Tick, tock

The days are passing by, and you'll notice I haven't posted any new entries, which would imply (see previous post) that I don't have three of them written yet.

However, I do have the first two Oktoberfest meetings scheduled. And…er…other stuff as well.

I'll get back to you on that.

Here you go. Another pretty picture, courtesy of my friend Don Comedy of Marble Falls, Texas.


More later. No, really!

I have a new goal for March

I just set a new goal for March, even though we're well into the month. Here it is:

  • Come up with a list of thirty topics for my business blog (this; what you're reading right now).

I just came up with 33 of them.

Great! Check!

Oh, all right. That was actually my goal for this afternoon, not the whole month.

Well, okay, to be honest, it was my goal for this week because I thought it would be harder; this afternoon's goal was only five ideas, plus a nap. But I had somehow forgotten that as I read articles that spark my interest or trigger some train of thought about an appropriate subject, I jot down notes or copy the link to the article and stash it in my "Business blog" folder. So when I went through all the files in that folder, I had 27 ideas, blam! right there. I thought a bit and came up with the next three so I could say I reached thirty, and the three extra were 1) because they occurred to me, and 2) because some of the ones earlier on the list now sound kind of boring.

I've had enough of writing about things I found boring. I'll do that for money, but for free…nuh-uh.

So here's the real March goal, updated and expanded: I'm going to write those 33 blog entries. I'll post three a week, starting as soon as I have three of them written. If I don't get it done…hmm. Well. There should be some sort of penalty involved, shouldn't there? I know, if I don't get them done, I have to go to some networking group I know I won't like, preferably one that costs money. Any suggestions?

So check back and see if there isn't some actual, you know, content here soon. In the meantime, look at this pretty picture.
