Avoiding "Analysis Paralysis"

Analysis paralysis is very dangerous when operating in the realm of cutting-edge technologies. Until you get involved, you won’t know whether you are purpose should be creating an image for yourself (packaging yourself as a “brand”), educating your readership, or establishing yourself as a thought leader in your particular niche. It could be any of these or any combination, or it could be something completely different that is unique to your situation. What gets you started in blogging, though, is hard to put into words, and probably different for each blogger. Ultimately, I suspect, it’s the irrational little child in each of us, the one who loved to be noticed, that is the initial motivator. Learning to blog is not unlike learning to speak. Until you develop a voice and find listeners who can relate positively to what you are saying, you’re going to babble and gurgle a bit. Don’t panic if this happens. It’s a growth process, and missteps are inevitable.
