Just Do It.... What's Your Story?

How many times have you been planning to post your story and never did it? Then one day somebody posted it...

 

I admit I only read posts that are featured. That's why my dream is to have my first post being featured. I waited and waited till I have a good story and experience to tell that I think would be worth  featured, but guess what?  That story never came. In my mind, the story I thought about is not good enough. Then one day somebody wrote the same thought and experience that I had and got featured.... and then all I can do is comment and say "it happens to me too".

 

As a newbie in real estate, I am also a newbie in Active Rain. Although I've been reading blogs and comments for more than 6 months now to gain knowledge and information, I never signed up. One time I read Larry Bettag's post titled "Writing the Perfect Post". I felt like he was talking to me directly. Then next was Loreena Yeo's "Flap your wings even if it means just above your nest". I realized that I needed to start somewhere, I needed to start blogging, commenting, practicing my skills to become an effective blogger. My boss said it well in regards to cold calling, "You can practice your script, but if you are worried so much about the delivery it will never be good enough, you will never pick-up the phone and start calling".

 

But the greatest motivation for me to get started blogging is Lenn Harley's "Just what is it about social networking that you like? confession of a googlephile!". After reading the post and the comments, I finally realized that it is time for me  to do it. So I finally signed up with AR and this, is my first blog. I told myself- featured or not, it doesn't matter, I will just do it. How about you? What's your story? Let's hear about it...
