Liz Strauss has issued a Blogging Metaphor challenge on her blog. Essential Keystrokes has joined the call with a great analogy on her blog as has Word Sell.
These two blogs use blogging as food metaphors while mine talks to the other side of the coin… exercise.
Yesterday, during a conversation with a client, she commented, "You make it sound like work!"
My response was, "I’m assuming that if you had an innate love of blogging, you would already be doing it and I wouldn’t have had to work so hard and so long getting you to this point." (This client’s blog was launched 6 weeks ago and we were working on her very first post.)
There are people who exercise just for the love of moving their bodies. I am not one of these people. I exercise because I LOVE what it does for my mind and body.
When I bring up blogging with a client or potential client, the first objection I seem to get is "I don’t have time to blog." My response is "OF COURSE YOU DON’T! But do you have time to exercise?"
