My “Working Out Loud” personal goal from my first WOL circle in 2017 Q1

During my first Working Out Loud circle in 2017 Q1 and beyond, I worked to the following personal goal (posting here as the only content in the post for ease of reference and sharing). This has become my manifesto and rallying cry.

 

To create more long-form content than I have done prior to starting in my first WOL circle and to do so in a way that:-

1. leverages both my personal knowledge and practical experience
2. inspires people to engage and apply that content in their daily lives
3. reduces any "barriers to entry" for the subject area
4. encourages the reader to continue and build on the conversation
5. is jargon-free and accessible to people unfamiliar with the subject area

and where the content takes the form of:-

1. blog posts and comments on other people's blog posts
2. Facebook posts and comments on other people's Facebook posts
3. Tweets and replies to other people's tweets

and is either:-

1. proactive with no specific prompt from another person's content
2. reactive indirectly to another person's content
3. reactive directly to another person's content.

This will include making explicit content that historically has been "hidden" behind "Like"s and "RT"s.
