A few months back, I was having a coffee with my business coach and he asked me why I don’t blog professionally?
He said the funny thing is that you coach people on how to blog but you don’t do it myself.
Great question, yeah as I laughed sheepishly.
To be honest, I really hate writing or writing hates me. It sounds like a cop out but I really don’t like writing.
I have never been a very good writer and I have struggled with it all my life, from my school days to my professional career.
I find it difficult, complicated and frustrating as I often struggle to get the words out of my head and onto paper.
As I write this post it has probably taken me 4 weeks of procrastination and 4 days of writing! Even writing my own copy for my consulting/web development business it has taken me 3 months to write and I still have not yet finished it.
I am more of an analytical and technical type person. I love numbers, process, systems, workflows and anything that requires logic. Just like Dr. Spock
I am very good at solving problems however when it comes to writing, I just struggle, I suck!
I struggle with the words, structure, grammar and anything everything to do with writing.
In saying this when I first started my digital publishing business, I had to write everyday! I dreaded it.
I would struggle day in day out for years, but the funny is the more I wrote the more money my niche websites made. So I kept at it until I could afford to outsource it.
Anyhow back to his conversation. He was so right in many ways, how can I continue to preach it and not do it myself.
It is time to face my fears, my doubts and many ways my impostor syndrome.
So I have decided to step outside my comfort zone and take up the challenge on becoming a professional blogger.
I am actually really excited but at the same time nervous as I finally get to share and write about one of my biggest passion in life which is making a living online.
