I'm new to the whole scene. There are millions of blogs, probably tens or hundreds of thousands of great blogs, yet, I want to make it to the top. To the 1% top. I first thought it's impossible. Now I just think it's a lot of work. I no longer look at it as impossible, just not likely, because I just can't be sure I'll be able to do all that much work. However, the 1% seems no longer so far. Thanks for the post. It's just a question of attitude and work, usually. It’s the same for me with blogging. I’m new to the whole scene.

I agree wholeheartedly with the idea here – as long as you have a safety net when you fall, the odds of success should be the furthest thing from your mind. Instead, chase the dream.
