Kristine Oller is brilliant, beautiful …
… and bold enough to tell the truth about herself, even when it means talking about times that she’s failed to take her own advice.
Case in point is this post on her blog from a few days ago, in which she admits this is the third time she’s started her blog and goes on to admit …
When I first plunged into the blogosphere in January 2007, I was still in the thick of writing my book. My decision to start the blog then was based on the fact that the latest restructuring of my website was complete and, since there was a section for a blog, there should be a blog! But did I really feel like writing a blog? No. Work on my book and my monthly column was completely filling my plate and, honestly, the blog commitment felt like a heavy ball and chain. My decision to do it is a perfect example of me ignoring my own good advice and trying to stuff something into my life just because I thought I “should†be doing it – even though my gut was clearly telling me otherwise.
And then …
There still wasn’t room for it six months later in June of 2007, when I decided to give it another go. This decision was even less sound – motivated entirely by the guilt and embarrassment I felt about “letting down†all of the well-wishers who greeted my posts in January. Here I was again, expending energy to paddle against the current of life instead of surrendering my will and going with the flow. Not surprisingly, the blog capsized again.
I’m confident that Kristine’s third time will be the charm. I look forward to reading every post. (And speaking of admitting, yes, the alliteration at the start of this post was intentional.)
Oh, and while you’re at her site, don’t miss the page devoted to her new audiobook Feeding Your Focus. I’m working my way through it right now. It is absolutely packed full of valuable insights and actionable ideas that, if you do take action, will transform your approach to your voiceover career.
