Title & Subject Unknown At This Point!

Subject Unknown

I have not posted a new Selling By Building Blog since September 27th, 2011.

I need to; I enjoy writing; and it is very important for my Business.

Since that date (since 9/27/11) I have signed on to Blogger numerous (many I should say) times with the honest intention or writing a new Blog.  Yet, the fact remains I have not completed and published a new Blog recently.

Why?

Procrastination; Hesitation; Busy Schedule; Lack of Faith; Uncertainty; Inspiration Missing.

Sometimes in life, quite frequently in fact, we have to be creative and take a risk to get beyond a stumbling block.  To regain momentum.  To push forth towards our Goals and Dreams!

Today, I am proceeding in an unusual and most likely not-highly-recommended manner.  Conventional Wisdom will not agree with what I am attempting to achieve.  I have inserted the Title "Title & Subject Unknown At This Point" because, well, that fact is the unfortunate truth as of this very point in time.

I have not been able to complete a new Blog recently because I have not been inspired with a specific idea about which to write.  I have been awaiting specific inspiration.  The specific inspiration I have sought never surfaced.  So today, right now in fact, I have begun without yet having a clear subject to write about.

Where shall I start?

I am writing this Blog to help support and promote my Small Consulting Business: Selling By Building.  I try to keep the subjects of this Blog related to and in support of the same areas I choose to focus on in my Business: Sales & Customer Care; Accounting & Finance; Communications; Business Development.

To assist me with my Goal here of coming up with a specific subject......I ponder all of the other Great Blogs I have been reading recently.  I am immersed in Social Media so I am consistently introduced to great recommended Blogs by people I am "connected with" and share content with on Twitter, LinkedIn, Stumbleupon, Google+ etc.

I follow the recommendations of people I am connected with who steer me to specific content on a daily basis and read great Blogs on the subjects of Sales, Customer Care, Accounting & Finance, Communications, and Business Development.  I really enjoy and learn a great deal from this content and these Blogs.  Over time I have grown to fully appreciate the great and infinite power of and value of the Internet and Social Media.  I actually do not consider it "work" which I must endure to try to promote my Consulting Business.  In fact, I really love the process.  Building Relationships is fun. Life before Social Media is now hard to remember. 

Twitter Power

When I first heard about "Twitter" I thought it was something on the "fringe" that I would never need to learn about.  Now, it is a part of my daily existence.  The first time I finally pushed the "Enter Button" to Post a Tweet I was so nervous and reluctant that it is now, in retrospect, laughable.  It was like I selfishly thought that when I Posted that very first Tweet that all 7 Billion People on the Planet were going to instantly read it and collectively laugh at what I had just "Tweeted."  Now, I Tweet daily and confidently.  With a clear mission of simply and honestly sharing content, ideas, and my philosophy to try to help everyone that I am connected with, I proceed without hesitation.  I proceed with a mission.  And I believe in what I am doing. 

Being consistently immersed in the World of Blogging and Content-Sharing on a daily basis one would think that I would be able to quickly and easily come up with a clear, concise, and interesting specific Subject for this Blog.  It should be easy.  With no hesitation.

Don't you agree?  Or have you too experienced "writer's block?"  Do you from time to time not know where to begin on a particular project? 

Conclusion

I began writing this Blog without a specific subject at the forefront of my mind.  But I proceeded anyway with an honest desire and commitment to create with my written word something that a reader might enjoy.  An entertaining Blog.  Unique.  A Blog that, despite having no official Title and known Subject-Matter, might retain the interest of my Readers to the very end.  I have actually enjoyed the creative process of writing this Blog, the Blog With No-Subject.  I have overcome the hurdle of getting another Blog posted.  I have achieve this one small Goal on this very day.  Next time of course I will have to start with a Known Title & Subject. 

But this was fun!

Looking back now since I am in Blog-Closing Mode, the Subject Areas which ended up being the focus of this Blog were: Goals & Stumbling Blocks; Social Media & Communication; Creativity; and, of course, Blogging!  These are all great subjects which interest me a great day.  So there we go.  The Subjects of this Blog have, over time, revealed themselves.

Now why didn't I just think of those Subjects to begin with before I began writing this Blog?  It just wasn't meant to be.  But, actually, it was more fun and rewarding proceeding as I did.

Lesson Learned

The next time you come face-to-face with an annoying and stubborn stumbling-block try proceeding in a creative, unique, unconventional manner.  Take a Risk.  Push Forth.  Think out-of-the-box.  Find a way to have fun.  Continued inaction and procrastination is a sure-fire recipe for failure.  Taking action and taking a calculated risk can be a prudent step forward to help move you closer to your goals and greater success.

Thank You and Have a Great Day!
