Well, it’s been nearly 90 days since I stopped blogging cold turkey. Since then I’ve hosted the first meeting of the Denver Social Media Club, I’ve survived countless attacks on my credibility, I’ve seen my business grow just for my attention to it, I’ve purchased a new home, I’ve moderated several Web 2.0 discussions, I’ve listened in on several more. All without blogging.
One of my good friends who is a recovering alcoholic told me that one of the greatest things about his initial visits to AA back in the days he was trying to quit drinking, was the other recovering alcoholics who led him to believe that he could actually live his life without alcohol…something he didn’t believe was possible at the time.
Lemme see…I’m on a panel for the IAOC in a couple of weeks talking about blogging…I’ve been asked to write a whitepaper for a well-known PR publication about social media…I’m going to Scotland golfing with my father…and guess what, I don’t think I’ll blog.
Try to enjoy your summer! Look positively towards the many possible career choices you have. Blog if you want to…but don’t blog because you think you must.
