Read Andy Wibbel’s “I Blog Because” and was inspired to respond, too. I liked his #1 and #2.

1. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

I know I’ve made my share of mistakes. I hope that’s a good sign towards success (ahem). I’m a big admirer of education. I like blogging about mistakes, how I learned from my mistakes. Helping others avoid what I went through makes me feel that I contribute to the universe in a positive way.

2. The 2nd of the 7 Deadly Sins: I do ‘Envy’ the Written Word

Blogging keeps this noggin on its toes. I admire you journalists, authors and the like, especially in the realm of copywriting for business. Once you start observing the power of words to sell, persuade, and influence thought… wow! It’s mind blowing. Maybe that’s why I love certain television shows so much - there are some talented scriptwriters out there that keep me hooked on the tube for hours! I have to work a little bit harder than those born writers but practice makes perfect, right?

3. Business is about Relationships

Blogging is conversational and interactive. You can potentially get instant feedback from your readers and readers can have dialogue with your other readers. Everyone learns from each other. It’s humbling when you get feedback especially when you didn’t know anyone cared about your thoughts, expertise, or point of view.

4. Life in the Fast Lane

I just love technology for business. Blogging is exciting. I love learning what new Wordpress plugins are being developed to help solve business solutions and help make life easier.

5. I’m not an Elephant

You know that saying, “An elephant never forgets.” Well, days pass and I don’t know what I’ve been doing. I know I’ve been busy. Having a blog compensates for my lazy memory. I can visit my blog and read posts where I might have document progress on a project, thoughts and observations around current events (business/life), lessons I learned, marketing and promotional efforts… the list goes on.
