Blogging for Success

By Deb Marks

I have started a writing course that will lead to me publishing my novels. It’s an interesting method developed by a ex AFL/VFL footy player, a self described non-reading, barely literate man who has walked through all that, to be the published author of eight books.

I had reservations at first. He has broken the course into modules which seem deceptively simple. What he has done is to send out a message about being determined and focused.  

There are many affirmations that one needs to view daily.

Andrew Jobling played seniors football for St Kilda, it was a brutal time in his life being a footballer, they were denigrated and abused on a daily basis, there was no such thing as rest and repair – it was all abuse and get back on the horse boy. 

He has grown and changed and in many ways is using the opposite training, if you like, to get people out there and published.

What a challenge, to be kind to yourself and use positive self-talk, to gain enough confidence to meet your heart’s desire.

I would like to propose that we all take a few minutes a day to have a vision board to look at how we want to live our lives, how we wish to view ourselves.

Take a photo of your vision board and take it with you as you get around each day and look at as a set of goals that will enrich your life.

Cheers Deb
