Thanks for the comment Jeff. You're right – it's probably the biggestvariable as some people see success in what seems like overnight whileothers can toil away for years without any breakthroughs. I think youhave to set some goals that you'd like to reach based on your effortsin a set period of time and then measure from that. It can beanything you think is valuable – get 100 RSS subscribers, talk at aseminar, get published or quoted in another publication (online oroff), etc. Setting these milestones can give you a road map and somepositive reinforcement along the way.Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Nick. I agree. Putting it all together consistently is a key part as well. Once people know what to expect from you they become regular participants in the discussion and help you spread your message – which is all part of the equation.Thanks for the comment and great to see you at BlogWorld as always!

Morgan, great post on personal branding. Commitment is a word that doesn't get mentioned enough, yet without a commitment to your brand, no one will take you seriously and you wont' be successful. Good luck at your seminar.

Commitment is such a tough variable. 2 months? 10 years? No doubt: the longer, the better.
