Observations From Running This Group

(Well, the title is kind of deceptive since I'm hardly "running" the group. I'm officially the founder, but everyone has equal say in things.) I'm really happy with the response I got for this group. There's a handful of highly active members who are really going above and beyond to give eachother advice. I've also learned a lot just by reading the articles. (I do try to read everything posted to the group, whether or not I find anything to comment on or criticize)

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the core membership consists of a lot of highly intelligent, conscious individuals. We met up on the Steve Pavlina forums, and that's not a place that tends to attract people with low consciousness levels.

One thing I've learned, which kind of lights a big ol' fire under my butt to get to work on my own blog, is that I'm not alone in having this fervent desire to create value for the world. So far, everyone who's actively contributed to the group, I can tell at some level or another you all want to add value to the world.

Of course, we're in a better position to create value when we're more free and independent, and thus I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for ways the groupmembers can increase profit from their blogs. We're all newbies right now, and it's way too early to quit our day jobs still (.....or is it?? drumroll) But I'm picturing a future where the Band of Bloggers can tour the world, giving public speeches and curing cancer and solving world hunger. :)

Four new blog posts

In case you don't know, Band of Bloggers is a group of bloggers. We want to improve our blogs and blog traffic, so we ask for feedback on how to improve. Project members can submit one or two articles a week for consideration by the project.

From Glowing Face Man: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: A Man of Courage, Passion, and Freedom. An article about what we can learn from the Nobel Laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

From Magic of Believing: Wilma Rudolph. An article illustrating the power of belief by examining Wilma Rudolph, who accomplished a miracle with belief.

From Magic of Believing: The Belief that Heals. An article about the placebo effect, with a surprising story about cancer treatment.

From Tycoon Dreamer: Credit Card Debt - Stop the Madness Now! An article with tons of tips on avoiding/escaping credit card debt. Of course many of the principles would work on any type of debt, really ;)

Welcome to Blogs Of Our Fathers

Blogs Of Our Fathers is a joint project run by a group of bloggers who got together at the Steve Pavlina forums to work together on improving our blogs.

From time to time, we'll run blog carnivals. A blog carnival is an event where the wider community of bloggers submits articles, and the carnival selects the best ones and publishes links to them. Sometimes the carnival will be run right here at Blogs Of Our Fathers. Other times, it will be hosted at blogs belonging to members of the project.
