Just a month ago, I gave up my full time medical consultant position in order to pursue something that I had on my mind for last 2 yrs but just didn’t have chance.
I have no income for the past one month and my husband bears all the expenses but I feel happy and free to have the ability to pursue what I really have been wanting to do since my father died 2 yrs ago. Also a little fearful at times, if it is going to work.
Everything seems challenging starting from website development. I feel desperate for things to move at a faster pace. In this regard, when I was hounding my web developer, telling her to hurry up as this is what I am doing full time now. She said, Neelam start writing blogs.
What is that? Where do I write these and more importantly why should I write blogs? You see for over 30yrs of my life, I have worked really hard first as a student, studying, writing competitive exams, passing the exams, arduous and long medical training and then working as a doctor and still studying and writing exams.
I have missed out on so much! I feel like I missed the race as far as computers are concerned. so much has gone on in the online world and I am waking up now in 2022. Where have I been? This has really unnerved me. I am illiterate as far as on line stuff is concerned. There is so much to learn and I guess, in order to walk, I will have to run.
Do I have the patience and energy to do that. Well I will have to find it. somehow…
For the last couple of days, I have gone on the internet in order to find out what blogging is? what is it’s utility in relation to what I am trying to do. There is so much information out there.
In summary what I have learnt is that blogging is an extremely powerful tool and can be utilised for various reasons and purposes such as:
-
have an online presence if you are starting an online business
-
introduce people to the work you are doing
-
a creativity outlet
-
a log of your own journey
-
affiliate marketing (as a means of monetisation if you are interested)
for me it is mainly to have an online presence and introduce people to my work.
I have been nervous about writing this, thinking who is going to read it. I have also thought about the fact that perhaps no one will read it and found my respite in it
but that’s not the right way of thinking.
I strongly believe in being brave and defying your limiting beliefs.
“Brave means you are scared of doing something but you do it anyways”
doing that something which is a worthy cause. If you have a worthy cause then you must go for it. Not worrying about looking like a fool to other people in the beginning.
In order to succeed, you need only 2 things
-
Have a worthy goal
-
know that you are going to reach it.
that is all I am focusing on……..
