Forgive me this indulgence but I just wanted to tell you a bit about a challenge that I have set myself for the next 12 months. This is a challenge I have set for myself on a whim. Well not really, I’ve told myself I need to do this more and now I’ve put a structure around it. It is one that I am committed to and one that I wanted to share with you publicly. I just wanted to share with you my challenge, why I am doing it, how I hope you will benefit and also what I will be talking about so you can decide whether you want to follow along with my challenge.
What is this challenge – I call this “The 365 Day Blogging Challenge.” It’s a fairly simple challenge that I have set myself. Every day, starting today, for the next 365 days, I am going to write a blog post and share it with you. If I write 500 words per day for the next 365 days then that’s 182500 words – enough content to fill up nearly 6 business books. With any luck I’ll be able to combine some of the posts I write into a book or 2 at the end of the year.
Why am I doing this challenge – I want to create more content. I have a lot of information in my head that I hope you would find useful. It’s not particularly useful if it stays in my head. Of course, I will get other benefits. It helps build my credibility and hopefully it’ll help you better understand what I do and how I look to add value.
What I hope that you will gain from my blogging – I am writing these not just to show you how awesome I am. It’s not meant to be about me. I am hoping you will find some level of of value from every post that I write. Further, if you cannot see value in what I am writing, hopefully at some stage you will see something that will be of value to someone else in your network. I am hoping that some of the content that I am sharing will be content that you are happy to share with your network.
What I will be talking about – I have varied business interests and business knowledge. My mission is to connect people and create meaningful conversations. I have a telecommunications business so I provide the equipment people need to connect with others. I am a qualified PR practitioner, a member of the IABC, so I consult on what people should say. I’ve got an MBA so I work with businesses on using technology to improve business process management and project management. I’ve grown my business through networking so I’ll talk about online and offline networking as well
That’s it for day 1 of the 365 day challenge. I hope you’ll follow my journey and I hope you’ll find the gold nugget that is valuable for your business.
