In one of my NLP training session I learnt that we do not only have one brain sitting insight the head, but also other brains, one sitting near our stomach, one sitting near our heart. They function autonomously and control a large part of our feelings, actions and thoughts.
Today I discovered that we all have at least one more brain: the brain on the web. Let me give you an example.
I was thinking if it is the right time to start my coaching business which I planned for long time. I posted to a networking community called Coaching about what is the chance to sustain to become a full time professional coach. To my surprise, more than 10 professional coaches responded to my question with highly valuable and relevant answers, suggestions and advises. More than 690 clicks on the article thread within 4 days. Today I am smarter on this topic than few days ago.
If you ask the right questions to the right target audiences on the web, I am certain that you will get the answers virtually for any cases. So is the web part of us or is the web outside us? I would argue that we do not stop ourselves by the boundary of our body. The web is part of us. And I am grateful that internet made this part of us more accessible to us and that I am more and more aware of my brain on the web. I commit to use my web brain more wisely :-) in the future.

Knowledge is for FREE!?
The title is not intended to provoke discussions about pirate practices in some Asia countries for anything that people can burn on a DVD, including movies, songs, audio books, software, seminars, etc.
But knowledge becomes more and more available free legally on the web. Examples: What is the last time you used a paper dictionary? How often do you use the paper yellow book to find any phone numbers and addresses? There are more than 70 million blogs out there, many of them very useful and interesting. Some are highly specialized and offered by experts, like this one :-)
When you google any question today, such as: How to cook Chinese? How to manage your boss? How to handle the situation when you fall in love with your subordinate? How to find a perfect partner? How to generate a coaching business? How to write a resume? There are ideas on the web which will bring you further, lot of them are FREE. And in 10 years from now, there will be much more on the web, because the knowledge on the web is growing exponentially.
So what should you do as an expert who lives from the knowledge. Hold your knowledge? Wrong strategy! Offer the knowledge for free on the web and learn and develop as quickly as you can new knowledge. Because everything you know will eventually become the common knowledge on the web.
What is your advantage when you share what you know, you are positioning yourself as an expert. Your clients will literally find you through the network.
In internet age, it is not about how much you know, but how much you share.
