Starting a Blog

Everyone has an opinion including, no especially me, but rarely do you get to organize that opinion into something constructive. I attended a conference late last year The Marketing Mastery Summit and one of the speakers was John Chow, as he calls himself the “Infamous” blogger. He spoke about money and how much you can make, how much he made over what time period and how now he doesn’t tell anyone anymore because it’s too much.

But the real impact for me and for John was the overwhelming freedom he had over his own life. John was doing something he loved to do and getting paid handsomely for it. I could immediately relate to the feeling because for 25 or so years I was the same. I loved what I did, was challenged by it and looked forward to going to work, 90% of the time and I got paid to do it to.

As I get older I’m finding I’m too fussy, too set in my ways and don’t play well with some of the other kids on my block. I have all these memories, great experiences and I should be happy having that to comfort me as I wind down the career, fat chance of that.

So what do I do now? Well I’m somewhat literate, been a few places on the planet that have had quite an impact on me, as well as some of my friends. Whom I’m going to try and coheres into sharing the fuddy duddy experiences as if we were kids again that we’ve all laughed about and had together over the years. If you got the chance to look back at life that brought you happiness why wouldn’t you.

BUT I love the Internet and innovative technology to much to stay in the past. I can’t wait to get going and look at what’s happening next in broadcast, equipment of all kinds and social media, with the maybe more than occasional comment in The Blunt Edge where I get to say what the hell I want.
