The rules need to be realistic to serve me and my business, rather than obligating me to serve the blog and setting me up for failure if I don't keep my own rules! The guidelines for this blog are NOT the key metrics for my business. This blog is a mirror for demonstrating some of my business activities and progress, not a benchmark. This blog was really more of an interesting idea than a necessary function of business. The blog needs to be more than a list of names and topics—it is to be a reflective tool. If I'm too busy having conversations to put up a daily post, then the blog must take lower priority. However, the blog is helpful for accountability, so if I'm too busy having conversations to put up a weekly reflective post, I probably need to rearrange my schedule a bit.
Original Rules
1. Have two conversations five days a week about what I'm doing and/or why I'm doing it.
2. Email counts, though phone is better and in-person is best.
3. Report those conversations here, with one post for every two conversations or so.
4. As appropriate, provide names, links, contact info, pictures, etc.
5. Have fun building a business through being a Connector (as per Malcolm Gladwell).
6. Periodically reflect on the significance of these conversations.
Adjusted Rules
1. Average two conversations five days a week about what I'm doing and/or why I'm doing it.
2. Email counts, though phone is better and in-person is best.
3. Enjoy building a business through being a Connector (as per Malcolm Gladwell).
4. Report some of those conversations here. Try to report weekly or more—e.g. by Thursday or Friday as the business week is winding down, or Monday/Tuesday after a weekend of touring or conferencing.
5. Reflect on the significance of these conversations.
6. As appropriate, provide names, links, contact info, pictures, etc.
