I found these two photos I took of my son a few years ago, which I did for a newsletter for the Data warhousing company that I worked for at the time. It reminded me of the journey I have taken in the past few years with blogging. I have spoken to several people that are wondering if they should create an outside blog for their business.
The photos were to illustrate a point that you don't start out on the big bike, you start out on the bike with training wheels and then you grow into the big bike. The article was about picking the right tools for the job at hand. When you started at Active Rain, it is like riding a bike with training wheels.
When I looked at these photos I thought about the newer agents in the business and those that are trying to make sense of blogging. There many lessons in Real Estate to be learned and they come in stages. Start out small, learn as much as possible, and grow into the next stage. It never ends.
So ask yourself an important question are you ready to move to the big bike? How do you know? What questions do you need to ask? Where do you start?
You too are allowed to have training wheels until you are comfortable without them. That the to start on the bike on the left although really cool and appealing might not be right for you right now. One day it will be.
And so I was reminded that it is not the destination, but the journey....
