100 Posts Milestone: Status Update and What’s Next

Time flies, dear reader. If that ain’t true!

It was almost a year ago that I published a similar post announcing the 50th post on this blog.

Today, it’s another milestone, with the publication of the 100th post!

During this time period I have consistently been publishing at least one post per week here at the Wealth Triumph blog.

However, if you have been a regular follower, you might have noticed that the posting schedule has been a bit erratic.

While initially the schedule was strict with a new article coming each Monday, after a while I came to publish posts later during the week too.

On top of that, most of the recent posts have been quite shorter and not that deep as the ones I used to publish at the early days of the blog.

Overall, my time commitment dropped substantially and that was manifested in the ways described above.

Well, why did that happen, Ilias?

There was good reason.

The hard truth is that the blog became less of a priority as I became more involved with my businesses.

Especially as I launched my new digital publishing business (which is growing really fast) and I had to juggle multiple projects and tasks, writing for the blog became an afterthought.

Remember, the WT blog is not how I make my money.

The way I do is by building scalable businesses and, for better or worse, building one demands extreme focus and discipline.

Having said that, during this time I wrote some very helpful articles, worthwhile of your time.

The majority of them revolved around starting a new company in this new era where technology is disrupting every industry under the sun.

Here are some that are highly recommended:

• Finding Opportunities in the Modern Business World
• This is How you Start a Business in the New Era
• How to Bootstrap your Startup Like a Boss
• 10 Invaluable Tips for Starting a Brand New Business

Additionally, I published several “technical” articles where I explained key aspects of starting, running and growing a company. You don’t want to miss these:

• Revenue is Vanity. Profit is Sanity. Cash is Reality.
• What is Business Efficiency and Why it is a Matter of Life and Death for your Company
• Cost of Capital: Cash vs. Debt vs. Equity
• Ideas, Concepts and this weird thing called Revenue
• 3 Business Model Attributes that Could Make your Startup Struggle
• Why Cash Conversion Cycle Matters for Your Business

Furthermore, I published a few articles that were less conventional, yet quite impactful. Here are some that I am sure you are going to enjoy:

• I got lucky…
• 20 Thoughts on NOT Wasting your 20s
• How to Structure your Life to Kick Ass Every Day
• You are Taught to be Poor
• How to Get Rich in 4 Easy Steps

The reason I continued to write at least one piece per week despite my heavy schedule is that I wanted to be consistent with what I preach.

Remember that in my 50th post milestone post I touted the merits of being disciplined and committed.

It would be incongruent for me to suddenly stop writing without reaching at least the next milestone and providing an update to my readers.

So, where does this leave me with the blog?

Well, it’s with a heavy heart that I have decided to further decrease the time that I put into growing this blog.

At this point in time, the opportunity cost of not allocating all my resources (time, energy, focus, capital) on scaling my publishing business is just too huge.

The rational approach is to scale the business now, reap the financial and other rewards from it, and then later revisit my dual mission of spreading the entrepreneurial spirit and building my personal brand.

This means that the commitment of having one new piece per week is indefinitely halted until I am at a better position time-wise.

Having said that, I like writing and sharing business advice, so I will probably stir towards short-form content which I am going to share at a more loose schedule.

If you want to stay tuned with that, then the best avenues are LinkedIn (connect with me here) and Twitter (follow me here).

I have already shared some solid posts on LinkedIn that have gained traction within the platform. Check them out:

• Jeff Bezos Customer Obsession
• Zuckerberg CEO Bitch Card
• Starting a multi-Billion company with $1,000

So, that would be all for now. Thank you so much for your support! We will be in touch!
