Why is blogging so difficult for me?
As much as I realize the importance of having a web presence, days and days go by where I think about how I need to get a blog out there, yet it never seems to happen. I wonder if this is similar to what the small business owner goes through when he or she thinks about their paper work and getting a handle on their business Financial Statements.
My concern with blogging is that I will be misunderstood and unknowingly breach confidentiality commitments. We all know how easy it is to miscommunicate when we’re chatting with some-one face to face and we have all kinds of tools like eye contact, facial expression, tone of voice etc. Removing all these tools increases the chances of being misunderstood, dramatically. I think I need to come to terms with the idea that writing a blog is not having a conversation. It’s just about shareing my knowledge either by way of technical writing or telling a story. I also need to trust that if I say something that someone finds offensive, that, that some-one will contact me to clarify before jumping to unhealthy conclusions. If they don’t, it probably doesn’t matter that I’ve offended of them. I guess I need to just be brave and live from the heart, knowing I’m all about doing the right thing no matter what others see.
…feel the fear and do it anyway. If you are fearing that mound of paper accumulating in your home and in your vehicle, you may want to feel the fear and check out what I can do to help by visiting www.btgaccounting.com.
