Blog It!

Great Hypnotherapist! Highly skilled Reiki Practitioner! Pretty good cook if I say so myself, all round lovely person, and now, moderately competent at tweakifying my Blog from bog standard to something  that doesn't look as though it has been cobbled together by a five year old...
 I am particularly proud of my swimming fish! What do you think? Any suggestions for further improvements gratefully received.
The thing is, I know that there are many things about the Digital Age that will always remain a mystery to me, but I do try to improve - even though it take me hours to do the things that others can do  in minutes. And it is so easy to get it wrong. I still get confused between My Wall and My Profile on Facebook, and worry about who can see what, but what a great sense of achievement there is when a new skill is gained or a difficulty overcome.
Perhaps it's an age thing? My daughter shakes her head with pity when I stumble through trying to explain what I want to do on the computer, and does a fair imitation of my crude attempts to text. I'm actually quite pleased with myself on the texting front, particularly as I have recently discovered that there is a Template option for replies.
As a new recruit to the world of blogging one of my earliest mistakes is very evident in that I have 2 blogs called Anne Stagg Hypnotherapy - this one, and the one that I created when I didn't know the difference between New Blog  and New Post...

There is a very true saying which goes something like, "If you always do what you have always done, you will always get the same results..."

I know that for my business to grow I  need to market it using a range of strategies. I know that a few years ago it would have been enough to use posters, business cards, letters of introduction, and personal contacts, but time has moved on and  Social Media is the  key to succcess. I want to use Social Media to promote my Clinical Hypnotherapy and Reiki skills so I have had to do something different; I have had to step outside of my comfort zone.

When did you last step outside of your comfort zone? If there is something about your life that you don't like, the only way that it will change is if you do something about it.
