Steve Pavlina who features a blog on Personal Development for Smart People tells how blogging has become a growth path for him Here are a couple of excerpts from the post:
When I started this site 16 months ago, my goal was to help people with their personal development. And based on the thousands of pieces feedback I’ve received since then, that expectation is certainly being realized. However, what I wasn’t fully prepared for was the massive amount of personal growth I would experience as a result of this decision. I expected there would be a symbiotic relationship that would provide additional fuel for my own growth, but the effect was far greater than I imagined. Consequently, I now believe that blogging may be one of the best tools for personal growth
According to Technorati, three years ago there were less than half-a-million blogs. Today there are over 27 million, and this figure continues to double every 5.5 months. That’s some serious growth, and partly I’ve enjoyed riding this wave for the past 16 months. Is this an opportunity that’s going to pass you by while you sit on the sidelines and watch, or would you like to become an active participant?
If you don’t yet have your own blog, I highly recommend starting one as a means of taking your personal growth to the next level. The software is all free, so it won’t even cost you anything. I use WordPress for this blog, and I highly recommend it. A new version was recently released that makes it even easier to use. Some web hosts such as Yahoo even automate the installation for you. But if you don’t have your own web hosting account (or don’t want to pay for one), consider signing up with one of the free hosted services like WordPress.com, Blogger, Typepad, or LiveJournal. Those are less flexible to customize (especially if you want to generate income), but they’re much easier to setup, and you don’t need a web hosting account to use them.
