Phrase: Like a hot knife through butter
Coming up with a business idea and creating that business is relatively easy.
Anyone can do it.
On the other hand, maintaining that business and making it profitable is where the vast majority of small business owners fail.
Entrepreneurs have to wear many hats, and in this day of online commerce, one hat you have to wear is that of the content creator.
For me, this is post number 2336.
I can sit down to write a post on any word, phrase, idiom or term in the English language and get through it like a hot knife through butter.
Now that may sound like a strange comparison, but when you want to say something is very easy, one way to express that is to say, ‘like a hot knife through butter.’
It wasn’t always that way, but as with everything, it becomes easier with practice.
First, I had to tell myself writing posts is something I want to do, not a task I have to do.
Now, writing a post goes as smoothly as a hot knife through butter.
I don’t have to worry about coming up with ideas or the process of writing and publishing online because I easily enter a state of flow.
It requires little effort, and I can do it with my eyes closed.
With practice, writing and publishing posts have become easier over time.
Coming up with ideas and writing is smooth and easy, just like a hot knife through butter.
If you need to create content for a website or write for any purpose, I advise sitting down and doing it not because you have to but because you want to.
Do that, and you’ll get through it like a hot knife through butter.
