MARGARET MURPHY says I love research, discovery, exploration….a few months ago I set about to more methodically discover the real value for me (my business, my life) in the web and social media. I was like Alice falling into Wonderland… I was awestruck, overwhelmed, one path led to an even more fascinating path and I did not want to leave. I did not want to go to work…I wanted to keep exploring and absorbing from one brilliant person or site after another.
I had more ideas after one week than I could keep track of, much less hold in my head. A professor of mine in B-school once told me that most people are totally satisfied to daydream about C Level Executive List starting their own business, writing a great book, etc….they don’t need to actually do it to enjoy a sense of accomplishment…they just love to envision it, plan it, tell familty and friends about it….always finding a reason not to do it.
The web provides us with every bit of information we need to be commercially successful…but it also makes it more possible than ever to feel a sense of accomplishment or influence, when we write (blog, tweet, post, comment) or build a website….even if we are the only ones who read it. It can make you the ultimate day dream believer. KUNG FU KID says That’s a wicked (quality) post … I’ve been guilty of this all the time. Especially after buying a book, thinking what a great idea that was, doing it and forgetting it. I like the idea of reading a book until you find something useful ..
