Hello, today I bring you an interview from DTAMP (Doulbe To A Million Plan) you can check his fantastic blog here: DTAMP
1.Why Did You Start Your Blog?
The
main purpose of the Blog was to keep track of the progress of the
Double to a Million Plan. In addition it was a way to communicate that progress
to other Doublers. We could see how each person was doing and it
helped to inspire one another to keep going. As time progressed I found the
Blog was a great outlet for being creative, with writing, graphic
artworks and other artistic expressions. The Blog also began bringing
in
additional
funds to help the project grow through advertising and various
financial sources which I had hoped for when starting it.
2.Did You See Yourself Getting To Where You are Now?
I
had hoped I would be much further along than I presently am but when I
first started it was difficult to visualize myself getting this far. The
"How To Double Your Way To A Million in 28 Steps" report suggests
looking at getting to Million in bite-sized steps. As you progress
through the
28 steps, at first you find it difficult to focus just on the step you
are on, especially when that step only requires finding or gaining a few cents.
Your mind wanders to many steps ahead. Staying focused on the moment
and on the step you are on requires retraining your mind. Each time you
look ahead you need pull yourself back to what you are working on.
Discipline is the key to staying in the present step and accomplishing
the present goal. After a while it comes naturally to stay focused and to not even think about the future steps.
3.Did You Know That The Stock Market Would Be Such A Big Source of Income?
Before
the Double To A Million Plan I had traded equities so I knew there was a
potential there to use it as a tool to reach the million dollars. But
I have found that trading stocks has cost DTAMP almost as much as it
has made. It has great potential for good gains but also there are huge risks
and usually those risks will get you sooner or later resulting in
significant loses. Trading equities is a hard and volatile way to work
the Double To A Million Plan. The stress is greater and the mistakes are easier to make.
4.I Was Amazed At How Many People Donate To Your Fund, Why Do You Think So Many Do?
It
is amazing how much help I have received from some very generous
friends towards DTAMP. There are some generous people out there that, I
think, genuinely
want me to succeed and as a result help as they are able. I think
people want to encourage someone that struggles their way up from the bottom,
with a plan, and climbs toward a goal despite the setbacks that come.
Through the Blog others are able to see my victories and defeats and I
think they can identify with the struggle of one person to reach the
final set goal. Of course no one can make it alone and the helping hand
of
others
not only helps toward that success but makes each person that helped
part of that success and therefore a success themselves.
5.Do You Have Any Tips For Any Potential Start up Bloggers?
I
do not know much about professional blogging but for the average person
I would suggest you start a blog about something you have a strong interest
about, something that you are inspired about. To be able to keep the
blog going you will need to really love the topic or interest of your blog.
Use the blog to express your creativity in various ways, for me this
helps me to keep producing the next post. More than likely you will need to
be a person who enjoys writing, but even if you enjoy it, set up your
blog to be able to enter posts easily and to manage the blog quickly as well.
If you have to put a lot of work into it constantly to maintain things
that can drain time and energy and cause you to avoid updating the blog.
6.Anything Else You Would Like To Add?
Thank you for the interview and I wish you success on your Blog.
