Information Overload, or curious explorer?
If you have Internet access and a computer at your office, some of the best hours you can invest for your business are hours blogging, updating your web site, learning and getting familiar with the industry online resources, and connecting with other hypnotherapists around the world via the Internet.
That's why for my contribution to the AAPH blog, I'll be aiming to bring you Internet places to see, ideas to blog about, and methods & resources to build your professional indentity on the Internet.
Of course, there are thousands of resources available on the Internet, and more new ones everyday, so a little bit at a time is good approach (which is another reason why blogs are so helpful: short, informative, and ongoing periodic little chunks.) I look at it not so much that there is far too much information for me to ever see, but more that the journey I take and the places I frequent on the Internet are what contribute to the uniqueness that is me and my offer to my clients.
Just like the real world: there is no way I'm ever going to see every square mile of this planet, just like no one is ever going to see every web site on the Internet. But the places on earth I do see and know and often visit give me a connection and value to others that is different than, say, a hypnotherapist in Asia or Africa, who can connect according to their landscape of experience and locales. Thus, you can wander, ponder and roam the Internet not with the pressure of information overload urging you to rush around, but with the mind of an explorer and curious learner that will always have new places to go whenever desired.
The first resource I have is for the NLP students: a long-standing NLP community is on the Internet at NLP Weekly. Shlomo Vaknin, C.Ht, is the editor and manager of this huge forum area. The site is based on forums, which can strew topics across different places, but the search feature of the site is always handy.
Read posts, articles, and discussions on various NLP techniques and concepts. If you decide to register, you can also post your location and resume on the "Find a Practitioner" board. That's an opportunity for a little more exposure and presence on the net.
(If you haven't ever participated in forum discussions on the net, they do have their own netiquette and practices. I'll keep that in mind as a future blogging topic, too, to bring the netiquette info to AAPH members.)
Explore, enjoy and see you on the net.
