Blogging Out of Passion, Not Obligation
Friday, March 5th, 2010 | Blogging, social media | No Comments
A friend of mine on Twitter, @2Live4Him, tweeted that he hasn’t posted a blog in while, commenting that he wants to write posts “out of passion and not obligation.” Passion vs. Obligation? Now that’s something to definitely think about, especially when you’re writing for online purposes.
I, like my friend, haven’t posted consistently in a while either. One would think that owning my own business would help inspire my desires to write about all things pertaining to my business and industry. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Outside of my usual business of life – wife, kids, job, errands, dance – I’m trying to run and build a freelance business on the side to keep creative juices flowing, which in and of itself, is both a passion and an obligation. But when obligations become more predominant, it’s hard for me as a primarily creative person to be posting blog posts that I may not be passionate about, but obligated to do because I’m running a business. Frankly, that being said makes me think that a “creative” person should just stick to things creative and let someone else worry about the business.
Obligation has its place in business, but so does passion. I’ve been running Zion Eye Media on the down low for well over 6 years now, and I’ve slowly built my clients based on passionate for their well-being and success, NOT for obligation to expand my personal revenue. While I agree that obligation does place more concentrated effort on the actual business of running a business, passion makes that effort come alive, both to the owner and to the recipient. Passion, for cats like me, makes blogging more personal and powerful, which makes reaching to the audience more engaging and interactive. And honestly, to write something very powerful takes all of the passion I have since I tend to write more personally than anything else. I guess that’s why I don’t fully post as much as I used to.
So, I guess this post is my way of talking to myself about trying to increase my daily passion to write something worthwhile, NOT just an obligation to run a business. Thanks for letting me rant
And thanks K, for giving me the passion to write about passion
HOLD UP!
