I think that the times have changed (in case you haven’t noticed) and the new age (once we look back) that we are starting now will be called the Information Age.
Just think about how much information is at our fingertips at a moments notice. Not only can you do a Google.com search your way to find something but there is also the social networking side of the information sharing also. In fact it has been recently said by Nielson ratings that it is consuming our time online.
I first heard several years ago, that web 2.0 was going to be where people found information because someone else thought it was good, interesting or funny enough to share. And I certainly think that we are certainly seeing that time in it’s infancy right now with Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.
All of this information can prove to be a problem! For instance, say you start to get interested in a certain subject – say sharing information on a blog. Now you join Twitter and you start to follow people that blog about sharing information on a blog. But part of what they talk about is how to gain financially from their blog.
You start researching not only blog creation, but also how to monitize your blog. Hey, it’s a hobby that will pay for itself, and maybe pay the electric bill sometimes.
The problem starts to be that you are so busy enjoying reading new information about blogs, blog creation, themes, plug-ins, monetizing, emails, sign-ups, etc, that you never get around to actually starting your blog…..
next thing you start to realize that anytime you are at the computer you are coming across interesting information, and you start to read and analyze everything you can take in.
The 1 thing that seems most important, is also the 1 main thing that too much information seems to keep us From!
Take Massive Action!
There is a cure for this – ‘Ready, Fire, Aim!’
It is tough to imagine doing that, but it really is sometimes the best way to get the ball rolling. Although it may seem counter-intuitive at first, it is a much better option than not getting started at all.
