An Honest Review of Blog With a Full Time Job

A few months ago, I purchased Blog With a Full Time Job by Natalie Bacon. I had been following Natalie for a few months and was so exciting about her new course, I got it just two days after she launched it.

Time management is a struggle for me, so the title and purpose of the course was what made me interested in the course along with the course being unlike other blogging courses.

Blog With a Full Time Job changed the way I look at and approach blogging. It also helped me with having the right mindset, productivity, and time management for blogging. I’ve purchased a lot of blogging courses, and this one was like no other.

Grammarly Review

Being a blogger and having perfectionism is a nightmare. There’s no one there to tell you what to get done or tell you it’s “good enough” or when to get it done. The only deadlines are self-imposed.

Thankfully, I have Grammarly. This writing tool has helped me so much with not just blogging, but dealing with and overcoming my perfectionism.

If you go check out my about me, you probably wouldn’t believe that writing that first post took me two years to write and finish.

Today, this is the 6th article I’ve written this week. I already wrote one earlier, and I’ve written one article for the past four days. And all articles have been over 1,000 words. Old me would be shocked and proud.

Grammarly is a must-have for every blogger. It saves me so much time and energy, especially with perfectionism.

Here’s what I love about Grammarly and how it’s helped me.

Why I Named My Blog ReachingSelf

The one question all bloggers face is what they should name their blog. For some, coming up with a name is quick and easy and for others, not so much. But for most, the name means and can say a lot, myself included. I wanted to share why I named my blog ReachingSelf.

  • Anyone can become great, but not many will.
  • There are people who say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and then there are people that state that that’s not true - you can experience traumatization, ptsd, etc. ⠀ The truth is that it depends. ⠀ It’s entirely based on how the person takes it. ⠀ A set of studies looked at people that suffered serious adversity and survived. They found three different types of people - those that were permanently dispirited, those who went back to normal, and those who used experience to make them stronger. ⠀ What this tells us is that you can make what happens to you to happen for you if you let it. You can make what doesn’t kill you make you stronger, but you can also have it do nothing for you or you can let it make you weaker. It not just about the cards you were dealt with, it’s about what you do with them. ⠀ What doesn’t kill doesn’t just automatically make you stronger just because you survived. But it can. Whether it does or it doesn’t lies on you.
  • Just keep going. Keep moving forward. Keep climbing. Never stop. You will get to where you believe you’ll be. 🧗🏻‍♀️
  • If you could choose to have one superpower, what would it be? ⠀ It’s an easy answer for me. A learning superpower. I’m not too sure what the specifics would be, but you could get crazy with it. ⠀ Think about it: If you could learn anything, you could do pretty much anything most people desire to do. ⠀ You could learn how to make money, you could learn how to be popular, make friends and find love. ⠀ You could learn to develop discipline and take action to achieve anything you want. ⠀ You could learn about the body and health to become super strong, healthy and fit. ⠀ You could learn how to build machines and technology that would make you be able to do pretty much anything a super hero could do. ⠀ You could learn the solution to a major world problem. ⠀ Instead of saving people from one big bad villain, you’d be saving people from problems that affect millions like cancer and poverty. ⠀ The crazy thing is that this power is available to us. Sure it’s not a super power in which we’re able to just scan a whole bookshelf and absorb all the information or be able to learn a superhuman speed. But we do have the power to learn nearly anything. Many of us just never use it because we’re too busy working hard. Or we think that the people that accomplish these great feats are just super geniuses. The only difference is that they are constant learners. They know the power and value of learning and education. ⠀ Learning is so underrated. All this talk of hustle and grind and working hard is prevalent all over social media. This is a bit silly to me when we could be working smarter instead of harder. This is the value of learning and education. ⠀ It allows us to accomplish things faster and better and not only that, it allows us to grow and advance rather than continue to stagnate with outdated and limited knowledge. Knowledge is becoming more valuable than money. Education and learning are what can make us become great and attain power in our lives.
