Beatrix Kiddo's Guide to Making It Happen

By Sonia Simone

I hadn't thought about this pair of movies since they came out, but lately Beatrix Kiddo, the triumphant and sometimes reluctant heroine, keeps springing to mind. I can see her calm, determined face as she sets herself to the task in front of her and starts methodically punching.

One, two, three . . . one billion and one, one billion and two, one billion and three . . .

Whether she's recovering from a four-year coma or punching her way out of a six-foot-deep living grave, Beatrix Kiddo's got something I need . . . focus.

Great post. A reminder that if you stop you fall.

Have no fear, and never give up on a good idea, are two of my guiding principles.

Keep punching, Sonia! I find every article you write entertaining, useful and a downright treat to read ... I for one would love to see you go big and bold and brash with it all.

Good luck!

What a great piece! I love the punch punch punch punch punch! That's a great mantra, I'm so stealing that :)

The scene about determination that I remember the best is when she's in the car, looking at her toe. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle.

I like the punch mantra better :) I, unlike you, are into the kung fu stuff.

PS: I couldn't believe it, but your feed was not in my reader. That has been corrected now!

Really. Great. Post.

I am with you all the way.

Punch, punch, punch.

Without the connection, it is empty action and you have way more heart than that.

[Michael Martine]

Sonia, I'm with ya. Been feeling this way myself, lately, and you've given that feeling a good metaphor. You've got great things ahead of you.

Sonia: do you ever look back on your writing over the years to remind yourself how far you've come? It's hard to imagine there was a time that your writing wasn't always this good!

[Sonia Simone]

Jason, I try very, very hard not to read my old writing, because every time I do, hara kiri starts to look like an appealing option. :)

Hi Sonia,

I just found you recently ( through Copyblogger) and have, in a very short time, become a raving fan! You are one of the most entertaining, imaginative,inspirational, lively, down-to-earth, real, informative and just darned helpful writers on marketing that I have ever come across.

You always make me smile (and often laugh out loud), a quality that goes on the very top of my list of what makes a great writer.

You certainly deserve to get lots of attention and tons more raving fans!

Best of luck with your new venture.

[Sonia Simone]

Chris, thanks for such lovely feedback!

Thanks for posting the numbers. I started mine a year ago this November (and *WOW* was my photography bad) without any real plans to make it a regular thing. I started (mostly) regular posting in March of this year, and just topped 600 feed subscribers.

I keep reading about the people who hit multiple thousands within a few months and wonder what I'm doing wrong. It's reassuring to see confirmation that those are the exceptions.

Happy birthday, and here's wishes for many more of the same.
