    1. Customers in general right now. That have been explained the rules and don't think it should apply to them.

    2. Said customers!

    3. Not sold them the product in the first place. Some customers just cannot be pleased.

    I like this style of thinking. If you step back and take a moment to figure out what your issue is, you can easily turn it around by finding a solution.

    1. The lack of hours in a day combined with the amount of stuff I have to do.

    2. Poor time-keeping/scheduling.

    3. Use my time better, set a proper schedule instead of winging it.

    I have found that setting a schedule to work on certian things and specific times has been the best way for me, as Dion pointed out.

    Makes me dedicate my time to that specific project instead of putting it off. I get way more done now.

    But this is a very good reflective approach to take a step back and get back on track.

    Thanks Kevin!

    Guess I should answer too, huh?

    1. Frustrated that No Debt Plan isn't the #1 personal finance blog out there. Okay, seriously I want it to be more popular. More visitors. More readers.

    2. My 8-5 job. :)

    3. Learning about SEO, networking outside of the personal finance blogosphere. I feel like the blog name is "out there" within personal finance. Not sure how to get it out into the general blog populus though.

    @KMulligan:

    Consider writing in a more flexible manner. When writing a post, ask yourself, "How does this (or could this) apply to other people? People in different industries? What would make this interesting for somebody outside of personal financing? What titles can I use to hook the 'regular Joe' who may not even know he's interested in personal financing?"

    Unfortunately, personal financing is an area where everybody thinks they have an opinion so experts like yourself can be taken less seriously when offering straight forward advice...finances are a sensitive issue for a lot of people, and it can be hard to communicate to somebody who hasn't opened up their mind to others' ideas when after all..."You don't know me [them]".

    Consider writing in a manner that will interest people who don't even know they need, or would accept, your advice...after you have them hooked with real life financial (or financially related) scenarios and problems, subtly offer advice on how to solve those problems without such a direct 'expert' approach on the subject.

    Of course, your current format is great too. May want to try this one though :P
