Blogging is a full time job and if you’re not highly motivated, you will find it very difficult because, it’s not easy at all. We all know that blogging cannot be everyone’s business and if everyone is to do it then, it will end up becoming a child’s play….. Don’t you agree with me?
So, it’s only meant for those who are seriously minded and those who are highly inspired. To be frank with you, I’m very proud to be a blogger and if there is one thing I’m always glad about, it’s the decision I made to become a blogger. I don’t know about you but, I will give up anything to remain a blogger.
Just like every other thing in life, the best way to succeed and last at anything you chose to do in life is first of all by loving it. If you’re doing a work that you’re so passionate about, do you know that you will be happy doing it even when you’re not getting paid. Compare this with a situation whereby you’re doing the work just for doing sake, just to fulfil all righteousness, even if they’re paying you a million dollar for that job, you will still not be happy and satisfied doing it. You will only be doing it just to ensure financial security.

This same thing applies to blogging. To be frank with you, I would have given up blogging a long time ago if not for the fact that I love it. Even when I wasn’t making a dime from it, I still persisted and I know this is the same case with most other successful bloggers out there, it’s all about being passionate about blogging if not, you won’t stick to it for long.
Why Is Blogging a Sweet Business?
Among all the reasons why I love blogging, the most of it all is because of freedom. One thing I love so much in this world is being free. I love doing my own things at the right time and not doing things because someone mandated me to do it.
I have a friend who has never celebrated Christmas with his family. It’s not because he does not want to but, his job will not permit him to do so. They only allow him to go home every 30th December and then resume work again on 3rd January. This might sound insane to you but it’s the truth and I also know a lot of people that faces similar challenges, some people even visits their family once every 3 years. They don’t like it that way though but, they have to keep on doing it if not, they won’t be able to put food on the table again.
This is never the kind of life I want to live. I want to live a life where I will be free from all those hassle, a life where I will decide when to work and when not to work, a life where I will decide to travel any time, anywhere knowing that it won’t affect my business nor my work.

Now, one of the best businesses that will guarantee you all these is blogging. It is one of the few businesses you can do anywhere once you have an internet connection. You can decide to travel to your village and stay as long as you wish provided you’re with your laptop and you have access to the internet. Now tell me, how many other businesses can you operate like that?
The best way to make money in life is being self independent and that is by becoming an entrepreneur. Being a business owner or an investor as described by Robert Kiyosaki in his best-selling book…… Rich Dad Poor Dad. Once you’ve created a business and also built a system that will enable your business to function better even without your presence then, you’re made.
In some family today, the kids don’t even know who their father is because he hardly spends time with them and this is as a result of his work.
If you wish to be independent in life, to be free from job security then, you will like to be an entrepreneur and being a blogger is one of them. Of cause, I will not only be a blogger but, I will create other businesses I will own via blogging.
Finally, I will like you to also tell me if you love blogging and why, let’s take the discussion further via the comment section. In my next post, I will interview other successful bloggers and share with you their own reasons for loving blogging.
Please, I will be glad if you will share this post with your friends as well….. Thanks for sharing in advance and happy new week.
BTW: I will like you to let me know what you think about the new theme, is it better than the formal one? Let me know if you have suggestions too.

Do I love Blogging? A big YES written in capital letters will be my answer. I don’t think I need to explain myself for the sort of things one has learnt and achieved through blogging is simply great.
If for nothing at all, I know how to be patient and stay calm when things aren’t going according to plan. I spent time at my village recently and I had no one to account as to when to return from the village or no deadlines to meet whiles at the village. The freedom blogging offers is simply far beyond measure.
That was a great post bro. Please do have a great week!

Hello Theodore,
You are 100% right. If we are giving our full time and dedication to our blog then its damn sure we’ll get success soon. Its really very important if you want to make money from blog. I want to share my friend’s story. He is a blogger and started this profession in 2010. After 3 month of blogging Google blessed him with $$$. But suddenly on day his blogs were hacked by Pakistani hackers and the bad luck he did not take any backup. His blogging business destroyed. Right now he has 2 blogs but giving less time to blogs now. So they are not generating huge income for him. But now he is making money from other freelancing sites like oDesk, Elance etc.

Hello Diana,
I’m pretty happy to have you here and yes, i agree with you. If we dedicate more time to blogging, success is inevitable. Oh no, such a sad story of your friend. Backing up our blogs is very necessary as we don’t know what might happen the next minute.
My blog was also hacked last year but because i had backup, it was easy for me to restore it back.
I’m sorry to hear that story and, I hope he is backing his current blogs up now?
Thanks for the visit Diana and hope to see you around again.
