Blogging – My Religion

By Francine • Jul 1st, 2008 • Category: Pure Content

Just got off the phone after a long, interesting conversation with a fellow blogger/consultant/entrepreneur.  He had some tips and suggestions and some opportunities to discuss and it made me think.  

It’s been a while since I started down this path and it’s been  a lot of fun.  I’ve learned a lot.  I’ve learned so many new things that now I’m looking at project management related opportunities that are a direct result of blogging rather than of my financial and professional services background.  
That, to me, is pretty amazing.
I’ve become an evangelist for blogging as a tool to establish yourself in the mix, whatever, wherever that is.  There are risks.  Someone might criticize or question your credibility.  Someone might attack you personally. Someone might remind everyone what a geek you were in 8th grade…  
But I digress.
I’ve added my sister’s blog to my blogroll.   She’s a real estate agent here in Chicago, in the historic neighborhood of Beverly/Morgan Park where we grew up.  She saw what I was doing and said, “Hey!  I can do that too.”  And she did. With a job, a family and all the other pressures modern families are under, she’s doing it – writing about the community we love and the people we know.
So, if you’ve ever wanted to put your stuff out there, tell your story, be judged on what you know, not what box you may have found yourself in…  
Just do it. It’s not hard.  It’s pretty forgiving.  It’s neat.
