BLOG

This is my very first post on my very first blog.   Wel­come to  StrengthenTheHarmonyBlog.com

I finally took the leap, mas­tered the tech­nol­ogy (well, almost mas­tered) and launched this blog.  Let me tell you, it was a leap.   I hear so many peo­ple talk­ing about how they write, read and com­ment on blogs.  I’ve had inter­net mar­ket­ing coaches tell me to just put up a blog and start inter­act­ing with peo­ple.  Well, it seemed to take me more time than most peo­ple.  You see, I needed to develop the strat­egy of how the Strengthen the Har­mony webi­nar and this blog and fit into my over­all busi­ness.  In my offline world (whalen.com), I am a con­sul­tant work­ing with busi­nesses and non­prof­its to help them develop strate­gies to be suc­cess­ful.  So I needed time to get the strat­egy piece to come together.  But I also needed time to con­vince myself that I could mas­ter the tech­nol­ogy and learn the inter­ac­tion piece. You see I am “old school.”   My pro­fes­sional life started long before com­put­ers were on every desk or before you could research your mar­ket­place or get feed­back from your cus­tomer by “tweet­ing.”   Back in those days we devel­oped elab­o­rate plans about get­ting feed­back.  Today you get feed­back instan­ta­neously.  So that is the leap!   I am jump­ing off the “old school bus” and hop­ping on the “new school bus.”   I’m open­ing myself and my ideas up for com­ments and instan­ta­neous response.   I have to be hon­est, I have a bit of trep­i­da­tion.  But noth­ing ven­tured, noth­ing gained.  So here I go.…. Wel­come to the Strengthen the Har­mony blog.  I look for­ward to this adventure.
