Paralysis on the internet

Have you found yourself terrified of all things internet? Do you suffer from Prolonged Onset of Online Paralysis or POOP? I, myself, have been a slave to nothing but email for years, only venturing into the depths of the internet through links sent to me in an email. The hallowed ground of the web is one many people are scared to enter because it seems so large and overwhelming, this vast space that reaches every far corner of the earth.
But venture we must if we are to grow with the world both personally and professionally. And I have great news; I, discoverer of the near-debilitating disease, POOP, and self proclaimed doctor of EP (Ex-POOPing) am here to share the good news of your prognosis. You can overcome POOP!
You can overcome POOP by taking a few simple steps. The best thing of all? There are people near and far who WANT to help you. I am living proof that POOP can be defeated! You can find a new friend/sponsor for your POOP if you just ask. All you have to do is take the first step. Sign up on some social sites, like Facebook, My Space, and Twitter. The first thing you can do there is tell people that you need help to navigate through these sites. You'll be amazed at what you will learn just by logging your name in. The new friends/sponsors you find on these sites to help you fight POOP will come from near and far offering guides and tips.
From there you will start to notice people who have the same interests as you and before you know it, yup, you'll start writing/blogging/creating.
The suggestion is to write about things that matter. Something that gives value and will cause other people to be driven to you. What could that be? Well, here's the thing...ready...maybe you should sit down for this. YOU! YOU matter! And YOU are valuable! There are so many interests in this world, it's almost incomprehensible; from knitting with only yellow yarn, to training your dog to walk on 2 legs, to developing an online business. What interests you, interests an enormous amount of people in this big wide world. When you share your thoughts and experiences, they will find and follow you to hear about it and share theirs.
Once you start writing and learning more about the things you are interested in, that information and the way you present it becomes valuable to those around you who share the same interests. Then you will be the one helping and guiding them! When you are researching and sharing your finds on the internet, you start learning the new and exciting things first hand just by being involved and then you'll have that to share with your group of followers.
Does this sound crazy (not me, this blog) and fun (well, me and the blog)? Well it is and you would be crazy not to engage yourself and enjoy it.
So take the plunge, get over POOP and become one with us in this community of online sharing and caring. Who knows? Your next best friend, personal coach or business partner may only be a few key strokes away.
Enjoy this journey whether for business or personal engagement.
Until next time,
Dawn
