CML is my main site, and gets most of my attention. The others I manage get updated much less frequently, and as a result have less quality content, lower traffic, and earn less money. But I keep them going! One of the big road blocks in this case was the time issue. I simply can't add new projects right now. Miss M: It’s a struggle!

I've let another die off, I didn't have the time to devote to it and it wasn't as aligned with my personal goals. Sometimes the weakness can be a personal one like lack of time to make it a success.

Spreading myself too thin is one of my biggest weaknesses, I'm constantly having to ask myself if I need to refocus on my core projects. Plus now that you're having a kid, there will soon be less of your time to spread around :) nice analysis.

Think about how complicated things are now, then imagine they would be infinitely worse if you didn't do as much planning!

The analysis is the same, the investment is usually more, and often times people still don't do a SWOT analysis. I don't get it :/ I feel like I am back in school... all of this business plan writing and analysis. Neighborhood council meetings. Zoning board meetings. Ugh.
