I plan on beating the bottleneck by adding more tools to my blog. Tools that people have to come to my site to use. I am not quite yet ready to have guest bloggers.

I've been thinking a lot about this too. Imagine a print magazine with only one writer - there may be one, but we've probably never heard of it because it would be nearly impossible to grow it large enough. Great magazines manage to keep their message and brand consistent, despite having a staff of hundreds or thousands. I'm definitely looking forward to following your blog and learning more about you idea and how things progress with this blog and 14 other sites - 14! That's amazing!

I did not know that, Anke, I knew you were a busy man but that many websites. Wow. One thing about the Persians is that they were ultimately defeated in the end, not at the "gates" but at the end of the war. It is a great battle to study. There is another book, The Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield I believe, on the very same subject. When I read it, the one concept that appealed to me the most was not the fact 300 fighters killed millions of "Persians" (who were really a conglomerate of various armies the original army conquered and assimiliated into their own army). It was the fact the mothers of Sparta will always produce more generations of fighters who would ultimately be raised to continue the tradition their 300 fathers died fighting for. It does present an interesting question about the bottleneck, you can find a little known goat path to get pass the bottleneck and emerge victorious for the time being. But at what cost? In the end, the mothers of Sparta continued to breed and raise future generations of fighters who ultimately drove the Persian out. Not right away, but in the end when the Persians realized they simply fell apart for their own good. GREAT post, Anke! I always enjoy your insights and look forward to hearing about how you diffuse your bottleneck along with managing 14 websites. It will be interesting to see where the goat path is, is it found within this website or in one of your 14 websites? 14 Websites?

For other projects that I can't abandon, I'm outsourcing... that's hard for a control freak. If only I could find the hidden goat path.

I have to agree that hte bottleneck is me, but I think I need to look deeper than that. Do I have too manyprojects? Do I stop short with strategies because I get distracted? Am I too motivated to try and earn income that I forget the basics of my readers & traffic? Great questions! These are great thoughts.
