Stop writing about how you're going to do this, and just do it. Everything you need is available online.

Writing blog posts like this is a form of procrastination, and distracts from your stated goal.

They have built something and they have used that something to shape a plan for achieving their goal. "Stated goal" and "just do it," are mutually consistent with "writing blog posts like this..."

You might be right but I also think writing down your goals can be useful if you want to achieve them.

Blogging about your work can be great, and they haven't actually stalled out yet so you're being too cynical.
