The business of blogging

Winter Park Florida cemetery
Yesterday on the cool down walk after the Watermelon 5k.

 

Fancy graphic design can be an insidious place to hide.

Why?

Because it’s tempting to disguise boring with polish.

If the point of your website is a one-time visit, then maybe.

If the point is primarily content creation (daily, thought-provoking content), better to focus on real versus shiny.

Stories and relevance are far more important than bells and whistles.

Some people have an obligation (and passion) to be the funniest person in the room, no matter what room it is.

Some people have an obligation (and passion) to be the best deepest thinker in the room, no matter what room it is.

One is a professional comedian. The other is a professional speaker.

And when either one makes a commitment to share their best work for free on the Internet, how cool is that?

Like Steve Jobs’ early struggles, many entrepreneurs know these first hand

Story structure is pretty simple, and true

 

Like Steve Jobs’ early struggles, many entrepreneurs know these same struggles first hand.

How do we take a crazy notion and convince a busy world to slow down for a moment of honest consideration?

It’s a bit like being an adventurer or explorer.

If it was easy, or reasonable, it would already be mainstream.

This challenge taunts our spirit. The same spirit that has the power to ignite and inspire a world to change.

This makes the entrepreneur’s existence come alive.

There is so much BS claiming balance is a myth that no one even questions it anymore.

Well, there’s still at least one.

Crazy fool to believe?

Those of you that know what this means, know what this means

does this photo make sense to you?

This photo makes no sense if you didn’t start here, which would have led you to here, which then would have taken you here… which would have brought you directly here (the post your reading now).

But if you did start there though, this photo makes perfect sense.

And whether this makes sense or not, it all comes together for the grand finale here.
