You Know More Than You Think

I've faced times when I don't know what to write about in this blog, my newsletter or what to include in my audio series, Chalk Talk. I think I'm tapped out of ideas. 

And then it happens. I'm scanning a few online articles or a blog post someone else has written and pow! A word or phrase jumps out at me. 

"That's it," I think to myself. "That's a concept I can write about."

Suddenly, I'm struck by another thought or two about the new topic. I decide right then and there to open up my trusty Notepad program and start to write. The words begin to flow.

It's nothing fancy, mind you. Sometimes I simply write out a series of phrases. Other times, I start to construct whole sentences and even full paragraphs.

The point is that all it takes is a little prompting to make me realize that I know more than I think. As do all of us. We all have more stored knowledge and wisdom than we could possibly imagine.

And so, your task is to start compiling that knowledge in the form of blog posts and short articles that can be turned into multimedia content. As a thought leader, you need to be able to communicate your wisdom to others so that the world sees you as the expert you are.

Don't hide your knowledge or keep your wisdom a secret. Share it.
