Blogging In A Busy World?…Are You Kidding Me?!

What was I thinking? While talking w/ my Girlfriend Janet Powers on our national Girlfriends 2.0 radio show…I agreed to a bet. We would blog every day until our next show a week later. GULP! What was I thinking?! I had made a HUGE  commitment without checking my calendar. But at the time, I didn’t want to pass up a “double dog dare” plus I need to start blogging more. This was a great way to dive in, right? That was Wednesday.

On Thursday, I left my house early in the morning. I had a meeting with my publisher, a power lunch with several Mompreneurs, a Chamber meeting, and finally ending the day with an Oklahoma chapter meeting for the National Speakers Assoc. Oh… and I almost forgot… I had to swing by my Girlfriend Linda’s birthday party on the way home. Whew! Somewhere between meetings, I got a tweet from Janet: “Did you write your blog today? I did http://blog.divatoolbox.com/?id=591.” D’oh!! I FORGOT all about my bet! Blog?… when did I have time to blog? Dang! I feel into bed that night.. guilty I hadn’t seen my children OR written my blog. Oh man….

Now it’s Friday. I refuse to miss another day of my kids OR my blog. So I’m up before the kids (a slight miracle for me!) and writing. I refuse to get derailed from what’s important today. Obviously, time w/ my kids is time I’ll never get back in life. My precious moments with them these days are one of the benefits of my new life away from Corporate America. But why should blogging be a priority? The bet aside, blogging is a wonderful way to introduce yourself to people. It’s your thoughts and ideas for the world to see. People like to do business w/ people they feel they know. Also, it’s a reason for people to visit your site.  Once there.. they might actually BUY something. (Yay!)

Kids are almost awake! So, it’s time to wrap up. Of course, that’s the great thing about a blog… it’s short. So, while I stay on track the next 6 days of blogging daily…join me. Sure, I want you to read and enjoy my blog, but also I want you to blog. Write about anything! Hey, I just wrote about a double dog dare that turned into a blog about…. hmmmm, what his this about? A blog about no time for blogging? Nah. This is blog about staying in track with things that help you connect to people, network and grow your business. I’m going to tweet, facebook and put my blog on LinkedIn so people even know it’s here. (Remember, people can’t read what they don’t know is there. Ya gotta let ‘em know about your blog and social media is one of the best way to do it!)

Wanna join the challenge? Oops… kids are up. I gotta go…
