Sometimes trying to be both a resource and a support system can be a challenging line to straddle. IFB wants to motivate you, help you, inspire you and make you the smartest, most successful blogger you can be.<\/p>\n

Recently we've been talking a lot about dealing with the negatives that come with blogging (and just about any bold endeavor, am I right?). From handling and growing from rejection and criticism to tackling Internet bullies, the life of a blogger is certainly not all photoshoots and cupcake Instagrams.<\/p>\n

To twist a line from an Ice-T song<\/a>, bloggin' ain't easy<\/em> (but somebody's gotta do it)<\/em>. Anyone who tells you that it's not hard work to produce great content and get it in front of already over-saturated audiences and convince them it's amazing – is a damn fool. Really, they are. Here's the thing about it, too: For all that hard work, you still might fail.<\/p>\n

Ahhhhhh! What!? Fail!? Me, the greatest, most talented blogger ever!?<\/em><\/p>\n

Bare in mind, though, that failure is sort of an ambiguous term in blogging. If growing your traffic, building your following, establishing relationships with brands and networking with your peers isn't something you want to achieve from your blog, and you're just doing it for fun or a hobby – then congrats, you will never fail!<\/p>\n

What we're here to tell you is: don't be afraid to fail<\/strong>. Work your you-know-what off to make things happen and to achieve your goals – but don't freak out if Plan A (or B or C or D…) is a total bust. Seriously. We came across this very inspiring article from Business Insider<\/a> the other day that listed 26 people who failed at first and went on to succeed in huge ways.<\/p>\n

Here are just a few of our favorite notable success stories:<\/h4>\n
