Big Changes
So I have been around a lot of change over the last few weeks, in those few weeks I have been looking for a way to deal with it all.
Or instead, accept it and work out what to do with it, change happens all the time, and I've got better and working out how to harness the energy and indecision that comes with it.
It still affects me, but I can recognise the different types of emotions and energy coming towards me and either discard them or embrace them.
This time I stalled out for about a week and then I was able to get back on the horse, rather than whine. Of course, whining is way easier to do
I thought I'd tie up how I skipped whining and got into action in this post, change and uncertainty have been complete showstoppers for me in the past, now I am winning.
End Of An Era
The most significant change was the closing of @Work Hubs the coworking space I have worked at alongside my freelance practice for the last three years, but more on that later, the message here is what I did with the time.
Luckily the end of @Work Hubs coincided exactly with the fantastic weather we are having here in the UK and the start of the 90 Day challenge in Content Marketing Academy community of which I am a member.
We'll start with the 90 Day Challenge, the goal is to commit to producing a consistent amount of content every week for 90 days, this could be a post every day or a podcast every week, but you have to keep up the delivery.
Every week there is a group call where Chris from the CMA gives feedback on how the group are doing.
My first one was a car crash, my second one better and this one I am going to break through the sound barrier.
I produce a lot of content but keeping going all the time is a massive challenge for me, it is also what we talk about in London Bloggers Meet Up and Write Club most of the time.
I mean, how hard can it be? Open a google doc and write something and put it online.
Ever since I published my first blog in 2006 on Blogger I have had this wild fantasy of posting a lot of content; I love it, I mean I LOVE it.
I am crap at writing for other people, but I am great at their strategy, story and making connections between posts and projects.
BTW this is my favourite blog post ever; it is about when I cut the top off of my finger at a restaurant.

Then I got the video below from Jeff in an email; I signed up for Jeff's Google Analytics course when it came through as a deal on App Sumo.
I have never known where to look for how to get the most out of Google Analytics.
I've been following Avinash's blog since 2009 and get it, but I have would never dare claim about what to do with it.
Which, when you have chosen a path based around making content to make websites rock you kind of need to have a more profound grasp.
Jeff’s analytics course is easing me through the Google beast, don’t ask me anything yet I am still getting a grip on it!
