First place to start is with your beliefs! Build positive, reinforcing beliefs that can help lead you forward!
Now as with anything in life, we must go through failure to reach success. Anyone who has tried and gained a basic level of competence with skiing or snowboarding knows exactly what I am talking about. Heck, I played organized baseball for over 13 years. Let me tell you... My first few years were ROUGH. Simply stated, I sucked! I didn't get the 'hang' of Snowboarding to where I was comfortable to ride the entire mountain for nearly 6 YEARS!!!!
So here is the magic suggestion...
Start!
Go to
http://www.blogger.com/ and just jump in.
Now here is the 'trick'
Consistency and persistence are your keys to success. Commit to spending 1 hour per week, blogging. when you 'blog', write about fun, positive things that inspire you. Share stories that inspire you or useful tidbits that can help people save time, make better foods/crafts, or enjoy life more.
I guarantee you that if you start this week, and spend 1 hour per week posting to a blog that some magical things will happen in as little as 1 years time.
1) You'll get more comfortable and then confident with blogging.
2) Your 'unique voice' will develop. There is no other way that consistent writing for this to happen.
3) You will build up an archive of over 50 posts!
4) Search engines will have indexed your content and will be delivering you relevant traffic
5) You will have the opportunity to monetize the blog! (honestly, this one is my favorite
)
You know, there is a book by Susan Jeffers called "Feel The Fear And Do It Anyways." I'm pretty sure I have never read that book, but that phrase has been my ally for a number of years! Growth happens when we are out of our comfort zone!
Hope this helps!
