example. Vines. Those videos. If you want to write about Vines for a long time to come,
