You're sick of writing blogs.
Sick! Sick! Sick!
If you never had to write another blog it would be too soon.
I get it.
Everyone who's trying to run a business gets it.
You're running around like a maniac taking care of all your other business needs. You're pulling out your hair. You're cussing yourself for having the audacity to think you could be successful at this thing you had your heart set on.
What a disastrous idea.
How dare you.
Am I right? I mean.... who hasn't had those thoughts and feelings? No business owner I know of.
Hey – Don't be too hard on yourself. Your feelings are normal.
But...
Trying to accomplish your never-ending list of things to do each day is taking a toll. Writing blogs for your business is the last thing you want to do. It feels like a yucky, time-consuming, and mind-numbing chore.
You're starting to resent the business and everything that goes along with it because you absolutely hate the chore of writing.
Yet...
You also know blogs are a necessary tool for the success of your business.
Rest assured – all your mixed emotions and frustrations over the chore of writing make sense.
Really, they do.
After all, you didn't start your business just to end up handcuffed to a computer trying to puke out blog after nauseating blog – tied to a beast you can't run away from.
You started your business to feed your soul and share your passion with others.
And when you're stuck at a computer trying to jam out blogs each week, you're not fulfilling your ambitions.
That's not a healthy or beneficial role for you when trying to build your business.
As mentioned before, you know that blogs are a crucial ingredient for your business to thrive. So then why, for the love of God, do you feel like it's such a chore to write your blog?
It all boils down to a couple of obvious, yet irritating thorns. And once you remove those thorns, you'll feel so much better.
Two Reasons Behind Your Blog Chore Frustrations
Two major obstacles are contributing to your blog writing setbacks.
You already know what they are.
Deep down...you know.
So let's get to it.
1. Writing blogs is not your business goal.
We already touched on this one. Writing blogs is not your business goal – it's mine.
You didn't start your business just to sit around and write blogs all day.
You took the time, energy, money, and sacrifices to start a different kind of business.
One that lights your fire.
It's your passion.
It's that "thing" that gets you pole-vaulting out of bed every morning. It's the backup chorus line as you sing the tunes of a successful entrepreneur.
When you're performing tasks that feel burdensome, awkward, and heavy, running your business isn't much fun anymore.
This is one of the major reasons why writing your blog feels like such a chore. You're not using your time to create a business you love. You're using your time to muddle through your blog tasks that could – and should – be handled by someone else.
The result?
You fall behind.
You dread the day.
You start thinking about quitting.
That's not good for you or your business.
2. Blog chores take a lot of time.
As good ol' Ben Franklin said, "Time is money."
You're no different than all the other struggling business owners. You don't have extra time to spare – and you can't afford to waste time.
It takes a lot of time to find interesting topics to write about.
It takes a lot of time to write your blog.
It takes a lot of time to proofread and edit your blog.
It takes a lot of time to capture the perfect images to include in your blog.
All of this time needed for your blogs takes you away from what you'd rather be doing.
The chore of writing steals your joy.
Yet, if you're not consistent with your blog production, there's a good chance your website appears stale to the search engines.
Your website becomes stinky and stagnant.
It's shriveled up and turning to dust.
All that's left now is to wait for the buzzards to carry your site to the vast black hole of the Internet graveyard – to be discarded and forgotten like Great Aunt Martha's month-old fruit cake.
Nobody wants a nasty old fruit cake.
Feeling Stuck in Your Time Schedule
It's pretty common for business owners to abandon their blogs as a way to eke out the time they need to run their businesses.
It starts innocently enough.
The first time you skip a blog post, it's not so bad. You tell yourself you'll do it later. You justify this avoidance by coming up with more urgent matters of your business to tend to.
The next time you skip writing your blog, the avoidance becomes easier. Pretty soon, you're not even touching your website.
You've found freedom.
Truth be told – you're silently celebrating the pure joy of not writing.
However, ditching your blog chore comes at a cost.
But you already know what that cost is.
Deep down...you know.
You stop building relationships through your blogs.
You lose emotional connections with your customers.
You lose business.
If you're not touching your website, why should your customers use it?
So, how can you stay fresh, relevant, and connected with your customers without selling your soul to the blog goblin?
Your answer is found in three effortless words revealed below.

Over time, the demands of running your business catch up with you. You have everyday tasks to complete. You have a company to run. Before long, you start robbing Peter to pay Paul to squeeze out more time.
You're running yourself thin.
Regardless of the type of business you manage, there comes a point where you start thinking:
