Why Share Our Wisdom?

# Why Share Our Wisdom? Why should we, why would we, and why do we… share our wisdom? Since the time we could communicate with each other through vision, touch, and then speech, we have been sharing our wisdom. Passing down from generation to generation to survive, grow, and evolve. What does it mean to share our wisdom, though? Learning through a book or experience or both is where we create wisdom and therefore have an opportunity to share this with others. Some of us see this as a chance to help others drive forward and take that first step or pass through a barrier. Taking the chance to share our wisdom online can also give us the opportunity to earn from sharing our wisdom. Some of us run memberships, courses, and coaching programs to spread wisdom or even provide others within our communities with a platform to do the same. ## What Happens When We Share? When we communicate with others, there is a transaction being made, and most often, that may involve an 'aha!' moment, an 'oh thank goodness for confirming I'm right' moment, or even a 'wow, didn't think of it that way' moment. There is most certainly good and bad wisdom. Any advice will teach us something — what TO DO and what NOT TO DO. We learn from every experience, be it good or bad. ## Sharing Your Knowledge is a Journey How easy is it to share our wisdom with others? Well, before venturing out and plastering yourself all over the online world, you will need to build trust. Otherwise, why would anyone feel comfortable listening to you? It's like dating your audience. You need to give it time and be yourself. That is the most important advice I give to many of my connections and clients. **Be you! Don't be someone else.** When you are trying to teach or guide others through your experiences, you are showing them how they too can achieve what you have. Now when you show that you too may have struggled along the way, your audience will find it easier to relate. WE ALL DO NOT GET IT PERFECT FROM STEP 1. None of us do! First, you build trust, a reputation, and the following. Hence a social media account is important. Test the waters, go out and see if people are interested in what you want to share. Trial and test and most importantly — **GIVE IT TIME.** Sharing your wisdom online is an amazing gift you give to many. Yes, you can earn a wonderful lifestyle through online content sharing; but always remember why you do it and what your goals are. There is a balance when sharing your wisdom between you, the sharer, and your audience. Pass on caution, insight, intelligence, and be fair both to you and others by being transparent. Share the good and the bad. Show you are human, just like your audience.
