Almost 2 Decades

I started blogging
for Jscott on RoadToForbes
in June 2005.

That’s dang close
to 20 years
of daily blogging
on that site
which eventually became
this site.

Those daily posts
helped me remain current.

They allowed me
to think through my thoughts
and better understand
the mechanics of business building.

And they gave me
a way
to pass along to others
a good chunk of the knowledge,
often not at all
politically correct,
I had gained
from a lifetime
in business.

I have NO regrets.
It has been an honor
and a privilege
and I would have done it all again
in a heartbeat.

Thank you.

Having Your Own Online Space

I LOVE social media.
I absolutely love it.

Many of the venues
are great for promoting products,
especially books.

There are a variety of people
and many experts
are on social media.

But these social media sites
are controlled by other people.
I was evicted from Facebook.
Twitter is having issues.
Sites come and go.

My own sites,
my blogs,
including this one,
remain.

I have been posting
daily
for over 16 years
here
(first on Road To Forbes,
then on Client k).

I own the site.
I decide
what to do with it
and how long
I stay here.

That’s valuable.

If you’re building a business,
set up a website
or blog.
Own it.
Control it.

Ensure customers
always know where to find you.
