The 5 Elements of Visionary Blogging
- Part 1: Awareness
- Part 2: Focus
- Part 3: Discernment
- Part 4: Imagination
- Part 5: Diligence
What is awareness?
Awareness is the first element of visionary blogging and the first step to effective blog improvement.
Awareness is the ability to see – the ability to detect, to perceive, to sense.
Awareness is consciousness.
Awareness is potential.
Awareness is meta.
How does your level of awareness affect your blog improvement potential?
Without awareness, all is darkness and silence to you. Stuff still exists, but you cannot sense it.
What you aren’t aware of, you can’t see.
What you can’t see, you can’t measure.
What you can’t measure, you can’t improve.
So in order to improve your blog or yourself as a blogger, you must have awareness. You must be aware.
As you strive to become more aware and blog more consciously, you actually improve your ability to improve.
Meta-improvement – the improvement of improvement – is the greatest blogging skill of all and the capstone to the whole Visionary Blogging method. It brings everything full circle and generates an upward curve or spiral of ever-brightening awareness and self-improvement.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. The capstone comes last; first we need to lay the foundation.
In Part 2, we’ll discuss the second element of visionary blogging: focus.

Obviously someone else here has also read “Godel, Escher, Bach”. I read your first article through ProBlogger and found it strikingly similar to some of my own ideas about sucess in the digital world. I am a student currently, and am about to start my own blog in a few months (hard to decide on a name, too). I’ll check back for updates regularly – these articles are great.
Thank you, Harrison. Feel free to chat with me anytime during the brainstorming process. Nameish.com, Ajaxwhois.com and InstantDomainSearch.com are helpful for finding a good domain name.
Easton,
Thanks for starting this post series, I’m looking forward to reading through your 5 Elements.
What I’m enjoying about your site (been a feeder for only a few days now) is that your posts are not fluff. I mean sure, they talk about ideas and concepts .. but I like reading them. Your style is clear and easily readable.
Kudos!
Hey, Easton. I am here to study your work! And you are absolutely right – what you can't see you can't measure or improve. Thanks for the inspiration.
You're welcome, Suzanne! You inspire me too. You work very hard and somehow keep all your blogging ducks in a row. I look forward to seeing you here again soon!
